yes but you can throw it and run of you should have to be still for 3 seconds while laying

this is just plain stupidity... if he was able to drop it, run away, arm it, and detonate it while ur on it... give him/her the damned credit, and stop whining... it serves its purpose (hes just smarter than u)

You need more situational awareness. Those 4 guys were close enough together that one RE killed them, so they could have just as easily been run over with an LAV, spammed by grenades, or fluxed/MDed to death. The fact that a scout made of glass could run up to them, drop his remote, and detonate it before they dispersed is sneakiness to the scout's credit and lack of awareness to the victims' dismay.

I'm not pointing this at any one individual. No I'm not a heavy or a logi, I'm a Caldari assault. I think the majority of posters so far use RE. Honesty if I followed you around a corner then good on you, that's how it should be done. Lay a trap and lure some 'fool' to it! :) I have no problem with that. Saying to not stand still is stupid, plain and simple. Ever been in a PC battle fighting multiple opponents and in the chaos a scout dashes by and then BLAM four full health guys are gone! That's just wrong in my opinion, there is not enough time to react or places to go... Hell sometimes they sacrifice themself to take everyone out... Now if on the other hand they had actually planted a RE and you followed them and the group was blown to smitherine, that is just good tactics in my book. I just think its way to easy to abuse the current form of insta drop.

There is no placing it down currently, there is empty hands as they run past you and then blam your gone. It's a broken mechanic in my opinion. Why cook a grenade when you can run past someone and 'drop' (using this phrase lightly) a RE at their feet and once past blow them up. It should be placed first and then triggered when someone is there, not placed when they are already there!

This is just silly. When have you ever been in a PC match with a group of teammates and just forgot to shoot the guy charging at you? If your team neglects to shoot him then that's your teams fault. If he's a scout as you suggest even a few stray bullets will kill him let alone focused fire.

If he flanks your group it, he's probably going to mow you and your 3 friends down regardless with nades or shotgun or HMG in the same 3 secs it takes to arm a RE. With nades he could just as easily run off after throwing them.

If you are in a fortified position and have stopped moving watch your flanks. If a scout is able to consistently run in lay a RE then run out while it arms well that's an awesome job or poor play on your part.
