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

there are a lot of things that should not be in the game
Feb 1, 2013 6:08 pm GMT
I probably dont see the use because i play hardcore 90% of the time. if you have time to toss that c4 at someone then they deserve to die. besides that engineering is such a great perk to have c4 along with the other 3 traps really dont majority of the people.

Soul_On_Display posted...Yes, it is strong. But since when is removing everything powerful, good? Honestly, people won't be satisfied until we're all using the same gun, perks, and equipment. The C4 being powerful is just a part of what it is. Remove that, and you remove the reason for its existence.
It's not game breaking, so no need to make the whole game grey with political-correctness. Some things in the game are just better than others. It keeps things from feeling like bad re-skins.
this is how i feel

BipBapBam posted...All it takes is one death to a C4 around the corner for me to switch to Flak Jacket. I use it exclusively for my lethal and agree it's stupid OP. You have no chance at all to react to it, it's basically a cooked frag. It's only downside is its low range, and with these maps that rarely matters.
The thing is, its range isn't even that low. It's half the max distance of a grenade which is still ****ing far. Like you said, more than adequate on these maps.
Anyone that disagrees that it's OP is just in denial for some reason. With fast hands it's the most noob, easy to use thing in this game.

It's not overpowered, but it is the best lethal.

Why are people only whining about it now? Even in BO1 and MW3 C4 was extremely potent.

Wasn't refilled with scavenger.

I rmember in MW2 when you couldnt throw the C4 5 feet in front of you, after it used to be so much fun in CoD4...

supercoolisaac posted...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.

I agree 99.9% however only down fall is the increase of trophies being used by campers now. But yah it a godly and by far the best lethal in the game.

__redxiii__ posted...When you want to use logic the tomahawk is the most OP lethal. You can 1 hit kill and recover it without scavenger. NERF!
That's not logic. That's stupid.

At least it's not a camper tool like betties and claymores.
If the camper is not using trophy changes are he has shock charge and C4 set down. They hear the shock charge go off, they set off the C4. Shock charge/C4 has replaced the Claymore and betty for campers now.

What? Overpowered setups are what drive people toward using the same guns and perks. Or haven't you ever played a team where over half of them had PDWs?
C4 has a niche it can fill without having to be totally OP. It doesn't need to be removed, just toned down on the 'instantly detonate after throwing without having to put away your weapon to hit a clacker or anything' aspect.

C4 is best for rushers. But Claymores and Betties are superior if you camp. Grenades and Semtex get the short end. I would say they need a larger blast radius but they had that previously in the series and people complained.

They just have to add a delay to the detonation and it will be balanced. Make double tapping X pull out the detonator similar to pressing LT.
Feb 2, 2013 2:13 am GMT
Lets look at it this way:
Frag Grenades: Semi good, still homing roll towards enemies that are close to them.
Semtex: Better blast radius than frags.
Bouncing Betty: Can be thrown a semi good distance, and the blast radius is somewhat good, though it can be dodged by going prone.
Combat Axe: Can be thrown far and picked back up with or without scavenger, plus the insta-kill it does. Though it doesn't bounce nearly as much as the past iterations of it did.
C4: Can be thrown farther than the bouncing betty, has awesome blast radius, and can be detonated the quickest out of the lethal grenades (not including the axe as it doesn't explode). Throw speed is also pretty fast.
Claymore: Basically a better bouncing betty that focuses the explosion in a semi wide/limited direction.

Pretty darn confident..... I don't want to have to wait till the Microendony XBOXS 4ii comes out another 15 years later....

It is the best when it works. However I've had many times mashing X with no explosion and also have a video in vault where I hit a guy with the c4 then blew it up and it didn't kill him. No flak jacket either.

C4 wouldn't be as dangerous as it is now if there were larger maps.
And Danger Close Semtex spam is honestly more annoying on objective game modes.
