Hardly. I see at most 1 or 2 people per match using them, with many matches having none. Nope, RRs, CRs, and tanks are still FoTM. It's just that everyone has already cried their eyes out over those and now they've moved on to REs, which have been the same for a long, long time. |

Yeah, sorry Aero, but I just haven't seen anything to suggest that.
I want to stand behind my Amarrian brethren, but I guess we're not running into the same crowds.

Not even close. Even after all this time, I still see plenty of games filled to the brim with tanks, and when there are no tanks... Rail Rifles. Rail Rifles everywhere... Combat rifles are, oddly enough, actually kind of rare in comparison. 
Remotes are still pretty uncommon. A few players use them to good effect and everyone complains. I think I've only been RE'd two, maybe three times since 1.7 launched, though I've had a few noobs try to do so and fail. It's far from being FoTM, though they are managing to gain a fair bit of popularity and likely will continue to do so if they're not nerfed in 1.8. 
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

From my observation, remotes are more of a "come and go" thing.
People start using remotes, they are successful. More people start using remotes. Critical mass is achieved, people learn to avoid remotes. Not falling for remotes becomes part of the new meta, people stop using remotes. People forget about remotes.
Time passes.
Someone starts using remotes, they are successful. Yadda yadda yadda.

It's just that everyone has already cried their eyes out over those and now they've moved on to REs, which have been the same for a long, long time. honestly CCP made a simple mistake which someone found and it made a big problem with the balance on tanks and thats the only reason they used so much right now and normally when you see alot of RE's its the ones stacking them on LAV's although I keep hearing that they will fix that so really CCP fixes that 1 issue with tanks and it will balance out better but just to get this out its hard for me to see tanks as the FOTM when I can kill them with my swarms quite easily me and a buddy yesterday were laughing because everyone is bithcing about AV when it's so easy to kill them with swarms and forge guns since 98% of them are noob wannbe duel hardner tanks if not just a dmg mod stacked tank.
Either way MLT and poor fit std tanks die easy and only a slight few actually fit thier tank different than this and they are the ones who are tougher to kill but rail rifle and combat rifle do feel quite powerful but same can be said about other guns too |

I actually was for once in ambush and messing around with a skinweave heavy which is basicly mlt with an adv hmg since I had it lvled and ran into a few using the scout shotgun RE tactic it was quite easy even as a heavy to spot and evade the RE trap better yet just blow it up lol but I can understand |

There not FOTM, they easily counterable, you shoot the guy in the face! They are popular right now because alot of people are brick tanking heavies with RRs, RE is the logical counter, have you seen more forge guns? I have, for the same reason.
They aren't fitting of the month, they are just the counter to the FOTM.

Sometimes i come accross some guys who use remotes and they are pretty easy to outplay. All you need is situational awareness and jump away from the remote explosive when he throws it at you. This can be achieved by backing off/bunny hopping or rushing towards the guy. Soundwhoring plays a huge part in this cause once you throw a equipment it makes a sound.

tip # 1 of being a demo guy.... throwing remotes at people is a last ditch gambit as it almost never works, if your throwing a trmote at someone or attempting to corner trap someone the objective isnt really the kill... its to use that moment of pause to get away.
ive been a lover of these little parcels of fun and ive watched them wane in and out of pupolarity a few times, but NEVER have they been FOTM.... RR is the current flavor of the month because well you enter games and chances are that 12-14 people are using RRs....
talk to me when literally EVERY person in a match you enter is carrying remotes and THEN we will talk.
remotes are back in the spotlight now because they are the current counter to FOTM mlt tank spam, not FOTM themselves. |

If there are 3-4 guys bunched up in one area and looking the other way, damn right I'm going to try to remote the lot of them.
Doing it from the front is possible but very risky and is sort of a last-ditch effort kind of thing. Usually you can only detonate post-mortem and most people have enough sense to back up or sprint forward when they see you do this from the front.
Otherwise remotes are best as pre-meditated traps, as it's easier to just kill single players with the shotgun (with the exception of heavies, who I sometimes RE just for the surefire kill). |

I have been seeing quite a bit, though, they appear to only be FotM if its someone from the forums. Any game where I recognize any of you, you're pretty much using RE grenades.
I don't want to blanketly state everyone here does it, I don't, its just that of the people I run into who are just chucking REs, the vast majority have been forum participants.

why nerf REs?? just look the surrounding before hacking the NULL CANNON and destroy them if you see one.
A remote explosive, Advance and higher, should be enough to kill you in one hit. It's the point of a tactical explosive.
They already said that RRs and CRs will be nerf so why still cry over that.
More and more I just see posts of people complaining just because they die....is a FPS...you will die...eventually.

