PROBLEM:
You get killed by a gadget, weapon or vehicle.
ACTION NEEDED:
Cryhard on this forum and/or Reddit.
RESULT:
Dice nerfs the gadget, weapon or vehicle that upset you so.
AP mines are fine IMO. Rarely die to them and those that do get me are the ones placed off the beaten track where one tends to let ones guard down ever so slightly.
I never ever run straight in to an ammo/health station without scrutinising the area first and frequently let a blueberry go in first (if available) as a screen (not only for AP mines but tent erecting/tablecloth wearing campers of said resupply areas).
Ap mines are an unpredictable variable therefore limiting one’s ability to think ahead. This is a game that is supposed to be fun, now if you’re a passive player who moves very little I can understand your indifference. But if you are, like most players in this discussion, an active player and move fairly often you would understand that checking the ground and every corner for mines is not something you can realistically do. No one will expect an ap mine in the middle of the road while running away from gunfire. Take away the ohk, let only snipers have them, and make it so you cant place two in the same blast radius.
Dice developer has already confirmed the AP mine was mistakenly buffed last update. We're not asking for a nerf. We're asking for it to be reverted back to what it was.
Research first, post second. They've already said the AP mine buff was an accident and will be fixed. If you had read any of the previous threads on this topic you'd already know that.
They worked fine for me before the accidental buff, it just took two to get a kill on someone at 100% health. They are usually visible (with some exceptions) and most of the folks who die to them are the ones who constantly hold down their sprint key. Slow down and look is the way to avoid dying to AP mines unless someone has really taken the trouble to hide them.
They're the way mines have (almost) always been in BF, they stay in place after you're dead. What logical reason would there be for mines to disappear when you die? DICE did experiment with Claymores disappearing upon death a few games back, but it made no sense so they changed it. Slow down and use you eyes, AP mines will become a rare annoyance.
I certainly am making the most of it before it's nerfed in to uselessness. I'm going to camp with my AP Mines and MMG again like last night - sorry it's causing all sorts of rage - the abuse I get like from you last night makes me feel..... fine
If you want every variable to be predictable play single player mode.
You don’t need to check around every corner for mines, you’ll just get killed by them once in a while (but probably more often by an enemy hiding there), so what?
Battlefield 101: Don’t run down the middle of the road, do things people don’t expect.
A lot of people on this forum seem to want nerfs for weapons they get killed by but don’t use themselves rather than just adapt and deal with it.
whats the difference between claymores in previous titles, or AT mines that ohk vehicles? Pretty sure if you took anyones number of mines placed, to mine kills, the number would not represent a problem. Merely zerges of players who think they are tactical running down a street from flag to flag. Pretty sure I'd run circles around you in any mode, but by all means, nerf the AP so I'll run nade pistols and just tube you and self reupply.
you have an audible indicator, which is the only thing in this game that gives you a warning. Have you tried going prone at audible que? If so, what would you do with longer time? Just run away? How is that responding to anything?
