Hi!
It's me again,loveable Mj.Blindfisch.
What's the deal with all those complainers about claymores?
Sure,it's a spamfest on Karkand,but who isn't spamming on that map?The whole spamfest-action between us-base and hotel and players who can't do anything what differs from their daily routine are the real problem,not the claymores.
If laying down claymores doesn't take any skill,how much skill does it take to hurl grenades over a fence for the duration of the round(it was C4 before they finally nerfed that!),covering the road with AT-mines or planting C4 at a flag and just pushing the button when it turns neutral?
I checked out the flag radius at the South Base on Wake yesterday,it's about 25 meters from the flag,so a 50 meter diameter circle.
You can lie on the hill behind the hut and cap the flag,you can stand in the middle of the square right in front of the flag and cap it.You would need a shitload of claymores to make this spot uncappable.
I almost always place 2 claymores at the exits of the hut and get 2 kills almost every time,but is that my fault?
Sure,there are spots where it is pure suicide when you enter them(corridors in Warlord palace),but nobody ever said you have to take the stairs(roof,grappling hook?duh?).
If people would use the AT-mines more and there were more sneaky SpecOps-saboteurs who protect flags rather than suicide with jeeps - would there be a new wave of AT-mine and C4 whiners?
Another interesting point is that most of the people who extremely complain about claymores have spent most of their gametime on Karkand and almost spent no time with the sniper kit.
I'm a sniper and I don't complain about claymores.
Sure,everbody will say now"Yes,gaymorewhore,because you get the no-skill kills." - but I'm up against those gaymorewhores too,every side has snipers with claymores.
But I have a bit of experience with claymores myself,I know how I can get kills with,I know where they have failed - so with that knowledge I know how to avoid the enemies clays.
So maybe just walk a mile or two in the shoes of a sniper and get some experience with the claymores yourself instead of rushing to judgement because an unknown object killed you and you have no idea how it works.
So,anybody here with C4-saboteur skills or AT-miner who thinks about the same way about his "no-skill-items"?
Just discuss in general,and keep it clean....
