Agreed. Remote Explosives should be placed, activated, & then remotely detonated. They should be used for future ambushes. They should NOT be used as an excuse for someone having no skill with a weapon in the middle of a gunfight to get a cheap kill. If I get killed by a remote explosive placed on a hacking location (A, B, C) then thats my fault & I respect that kill. If I get killed by a remote explosive by spawning onto it without any chance of defending myself or even moving I respect that kill as that is the developers' fault for having such a centralized spawning point. However when I get killed by a person thats losing a gunfight & decides to guarantee his victory by chucking a series of remote explosives at me thats where I draw the line.
My problem ISN'T that remote explosives exist. My problem is with people using them as grenades. If all people are going to do is just throw them as a skill-less way to get cheap kills you might as well just remove grenades & replace them with remote explosives, (the thought of being in a game where everyone has remote explosives should scare everyone). The fact that so many people that have remote explosives use their remote explosives like grenades instead of grenades like grenades should also mean something. Remote Explosives are dangerous enough by themselves without the ability to be thrown.
As far as most infuriating deaths go for me, thrown remote explosives beat out spawn kills & aircraft kills (bouncing aircraft & parked aircraft ontop of towers). Everytime I've died by a thrown remote explosive I've known I would have won that engagement had my oponent not pulled out that last second, effortless, miracle play. Well, here's to hoping for more civilized murderings in the next build.

Adding a timer (like we have heard) should fix this issue, also making it so it can't be thrown as far as a grenade will help as well. The RE should have to be placed on the vehicle by the user, that is part of the risk/reward system. There is no physical law in this Universe that states C4 cannot be thrown at something and then detonated. P.S. If you have REs that can be thrown as far as a grenade can you please tell me where I can get some?
You, Sir (Oswald Banecroft II), are correct however there also "is no a physical law in this Universe that states" your teamates should take 0 (Zero) damage from a weapon/vehicle that you fired at them which would instantly damage/kill your opponents yet the developers set it up that way to make it [Dust 514] more fun & less infuriating against those that would exploit that specific "physical law". |
