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'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 i remember you threw it as you died and nabed me with it from beyond the grave :P

In the nicest possible way you are and A-hole with those things. But man do you use them with style. One day I will beat your Remote Mine Field and kill you..... until then watch out for me. GG man you make them look bad ass. When are you going to get me with those remotes  I hate feeling left out.
team players has their own remote user if i remember correctly :P
that and you guys never play scrim, just ambush/dom.
aldin did a nice job of not getting blown up the other day, but i got greedy and was trying to force the kill.
you just cant force kills with them, you just gotta let em happen, so im not going to hunt for you, im just going to wait patiently :P |

3 is never enough |

Gg bro, all I thought the whole match was blow him up, an don t let him kill you with your move! That right I said my move lol! Seriously tho let the re stay underground , why in thewould you make a post about our trick ssshhhhh;p
becuase i want people to get better at avoiding them :P |

Then I was flying through the air. Yeah, the kill screen, that is where I know your name from. I am assuming it was a scan trap, as I looked all around and did not see you before the detonation. Such deaths at least give me the comfort of thinking to my self: GÇ£Someone read my guide!GÇ¥  Fox Guide: Remote Explosives, Unleash the Mad BomberBut to answer your question, no, they are not OP. If they were OP everyone would be doing it.
i havnt read your guide before.... |

Boundless shine when you start seeting up larger minefilds or guarding multiple chokepoints, being able to have 5 deployed with another 4 from a set of F/45s gives you alot of coverage and 2 fireing groups, you can cover 4 shokepoints that way easily.
i usually setup in two firing groups, one outer layer and an inner layer used as a means of retreat or for when a push is big enough to breach your main line.
i dont have bounless though so i just use f/45s as outer defence and regular remotes as my inner safeguard.
your faster set should always be your outer ring due to the need to redeply them in a hurry for a quick reset |

you can place them to be boht not directly visable... and extremly hard to granade properly... and taking the time to do so usually results in death by SMG/or a granade of my own.
if you can see it... its the bait, not the boom |

Except that then I would be an even worse support player :/
Also by the way...do you use X-3 nanohives with your REs? Cause if you don't, I would highly recommned that you do, that is, if you can fit them.

they dont really effect me...
its not the remote you see thats the problem... its the one you DONT see, the first was just bait.
plus the time it takes you to flux the remote ive just ran away... i dont wait and stick around for you to chase me down, if you catch on i just GTFO |

But i imagin if i in a scenario like yesterday, assault a position, peek trough a wall, take out 2 guys ...backup ..place explosive ...wait for chump to come get me .."BOOM" ...move trough shoot some more people, backup again and then a blob came trough the crack, killed half of the blob and then i overheated my Imperial aand it went downhill from there... but with the explosive, they would have all been dead. Though i am not sure if i would be ok with "aiming in advance", i am too much of a relic with my own imposed honorable codes i suppose....
eh, dont bend your own code for them its not worth it.
me? im a tactician. i read the battle and act acordingly.
using REs as a primary weapon requires prediction and manipulation. i purposly take hits so that i apear weak, or leave a remote int he open to stall for time as they waste effort getting rid of it. place them out of sight or in such a way that they have to leave themselves open if they want to get rid of it, alowing me to shoot with the SMG or give me a second extra to cook my granade.
they are also REALLY tedious with KB/M we really need hotkeys for KB/M users to quick swap to equipments the wheel just doesnt work...
i use DS3 (with aim assist off that thing just gets in the way) and have everything just stored in muscle memory so i can swap to remotes just as easily as someone else can switch to their secondary.
