they arent invented in the future...same as claymores
@shoogknightThe game is matter of balance and fun.
Claymores are not really much fun, except for the one placing them. In a game where infantry-gameplay is "fast paced", they end up being annoying and 'fun-killers'.
Tactical shooters are another story, but claymores doesn't really fit BF games very well.
All 'passive'/indirect gadgets often ends up being detrimental to the fun of playing the game.
- @cso7777 i disagree. battlefield is supposed to be a more "thinking man's shooter" than something like COD with small maps. they were great in previous battlefield games when used to prevent flanks and protect entry points to buildings. they were also fun to troll snipers with (put down claymore, shoot the sniper once with pistol and watch the fun)
- @Psubond couldn't have said it better. Claymores allowed for a different strategy and game style, rather than the just run, gun, kill, get killed and respawn of COD. Which is what they've turned Battlefield into. Claymores made you think twice before running around everywhere and just shooting
- @cso7777 You’re wrong. Claymores in BF4 allowed you to take objectives with smaller groups by potentially covering common paths of entry. Also adding an additional element of fun instead of always run n gun.
@shoogknightI know that their use can be fine.
But in reality most of the times you are killed by a claymore, the person are on the opposite side of the map and only used the claymore for trolling/getting easy kills.
I don't know if it is fun to try escaping from a tank, only to have the nearest doorway covered by a claymore.
Pearl market with mix of shotguns and claymores are really something special...@cso7777And now that person knows that there is some one on that flag before it starts buying.
Also consider that Claymores remain unless detonated or a '4th' one is placed making the '1st' one despawn.
Claymores only annoyed the careless and unaware. Anyone who used them extensively also knew where to expect enemy ones so took steps to avoid them.
Pick any aspect of the game that someone finds fun, others will find it annoying. That in and of itself is NOT a valid reason to remove that thing.On topic though, thermal sights encourage a reciprocal type of play in that the only way to counter thermals is to use thermals and that makes play boring.
Zavod night map was totally spoilt by campers with thermals.
