SledgeHammer Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Why is there such a delay with the remote c4. Shouldn't it be detonating right when the detonation button is pushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff Luhrian Posted June 10, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 10, 2017 If you push the detonation bottom immediately after you throwed it, it will exploed in front of your head and you'll kill yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madkill40 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The quick Remote C4 detonation upon toss was once a tactic used by drunks and hookers to blow you at the first sign of trouble when dressed as an engineer, this made their enemies fall to their knees too easily and was deemed unfair so a delay was added to nerf their effectiveness.

UFO Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Make Engineers great again! That was a lot of fun (and too much trouble for enemy infantry). Edited June 21, 2017 by UFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkill40 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 People would also kill themselves just so you didn't get a kill, poor sportsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards no veterancy, points or cash to your enemy. If things look hopeless I will still blow myself up with a hotwire rather than let someone kill me if I can help it (preferably with my c4's also damaging a building). In recent builds though, this still awards a kill to the last person to inflict damage on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching yourself by damaging a building or a vehicle is at least plausible, sometimes there is no way around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Luhrian Posted June 30, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think the little delay is also good for the defenders if an APC rush is going on. It gives them a little bit of important time to kill the techs before the can blow up their remotes. Happend me too often. One of the biggest "fuck-my-ass-moments" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
