Should the S-Mine (Bouncing Betty) be removed?

[Zimbabwe Fetus Defusal]

These things are in every single match and i feel like they are unfair. They are bright green so you can see them but if you dont have really good graphic settings they just look like another peice of rubbel. I spawn, walk 5 feet, and get killed by a mine. I just feel like they arn't fun to play against and take no skill to use. I think i have died from mines more than any other weapon in the entire game.

Yea let’s remove mines, genades, shotguns, throwing knives, shovels etc I know let’s all just have wands. It’s part of the game. It’s like neffi g weapons all that does is buff other weapon. Learn to play with the tools available.

IKR? I was gonna say something like that too.

Just prone - problem solved. Timed frags or C4 is way worse, no way to avoid death if u dont have perk/armored division.

All part of the game and can be effective in defence of the flag in dom, also provide defence of your self while you capture a flag, stop people running through choke points, stop people trying to spawn camp. Yep don't take skill to place one just knowledge of where it can take full advantage.

Also there is a Get 200 explosive kills challenge at the moment.

These op threads are funny, if its so good and easy to use then use it.

I do use it. I use it because i play mainly free-for-all where there is no better option. I just dont want to be punished for walking in the "wrong area."

im just saying the mine isnt fun to play against. You can run from a grenade and dodge a shotgun but unless you use up your perk slot going near a mine equals game over.

You cant run from properly timed frag. In fact, u will be dead before u can see grenade marker. Also dodging shotgun? This isnt matrix, u cant dodge hitscan weapons...

No Bettys?!?! What will the campers do to protect their nests lol??

I run Airborne/Flanker to rush through them.

I have personally ran from grenades multiple times. I have been killed by a grenade about 3 or 4 times and been killed by S-Mines at least 200 times. Also, if you strafe well enough you can dodge a shotgun in time to be able to shoot him.

ah maybe in core you can survive. in hc even if you lay down its instadeath

You need Flanker if you find you have a lot of times where you get killed by those... Then, once the noob in your lobby doing it gets bored and leaves and you notice no more betties, you can just switch to a preferred class with a preferred basic training.

They won't be removed, that's what flanker is for. CoD "usually, but not always" has a counter for everything. Your job is to counter things, not complain about them because that's the point of people having choice: You force you out of comfort play and into counter play.

I dont feel like i have to waist a perk slot just because everyone places down betties

Counter for S-Mine: Instincts
It literally gives you wallhacks for grenades.
or that other one that delays the explosion.
Also you can just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crouch to not die

Cuz it wasnt timed frag or C4(which doesnt even have onscreen marker). Well timed frag can kill you easily without any chance to "run from it". And u CANT dodge hitscan weapons. Theres nothing like "shotgun in time to be able to shoot", its just aim and pull the trigger (well, with shotgun u dont even needs to aim that much). But go ahead and wow your friends that u r so great u can dodge hitscan weapons, they might believe you.
