First, your comment on EMPs not earning you points is not a healthy attitude to take on the Tactical Gamer server. Earning points should be secondary to team victory, and the next time a vehicle starts kicking your squad's ass, you don't want to be the one shooting RDX at it while someone better equipped to deal with it is waiting for an EMP stunlock. Please refer to Waffle's informative video on more effective EMP throwing.

Secondly, the sentry gun is a good piece of equipment. It can be applied in many situations on offense or defense effectively, and it provides enemy spottings when it recognizes a foe, potentially saving your squad from getting ambushed. The RDX gun relies on very specific situations, and when there are other, more versatile options available in the support kit, it becomes very hard to justify its use.

Finally, grenades are more effective. They have the same fuse delay, they deal more damage, have a greater blast radius, and will go right where you throw them.

Much truth here. The only time I'd not take EMP nades would be on vehicle light/infantry heavy maps. I've gone entire matches never seeing the enemy APC on Berlin because the engineers are so quick to blow it as it turns a corner. Then again, on infantry heavy maps I'm taking the IDS because the extra situational awareness is awesome. Usual loadout would be IDS/Sentry or EMP/Sentry. But hell, sometimes you just want to play around and have a laugh so IDS/Clark RDX is fun. Its even more amusing when you pick up a SM's kit to revive and you hear "HEY! Who brought the Clark RDX?!?" over VOIP.
