I refuse to stoop to such lows. REs on objectives waiting for hacking enemies, sure that's legit. REs in ambushes along streets or paths, sure. Hell, even REs flung onto spawns for cheapy spawn kills - all good. REs flung around like doom musubis at the feet of soldiers in CQC is NOT cool. Can't wait for the nerf... |

All the people crying about RE's should have played a game for the PS2 called Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and the superior version of RE's known as C4. That stuff would stick to vehicles, walls, anything really, and it only took 2 to blow up a tank. I have run into more than a few thrown-at-my-feet RE's and it always annoys me but the proposed changes seem insanely drastic. Especially considering all one need do to avoid the thrown-at-my-feet RE's is to not charge directly into the enemy in a vain attempt to murder them while being 3 inches away.
Unless you're in a heavy suit, in which case you have no defense at all. Running full sprint when they toss one at my feet (proto heavy suit) means death no matter what. They suck and need this coming nerf to bring them inline with SANE damage and use. |

I find my blow you the **** up tactic is less effective recently because, MOST PLAYERS, have learned and are smart enough to be mindful of the trap that is being set. They are paranoid at all times. They back up. They predict the trap placement and move just outside of what may be laying around that corner.
most of the time when I'm confronted with a player who knows how to counter my movements to blow them up, ends up in me dying and them living.
If you (or your entire group lol) can't see the the person your chasing down who is running backwards with no gun, is throwing a RE at your feet, then you are probably at fault for still deciding the chase them down.
edit: on the topic of friendly fire, yes RE should damage friendlies. It is a shame they do not.
The problem with this, from a heavy's point of view, is that the trap comes to US. We cannot evade in any way shape or form. Hell, even killing the RE using pansy with a sidearm still results in the RE killing us - we literally have no means of escaping or countering the RE and that is extremely frustrating, as well as unbalanced. Why should someone with level 1 in a 2x skill (remote explosives) be able to one-shot me with something of which he carries _5_ while I'm running around in a suit that took _4_million_sp_ to be able to don without me being able to at least limp away, if not counter or escape entirely? It is asymmetric and unfair. This nerf is almost as badly needed as the swarm launcher nerf was prior to the current build. |

That said, please bear in mind that we are balancing items based on player behaviours and forum discussions, but removing items from the game seems a tad extreme wouldn't you say? Bingo this guy is right. Don't get me wrong throwing down a RE before you die to score a kill is a cop out to me. but than again sometimes the players are dumb. examples 1. chasing someone that has RE's dumb and i hope you get blown to hell 2. not checking ab or c before you hack it dumb BOOOM! (you can toss a grenade and it will make the RE's go boom so you dont go boom.)
2) I've done that, only to have the RE guy come running up behind me and drop another at my feet as soon as I start hacking. Before I can react and sprint (in a heavy suit lolgasm) away *boom*
These things SO need the coming nerf. |
