AT Mines - get an engineer to disable them.

Claymores - the medic you have in the squad you are operating with runs up and revives you. They are only effective in weeding out lone wolves and squads who are not properly spread out.

Fixed it for ya.

Rick, they were all medics. I doubled up claymores at the entrances, or dropped a fresh one down on the body so the reviving medic would get blown up.

I was a true whore.

My issue is when people have their 3d icons turned off. If you don't see the skull, your problem.

I hate when someone announces on VOIP that they have laid down a claymore a split second after I've been blown up by it.

Please, for the sake of your squad, announce where your going to put a claymore before you put it down. Thanks.

When you are trying to defend a flag and you see snipers up on the roof defending it, you just go on your own to try to clear them out, you won't necessarily say, "Medic, come with me, I'm about to be blown up by a claymore!"

I had an idea Greasy...how about in the next update you give different colors to different sides of the claymores. This way, friendly players would know which side to run on when passing claymores...just a thought...maybe orange for the good side, blue for the bad side...

If your squad's medic can't get to you in time to revive you before you respawn, I would say that you were operating too far away from the rest of your squad and therefore deserve to die by the claymore. Actually, I would even go so far to say that if you know there are snipers up on the roof defending a flag, then you probably know there is a high probability that there is a claymore at or around the ladder or stairwell leading up to the roof, so not having a medic standing by as you attempt to take the sniper out is probably a bit short-sighted, and asking to be killed by a claymore. Which, there's nothing wrong with that... I'm just saying that the only reason claymores are effective are because there are too many people running around outside the range of a squad/team medic, or worse yet, squads without medics in them.

Excellent point Rick. Generally speaking, this seems to apply to newer players on the server who are getting used to true squad play and the SL has us in a defensive position. I play Medic most often as kits go. It doesn't matter how you got killed, if you are running around far beyond the perimeter the SL set up, then I am not coming out there to save you when I have 4 other people counting on me just meters away. The only reason I would go out there on a sniper-hunt as delphi00 described would be if the SL directed a fireteam to take care of it.
