They seem like they would better better than betties in combination with shock charges. By themselves betties seem to be better.

...you do know that you can reaction crouch under betties (on a level surface) and take no damage, right? Not prone. Crouch. If you aren't using Shock Charges with them they're useless

someone can easily see your claymore and use it to blow up the much harder to hit shock charge not if the charge is placed correctly....behind vthe claymore.

They should add folding chair as tacticool equipment, so you could camp with comfort

All that said...betties tend to be more practical. In bad situations I have used betties offensively. Yesterday in SnD I was able to secure a seemingly unwinnable situation against a large number by spamming a planted bomb with charges, betties, and crossbow bolts.
On the one with the boat (I'm terrible with names). I have thrown one up the ladder from the underground area then I threw up a shock and got a double.

If you aren't using Shock Charges with them they're useless If people rush hard it's much more difficult to react and smgs/lightweight are ruling the meta game right now. So they work. Not to mention throwing them around corners, in windows, covering your tracks when chased or just leaving them in heavily trafficked places... Tell my 400 kills and counting they are useless...

Given how well they work offensely when thrown, I would like to see the fuse time increased on betties, myself. For some objective modes, particularly where the objective is elevated (ex. all the hardpoints on Cargo), betties are effectively superior to C4.

I rush with Lightweight and ExCon and I have zero trouble crouching them on reaction.

Crouch alone is good enough to avoid Betty? That's great to know. This means that I don't have to press crouch/prone button extensively and do a dolphin by accident.
Just tap it as soon as I hear the sound.

Does anybody find Flak Jacket to be quite weak? I seem to occasionally die in one grenade/rocket still with it on. But usually in two.

When I play late at night, and the tv has to be turned down low, I don't hear the betties sound or the snap, crackle, pop from shock charges. gosh darn golly gee whiz those things :rage:
So they wanted to try and eliminate some tactical loitering from this game, but you can have these new shock charges, and betties or claymores? Then girly man sets up behind them, goes prone, and ADS's all day long? Plus some of these maps are a campers dream...it all adds up to people playing COD like sissies yet again. OP, not trying to describe your play style (I hope). But reading this thread just makes me think of the things I despise about this game. Still doesn't quite focus on the shooter part of FPS.

it annoys the piss outta me in this game, primarily because they're difficult to hear. At least in MW3 they were loud enough to give fair warning.

I don't use grenades because bullets = win, I spam betties like you wouldn't believe and they get me shit loads of kills. It's hilarious, people scream obscenities when they die.

I hate the bettys, some guy was literally running around with danger close, fast hands and scavenger using the bloody things as an offensive loadout! You didn't even see them throw the things, they just happened to land right in front of you all the damn time!

Because the bad players will always get some kinda crutch in a COD game (despite the devs saying things every year about more gun on gun, less tactical loitering, more competition, F you last stand, blah blah blah bs). It's the main reason why this game is the most popular on-line shooter. Everyone deserves to have "fun"!

Player with bad aim and slow reflexes "locks down" a room with his crutch nade load out while he headglitch camps ads'ing at a high traffic area. Never seen that one before?

Wrong. Bad players win all off the time. I'm not bad if my shotgun doesn't kill. Etc. etc.

So the game is only made for people with great reflexes or people who can wiggle their thumbs with a little more precision than someone else? You act like you actually have some sort of talent or skill if you can wiggle your thumbs better than someone else. Trust me, it doesn't make you special or cool. Playing tactically and utilizing all the tools available to you is being a bad player? Oh wait, only running around like a complete retard ( the most UNREALISTIC thing you can do in a game like this) is the only legitimate strategy? If every room didn't follow the mw3 standard of having 3-4 entrances you wouldn't need this. If you could actually hear someone with 80 lbs of equipment sprinting across a creaky wooden floor behind you, then you wouldn't need replenishing betties....
