Claymores WTF!!

AnCapaillMor

I actually disagree with the non tking of claymores.

Anyway does anyone know if its a server setting. Was playing on a server last night and christ over 4 rounds, i racked up 9 TK's, i was sniper and i'd know if i shot the guys. i was laying Claymores all over the place. Really cost when i was commander. lost 20 freaking points(how i was'nt kicked i don't know), 40 when you double it.

Artillery? Maybe? Or as ive seen happen a few times, your claymore gets set off by an enemy but a friendly is also nearby and gets killed too

The commander score is the sum of all commander points earned. The commander points are every point earned by a member of your team during your reign as commander divided by the total of living team members at the given time. This is multiplied by two at the end of the round, when your team wins, and only if you are still active commander at the end of the round. Artillery kills or any personal achievement does not add up to this number. Personal achievements besides artillery kills are added to your points in the round, and count as combat or team points.

^^ I never knew the commander kills didn't count, thats me told :v:

Thankfully the overall claymore maximum is being reduced to just two per person which will lower their appeal... But still, despite that little niggle, I much rather being able to freely roam our own portions of the captured maps without being under threat from some knob Sniper on our team throwing claymores all over the place.

I hardly ever get to take advantage of the 5 claymores as there either isnt a support guy in the area or the support guy isnt playing support properly and not dropping any ammo. Im used to the 2 claymores from previous versions so its no skin off my back. I love the sniper rifle though, starting to get a lot of practive with the svd, and its just as good as the other 2 in my opinion but not as good as the new Uber Sniper rifle

I honestly do believe, however, that if they weren't going to allow for Claymores to TK fellow teamates then they should have at least allowed for explosives of some sort (grenades / artillery / C4 etc) to still clear them out... Claymores now make areas completely inaccessable now seeing as they can't be removed unless someone treads by them... It's ridiculous.

could'nt agree more, on karkland the other night, the first flag, there was at least 8 claymores around it. Lobbed in a nade took out 2 guys, a guy ran up before me, boom!!, another boom, i climbed the ladder and boom!!. I know at least 4 guys were taken out by them after we lobbed in a bucketload of nades.

As for the class, always liked sniper in any game, sniper was pretty much sh!t on with accuracy until patch 1.20. using it alot more than before now. Love it on sharqui or on karkland when both sides are looking across each other from the river.

I wouldn't agree with that ropeh, ive managed to get around alot of various different claymore obstacles and ive learned how to place claymores more effectivly because of this.

and if you die (or even change class) they will remain until the end (or until detonated).

Surely they last until your kitbag vanishes?

sharqui is a good map for claymores especially the tv station plant them on the bottom door to the stairs. I racked up three kills within tens mins killing the same guy who want to go to the roof and spawn camp it ! I also agree they should tk but if that was the case I think we would have the same kinda thread now complaining that the shouldnt tk lol

If you place them right on that map you can kill an entire squad thats close enough

Sharqui last night, 3 of us captured the TV tower, 1 sniper, i was support and d'other guy was a medic. Basically i kept supplying the sniper with ammo for more and more claymores, and the medic revived if anyone got killed. The sniper cleaned up ending up being top scorer and i got a bucketload of ammo points. it was stupid the 3 of us held it for ages. Just kept placing 1 by door, 1 on stairs, 1 by the ladder and 1 just by the flag.
