This is disingenuous at best.

First off, the Charge Sniper negates your second point.

Shotgun damage is listed correctly. Pellet count is not listed, to the best of my knowledge. CCP's history of incredibly poor stat disclosure isn't even relevant. Do you know how long it took for them to give us shield resistance calculations in the fitting screen, when we'd had armour for a while yet? Strawman.

Injector? A requested feature, i.e. provably not a bug. And comparing context-sensitive convenience to a guaranteed kill? Strawman.

Proximity mines? Well, we don't call them 'detonate after a death has been added to your profile' explosives, so that argument is not strictly valid. Strawman.



More importantly, the effects and abilities of each weapon are listed pretty clearly, even if their stats are not.
The game considers the point at which your clone has been 'downed' a death. This is pretty clear, considering that one is added to your profile.

The fact that the RE has an undisclosed 'feature' that essentially awards the user a free kill is somewhat game-breaking.

There is no item in the game that allows action after death, let alone killing an enemy.

If Remote Explosives had an indicator in the way that a grenade does, this might be a legitimate argument. They do not. It is not.
It is incredibly easy to miss the person sprinting up behind you and dropping a remote.

It is unreasonable to expect that I can not only somehow 'know' the location of your dampened suit that moves 50% faster than mine (or double mine, depending on fitting). It is unreasonable to expect that I can see the remote explosive you have placed at my feet when my field of view doesn't even extend that far.

It is especially unreasonable to expect it of a Heavy Suit, who often is unable to escape the radius of the explosion before detonation.


It is a fallacy to compare an item that rewards a free kill to essentially pretty skill-free use (it happened to me in my heavy suit today. The person who did it to me? 3/11 or something like that) to the normal and fully-disclosed functioning of most other weaponry.

Once again, when you are bleeding out you are not dead.
NOT DEAD

If triggering remotes when bleeding out is removed then they should also remove "post-mortem" revives, an act which also is carried out whilst a player is BLEEDING OUT.

Learn to;
Watch where you are going
Kill the enemy, don't just incapacitate them. Double tap!!

Well good, under this logic I should still be able to shoot people with my CR or toss grenades. If you can push a button, I should be able to pull a trigger or throw a grenade.

this post-mortem remote explosive situation has got to go.

I do wonder if most of the QQ in this thread is from proto stompers, FOTM, KDR padders and tankers who sit and snipe.

All get impacted by someone who is happy to trade their clone for a tank, or someone happy to take a hit to their KDR to take/defend the objective.

It is known in war that when the odds go against a side, that when it is asymmetric, that the outgunned side has to fight smarter, meaner, leaner and do more daring things.

JLAVS vs HAVS
RE scout vs static HMG placement
Swarm vs 1.7
Dropships pilots vs buildings

Ther are soft and hard counters vs most tactics. When the enemy is prepared to trade their life for yours in the game of clones you will eventually die too. After all unlike real life the clones get to learn.

It's totally qq from the biggest bullies and cheap tactic crybabies in the game.

Redline tanks that sit there sniping cuz you can't stick remotes to their tanks but you can strap your car with them an park it beside the tank and get out an blow it.

Or these monster heavies that do drive bys on scouts an get a remote thrown on their car an get blown up when they go to drive away.

Or they sit 10 people in some tiny room in a ambush an some skinny scout says "FU I'm sick of this an they jump in the room an get 2/3 re down an hit the button".

Heavies will get a 25% reduction to remote damage in 1.8 that means 1500 re will only do 1125.
Remotes are counter weapons, their supposed to have a dead trigger, they've always had one.

So look where your going, don't stay in a equip spammed room an think your safe, don't redline rail tank an font have a full heavy LOGI leash squad in a small room thinking" ah this is easy , proto killing these fools" cuz jerk moves like that get you blown up!
