hello folks im Chances Ghost and im a remote-aholic, you may remember me from that time you went flying across the map.
As an explosives expert i tend to get ALOT of hatemail/fanmail/GGs and it sees that there are some people out there that seem to think that remote explosives require no skill, are OP, and that im some sort of hellspawn of a troll who laughs as the bodys fly.
well part of that is right at least.
most people are used to the standard tricks of placing remotes on objectives, and tossing one as you die for the revenge kill. those are pretty standard and used quite oftin, by dedicated explsives experts and well everyone.
its not that imaginative and most deaths caused by them are easily prevented, you cant really get mad at that... you shoulda looked before you leaped, and against anyone whos smart and watches the killfeed it just plain wont work.
most people who use them that way use them like a sidearm, or like the equipment they are, a neat little trick to get an extra kill or two and give you a shot at defending an objective from far away.
unlike them however, they are my PRIMARY weapon. more then 70% of my kills are from remotes, and every day im coming up with new and interesting ways to sue them, from dropping them on people from above, to finding ways to trow them like frisbees, to (briefly) attaching them to teamates faces and letting them walk around as my own personal mobile explosive.
to drive this point home my weapon is an SMG wich is just weak enough to be underestimated and usually causes people to chase me like im an easy kill.
i use my remotes to hold CQC objectives from overwhelming numbers and once i get entrenched its extremly hard to remove me if i have some meat shields running around as distractions.
those that have faught me, please tell me. are REs OP?
do they truly require no skill? |

I think RE are fine. And hilarious.
Remote exposives are the most entertaining part of the game. Ive laughed out loud blowing peoiple up, blowing myself up and getting blown up by remote explosives.
There is nothing more funny than getting a freeze frame of an enemy ragdolling in a space bound trajectory at a capture point.
If you die to remote explosives, fit flux greandes.

RE are probably one of the most useful things that are under used in the game. They cant be considered OP as you can destroy the weapon before its used against you, also as you have said, they are useful for defending objectives as people still dont check properly to see if they are rigged.
They are great to use against murder taxis (or was) and you can put a few infront of an oncomming HAV and zero crutch em.
All in, I think RE are just fine. Skill wise, I think they are probably above AR/ScR and below Logi.

You tell me, I use them the same as you an blew you up in ur mk assault if I'm not mistaken. I'm a scout an it's also my main defense and offence, if I'm gonna die your coming with me an so are your buddies.
But dude if you like them, for god sakes don't make a thread inviting these nerf bums to have a opinion that's just asking for it. Let this thread get burried fast, I ve seen people try to use them like us an they fail an give up, only the creative get 25+ kills an 9 mercs at once, let it stay a secret |

If people cry it's OP it's because their core locus nades don't have enough splash to wipe out a swath of them just by throwing them randomly.
Which is why I run fluxes and whenever I near an objective I bombard the living kitten out of it with flux nades before hacking. |

aldin did a nice job of not getting blown up the other day, but i got greedy and was trying to force the kill.

I too am a mad RE bomber. My favorite is placing them at the top of stairways and making a group of reds chase me up and when they come up and around the corner.........BOOM!!!!!!
They never see it coming. Especially fun if its a raised platform to see thier husk fly off into the sunset. |

I love this post, but to say they require no skill when you use them often would be an outrageous statement; here's why: If you develop tactics around people who learn that you are still using explosives over time, it requires you to use them in ways that would seem (currently) unorthodox, because it is much easier to die from remote explosives and learn who detonated you in the first place, thus encouraging spiteful tactics to get "payback" and avoid their bombs. By this learning game, remote explosive users must change up their battle style to accommodate different uses of the remote explosive to get kills, which in result, develops different tactics that will add flavor to this game (and furthermore, "gun game").
