? friendly fire? doesent the name "smart" bomb mean it atleast has sensor's to not explode on allied contact? just my gues tho :p

It will only kill noobs since it will likely have some kind of delay to it, it will also likely only one hit scouts. This just means when you kill someone, you need to watch out for any audible or visual queues that they're about to explode, and get the hell out of dodge. Also, this HAS to have friendly fire, I will laugh so damn hard the first time I see someone sniped while near their buddies, exploding and taking them all with him

I for one thing the T bag defense mechanism will be a fun and interesting addition to the game, and this coming from a CQC guy.

They said it would kill ANY infantry within it's range, so it's probably going to be as strong as an E3 remote detonator .

I think you're hanging too much on the light description that they've given us so far. I for one reserve all judgement until I actually see how the damn thing functions. It will likely have high CPU / PG requirements, meaning to put it on a cheap suit would severely gimp you, and putting it on a good suit means you're guaranteed to lose that ISK as opposed to being revived. I think it will be fine, I'll STILL ghost up on people and merc their face off, bomb or not.

You'd think, but smart bombs are anything but in EVE. They damage anything and everything around them, so you need to be really careful with them. Plus, you can't use them in High Security space without alerting CONCORD (I believe, can anyone confirm?)

I think 125 hp a blast would be a fair start for it

People are going to run militia scouts with only a smart bomb.

Sci fi jihadding. once one gets' close enough, you're all going to die.

I would rather not see it be implemented at all.

they will kill any and all infantry.

Which means it'll be strong enough to down a heavy.

Says who?

CCP said that smart bombs will be strong enough to kill any, and all infantry within it's ranger. That includes heavies.

Post your source, because all I've seen is a single line translated from IRC that said it will take out infantry. It didn't say how much damage. It didn't say what kind of blast radius. It didn't list stats. It was just a tiny little blurb.

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill >_<

again, we're talking about CCP here. They like to overly buff new things.

Cool story bro! Now show proof

its a device you can equipment, and it'll explode when you die, killing all other infantry within it's radius.

Yea, that's going to ruin CQC combat.

wanna-be CoD martyrdom. STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS GAME INTO COD PEOPLE, AND NOT THE FISH! ugh.

Teh lulz at rage +1

Wanna-be good player, you can't even pull off a 360 no-scope throwing knife quad from exactly 666 meters. What a scrub.

Seriously though, it's a bad idea.

Wang said it "will not be a weapon that gets easy kills." At least read the stickies people.

cool lets bring martyrdom to DUST

i think it will prob be player controlled
like how ppl could detonate REs while in a bleedout state
i think the same would be the case for the smart bomb

i for one look forward to it, its gonna be funny when ppl go in for the teabag and get blown up lol
when FF gets turned on the trollin and lulz that will happen omg lol

This smart bomb thing sure sounds an awful lot like martyrdom in the COD games.

Depending on what slot it uses up and how wide a radius it has, abuse potential is high.

He's more than likely exaggerating

I read about this somewhere on the forums from some official post, and as soon as I read it I immediately thought "martyrdom".

Seems like that is exactly what it is, you die and then explode after a certain period of time, not at all unlike in COD where you can drop a live grenade when you die. Essentially the exact same concept.

But a gm said it won't be a lolEasyKilll on a link in this thread

Good game earlier, i think that was my only time playing against you

Well that's good news. Let's hope it's effective only under ideal conditions, otherwise every FPS player who has ever played COD will be on this like flies on stink.

My guess is that it will be mostly useless on large map objective type games, but once you venture into those tight corridor TDM matches, it may become a problem.

Either way should be interesting to see what happens with it. Wonder what variations its going to have? (aside from standard, advanced, prototype stuff. As in are we going to have variations that explode the instant somebody dies? (kind of like the thukker grenade explode on impact stuff vs delayed fuse grenades). Cause I could see the insta-explode being much more prone to abuse and overuse.

lol yea ggs
u guys move like a pack of hungry wolves always together lol
it was just me and 1 other guy and well he was my sniper so not really much we could of done that ambush game
usually hate rollin with only 2 ppl in squad for that very reason lol
