Claymore glitch?

breadmonkey · 20-02-2010 03:05PM #1

NOTE: I don't mean "glitch" in the infinite care package sense!

Twice last night, I watched as players ran over my claymores without setting them off.

Was this just a random glitch or is there a perk that gives you this ability?

Did they go off late or just not at all? Scrambler pro delays claymore explosions so perhaps that was all it was?

I have noticed that sometimes when I go to shoot claymores to blow them up, nothing happens and I can walk right by them and shoot the camper they're trying to protect

Just didn't go off at all. I watched the kill cam and he was using marathon.

Stop camping?

Jackobyte · 20-02-2010 03:40PM

Seems like it is a bug so.

Rb, you give out about campers in every thread anyway related to the topic. Grow up, if people want to snipe, what right do you have to criticise them over it?

And I don't mean to back-seat mod or anything, it just annoys me when people criticise others for playing a game in a different method.

So use of the claymore = camping yeah? Case closed :rolleyes:

Rb · 20-02-2010 03:43PM

Ooh touchy touchy.

Let's not get into this again, sure we saw how the campers react to being called out only the other day

Breadmonkey: It's probably just another bug, you should check the IW forums to see if other people are reporting it as it's literally the only hope of getting it sorted.

I don't want to get in a personal row with you and derail the thread, it is just that we all paid the same price for the game (some of us even paid more and bought the prestige edition), so if we want to use a sniper rifle, why shouldn't we just because some people don't like getting picked off across a map repeatedly?

scrambler pro delays the claymores i'd say by using marathon he was too quick in goin by it so didn't kill him.

Yes but it didn't actually explode at all!

Just had a quick look at the IW forums and sweet Jesus they suck. Literally every post in every thread is some sort of troll or attack.

Have noticed this myself, always assumed it was because of scrambler, but then I often try to shoot enemy clay's and they don't explode.

Not The Real Scarecrow · 20-02-2010 04:46PM

Actually happened to me twice last night where I ran through the claymores and they didn't go off. I don't have scrambler pro on all I had was the marathon and light weight set up. Usually when you run through a claymore with this set up the claymore mightn't totally kill you but you're in a bad state. Last night though they just didn't even explode, thought at first it was just cause I'm so super speedy, but after reading this thread hope its a new glitch.Fecking hate claymores.

Lad if the claymore get flashed or stunned it is rendered useless for a short time, if you look at your claymore and it has sparks and **** flying out of it, it will not go off.

Same goes for c4 if it sparks you can not trigger it!

Hmmm, don't remember if it had sparks flying out of it etc. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it happens again.

Jev/N · 20-02-2010 06:59PM

Eh, Marathon and Scrambler aren't in the same category so he could be using both?!

Ah yes, I read scavenger for some stupid reason. I doubt he had scrambler on as I'm pretty sure he had a super speedy ninja knifer class but I think we should end this thread since I didn't really have enough info to start it in the first place

greenman09 · 20-02-2010 07:41PM

Good point

citizen_p · 21-02-2010 02:14PM

you guys are forgetting that flash/ stun grenades also disrupt claymores...

craze7 made that point. If there are sparks coming from it, it is currently disabled.

Yes, i do camp sometimes. I get much more pleasure out of getting the highest score from sniping than from running around with an assault rifle. I will swap between classes depending on the map.

MikeyCyrus · 22-02-2010 01:32AM

Solution : Point the claymore the other way

shawpower · 22-02-2010 10:49AM

Guys, we really need to give up on this camper trolling. Okay, some people who use these forums don't like that style of play. But that doesn't excuse flaming any thread where someone mentions something that might indicate they camp a bit. I mean, the OP said the IW forums were horrendous with constant trolling/flaming etc. We're in danger of heading that direction with the constant bickering about camping etc.

This forum is far more useful and fun if people can post genuine questions/discussions without having to worry about getting flamed. [/mod]

But seriousy lads,
what is the story with the so called claymore glitch ???
last night I was holding down a room and put a claymore in the doorway behind me and was at the other exit trying to get out of the room safely when I was shot in the back by a dude with a shield on his back. He didn't "witch" past the claymore....he didn't lob a stun grenade in first, he was literally standing still on it when he shot me and he didn't run away or anything. The claymore simply didn't go off.

Very weird as I had great success with scavenger+claymore kills in the same round.

Scrambler pro delays the explosion. So it might have gone off after the kill-cam finished.

A ha.....
That would make sense alright.
Thanks !!

MiCr0 · 22-02-2010 12:33PM

you'd then get some points for a unattended kill

CAMPER! Just kidding son. Double-kill with claymores is especially nice.

Jumpy · 22-02-2010 12:55PM

Claymoring, then getting the same person again with another one that you scavenged from his body is pretty much the most fun ever.

Ha ha love it son, there's nothing wrong with dropping a claymore in the doorway of the door you've just come through as 5 times out of 10 there is someone following you. Got a Pavelow on Karachi last night with the scavenger+claymore combo. Works a treat on that map. Double kills are always nice !!

Claymore glitch?
