Played a few games today and the biggest thing that stood out was the players who would constantly just drop a remote explosive in the middle of a firefight and before anything can happen you are blown to ****. It occured to me on one of these demises that my proto forge gun cant even charge up to fire at the ground to stop this ******* nor could my SMG or creodon assault rifle all in a proto heavy suit. Tried out running them in a scout suit no good they will toss more until your are vapor. A three second "cast time" for remote explosive placement will allow this dirty tactic to be less viable. The remote explosive are there to destroy objectives, vehicles and allow a trap to be placed, NOT full on offensive suicide bombers that dont die from their own explosion. Ive ranted enough, thoughts.
Edit: did some search and the word is a 5 second place time is coming  |

I don't care what it is; thank god - people totally abuse it. I will say chucking a grenade could stand to be a little faster - not much but a little. |

They better be sticky so I can take out tanks that try to drive off. (Without the arming time I can easily throw it at their vehicle and get the charge off) |

Thats exactly why they are being nerfed. Remote means to place them, be far away, and then detonate them. Lay out traps, try placing near objectives and have patience. Or just use grenades. |
