As much as I love it, the C4 should not be in this game.

Anyone who uses it should agree as well. It's hands down the best lethal explosive in the game. Chances are if you disagree then you aren't using it properly. Refilled by scavenger. Fast throw time. Can be instantly blown up in mid-air by double tapping X. Stupid good range. Biggest explosive kill radius. Can also be laid down as a trap. Fast hands + C4 is LOL worthy.
If you disagree and would like to make a case for it being balanced, be my guest. Go ahead and try.

it's fun to use. I enjoy using it.
At least it's not a camper tool like betties and claymores.

Yeah. C4 = neutered. Also, trophy system.
However! I'm seriously shocked by how few people run FJ in Hardpoint. I made a Remington, C4, Scav, Fast Hands, Danger Close class today for Hijacked. It was STUPID effective.

I beg to differ. Many who camp to kill people at medium range use it when someone gets close to them most of the time around a corner/over a wall. Overall I see it used defensively more than offensively.

This. Nothing like detonating a c4 in someone's face only for it to do no more than tickle them. Even worse is when they manage to kill you and walk away like nothing happened.

I have fun using it. I recently started drifting away from perk: toughness and using scavenger. I run C4 and 1 EMP nade. I will admit when others use C4 on me I get a bit annoyed but I rock FJ most of the time so its all good.
I'm also that d*** that throws C4 around the corner at you when I have a VSAT up. Just for good measure I hate getting JVEL'd
so C4 should stay in this game, love you babe.

I'd rather just bring my gun up and shoot someone

Literally one of the dumbest arguments is saying something's balanced simply because there's something else in the game that counters it.
That's like saying that if stun grenades stunned non tac mask users for 20 seconds that it'd be balanced because they should be using tac mask if they didn't want to be stunned so much.

I just hate the inconsistency of the c4's explosion. Some people phase through the explosion point blank and no I'm not talking about them getting hit and surviving.

Don't let it hit the ground. Sometimes it glitches into the ground and does zero damage.

As much as I love using it on my Assault shield class, I must admit it is a bit overpowered.

It's not OP because if it really gives you that hard of a time just counter it. I do the same against UAVs and EMPs: if they ever give me a hard time, I just throw on my Ghost and Hardwired class and it gets better. It doesn't dominate games and if there's ever a game where there is lots of C4 it usually passes by the next game or lobby. It's a powerful equipment but it can be easily countered with a bit of strategy.
If you are too stubborn to give in and switch to Flak Jacket because you are constantly getting killed by C4 then you should expect to keep getting killed by it. Try and take a moment and change up your strategy

I don't. I detonate the c4 midair.

I think you meant to post this on the COD4 board. C4 has always been OP.

So TC gets owned my C4 and cries about it on gamefaqs?
Ok

Did you read the OP? He's not talking about being killed by it, just how OP it is.
Feb 1, 2013 3:04 pm GMT
Its useless as an equip option like in BO1 and CoD4, but OP (meh) as a one-touch option in this game and apparently MW3. C4 just can't win.