So? it shouldn't matter if you spent more in your suit. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of your surrounding. If you enter a bottle neck in a corridor or you are near a Null cannon console just look around.
I'm not a heavy user of REs because I don't have much patience waiting for the pray to go to the correct spot but that doesn't mean that other players can't use this for their advantage.
Most of the reasons are just because you don't like to die or just because you don't want other players play as they like. Nevertheless I agree that something should be done with the tanks.

With more heavies running arround, expect more hard counters for high HP. I'm a big fan of REs on spawn campers, they were all waiting at the uplink for free kills, and didn't expect a suicide bomber!

Ya so that **** has to go....
Is a tactical explosive, it should be a one hit kill. It's a bomb, maybe change the dmg on the basic but still I think it's ok. The bug of still triggering them bleeding is wrong and should be fixed.

I don't think REs deserve any nerfs, yes they are a ***** when they get you but they are not as strong as people make them out to be.
The only thing i would like to see is a way to detect them with active/passive scanning as you cant expect people to check the ground underneath them 24/7 especially when there is someone shooting at you. |

Your mostly considered dead, you cant move
Somehow you can detonate an RE but cant fire you gun while on the deck
So frankly remove the trigger RE after death and the RE is fixed somewhat

I do run scout yes, but that's only in this last 2 months... The ScR can one hit more than scouts/mlt suits, no suit can survive after a charge-shot lands, It's only a few simple taps on R1 to finish them off ..
When you take into account the prof.5, Amarr Assault 5, and DMG mods The weapon is way to powerful, and if you add up the total for if each shot was charged The the DMG output off them is insane, and don't kid yourselves acting like it's that difficult to land a charge shot on any suit repeatedly
This is an FPS, a large section of the playerbase is accurate as this is not their first FPS To have a weapon in the rifle class that hits that hard doesn't add up As it is made too powerful with too few drawbacks, such as feedback DMG, (ScR feedback DMG is less than 1/3 of a LR)
Plasma Cannons works, any less drawbacks
And I would have an Atomic Bomber on my shoulder

Just looks like people would rather run and gun, not being aware of their surroundings, not looking before they leap. So what happens? I take full advantage of it, click, BOOM. Been using RE's since forever and idiots always do the same thing, running at me with guns blazing or after me with guns blazing, hilarious to look behind and see a charred clone hitting the floor after lift off. You want to blame your deaths on something? Blame yourselves. and don't get me started on tanks.

You cant be aware of your surrounding when someone throws an RE like a nade which has a 3m radius and deal something like 1500 damage.......

There are 3 rifles in this game that have the potential to shred any suit in under 2 seconds. The SCR only does that for scouts.

Either way MLT and poor fit std tanks die easy and only a slight few actually fit thier tank different than this and they are the ones who are tougher to kill but rail rifle and combat rifle do feel quite powerful but same can be said about other guns too

I've been using them for over a year now and by any chance is the OP a heavy? Or perhaps have a lot of healtg on his clone.
I say this because if your up against a heavy, REs are the counter, a scout will never take down a heavy whos just about to walk round the corner, they have 3 options, 1. Leg it 2. Remote Explosives 3. Nova knives
Its the same with a fukly decked out caldari logi. You have those 3 options. So currently there is a heavy event, a lot of guys with a lot of health.
The counter?
Remote Explosives.
Now people talking about frisbe explosives, the explosives can only be detonated once they have stuck to something for 2 seconds, this is only effective down stairs, its not effective anywhere else.

... but suicidal bombers...! and besides, we get one last "fuuuuuuuuck yoooou!!!" before getting put down completely, if that. Most of the time people forget to double tap, if you did that I wouldn't have just set off the remote that was set at your feet or your squad's feet and get +50 once or three times.

I see them everywhere, but most of my deaths come from me finding them and shooting them. Apparently, the blast diameter is about the length of the range of a HMG. My biggest problem is that I only get 3 Fluxes to combat them. It's almost enough to make me carry a Flaylock, but I don't need another handicap.
