C4(boomers) and sticking it onto vehicls/MAX

Braveliltoaster · 2012-07-09, 08:30 AM

Has it been confirmed/denied that you can place c4 AKA boomers on vehicles? Will we be able to have squads of people doing jihad runs in their atv? or better yet boomer up a MAX have him run into a group of enemies at a choke point and boomer his corpse?

for me I have mixed feelings about the subject, sure it would be a lot of fun to do that but I can see it being abused.

Yes, you will also be able to attach them to players.

People will find a way to abuse just about any game mechanic out there. The trick will be preventing as much abuse as possible.

In regards to this, I'm somewhat interested to see what everyone comes up with usage wise.

Not so sure attaching C4 to a friendly MAX or ATV and just throwing it at the bad guys is too bad an idea. I imagine the C4 goes defunct wants the person/vehicle is dead/destroyed. I mean, if I had the chance, I'd rather roll an ATV strapped with explosives into a room I suspect is full of bad guys as opposed to going in myself. Valid tactic is valid. Smart soldiers get resourceful.

sticky bomb on enemy is going to be so full of win. just attach and wait til they run back to their squad lmao and boooooomski

i can't imagine some of the winning youtube vids we will get because of this hehe. this will definitely outclass even bf3 vids.

Really hope this Will work, love going jihad in BF3!
Hopefully we'll be able to jump onto slow moving galaxies and blow them to hell and beyond

as higby explained it, i think you currently can attach them to friendly vehicles, but not friendly players. but they will stick to enemy players (and vehicles).

lol to players would take some serious finesse

I hope it will make it into the game
nothing like a good 'ol jihad

putting it on friendly players would work, maybe an nc only thing would add some flavor to their cause?

You need to be able to shoot enemy C4 to detonate it. That way if someone's charging you with an ATV full of C4 you can get a lucky shot off and blow him up.

Same goes for allies who are carrying enemy C4 on them.

Players would get boomers under players all the time, mostly snipers, AMS's or TR locked down maxes. There just still better be that distinctive sound and a slight delay before you can trigger again.

You could "destroy" mines safe in PS1, but would be way more interesting if they blew up this time when you shot them, along with only taking 1 bullet/laser.

PoisonTaco · 2012-07-09, 01:43 PM

Since grenades cost resources, I'm willing to bet that C4 will too. So spawning a vehicle and throwing C4 over it to just get a couple kills or laughs probably isn't very cost effective.

I can see it now...

Bob: Steve, hold still.
Steve: Umm, why?
Bob: Making you a suicide vest.
Steve:Greeeattttt. This is NOT going to end well.
Bob: OK, go!
*soon as Steve opens door*
Zergling #1: OMG, COMMIES AT THE DOOR. KILL THEM!
*Proceeds to spam door, before Steve gets out*
*Steve blows up, killing everyone camping the door*
Steve: That n00b just killed me!

suicide c4 would be cheap kills but i'm not gonna lie some of the most entertaining kills are c4/boomer style.
