Funny thing is, most of the whole squad bunch up in doorways and clutter around one another so its easy to drop a RE, hear the explosive set and then press the button. Everyone is trying to back up that they cluster into one another and have no place to get clearance. Easy +50's. I can't tell you how many squads I see just running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Hilarious.

Easy when the opposing squad or person mis-step or fall back into another member, yup. Smart players are harder to catch off guard.

You know why remote explosives are used so much? Heavies. That's the only hope a scout or a medium suit have against an armor tanked juggernaut with a proto HMG. You don't like being killed by them but I don't like being killed by 7 heavies standing in front of an objective.
I also don't care much for being killed by shotgun scouts...but that's par for the course.
But remote explosives are fun....and they do make a sound when they're dropped. That's why its hard to sneak up on snipers with them....well, its not that hard but people who pay attention always move lol
Yesterday was a banner day for me...I dropped 3 remote explosives strategically and when all the heavies flooded into the objective where I knew they would be I detonated. I killed 8 of them in ONE shot with F/45 remote explosives.
and then spent the rest of the match getting mowed down by heavy spam and cloaked shotgun scouts....what can you do?
A good heavy will not fall for it. They'll hear the remote sound and instantly back up a few paces, shoot the RE or flux it. and sometimes if they're in a long corridor they will ACTIVELY search for remotes on the ground or walls and shoot those. Those heavies are the ones I can say impress me because they're self-aware and are hard as **** to take down. Most times I'll opt out and just go find a different target, one who's not smart and stupid... there are a bunch around LOL.

Easy when the opposing squad or person mis-step or fall back into another member, yup. Smart players are harder to catch off guard. Bumping into other players nothing. Have you ever used an amarr sentinel? They don't move in meters per second like your scout, they move in seconds per meter.
Yup, I have an alt with proto Amarr Sentinel, I don't die to RE's often. Why? Because I look around before I step. I have that paranoid mindset to look in every corner and above. If I do die to an RE it's because I get greedy for a kill or I'm backing up into other teammates who are staying stationary shooting at the opposing team while I go flying off the ledge due to an explosion.

The exaggeration in this post. Ouch.
I also use RE's on my assault, with the same results, people are just dumb.
