I kept trying to get into that game, and I was in for a while before you left. I got a couple of those ribbons too. It is a very good setup, surprisingly so.
I later played S&D only game too, and those also work very well.
Any tips on using C4? I cant for the life of me get more than 1-2 kills per round.

Going back to single player is much easier after training in Multiplayer clusterfucks.
You no longer get rattled when an ugly situation presents itself. You immediately think about extrication, cover, and if possible chucking a grenade.

Cluster two or three together in one spot. Avoid places that get showered with grenades (or rockets) frequently, any nearby explosion will set off the C4 and it'll be wasted. Use back-alleys, routes you yourself would use to sneak up and flank unnoticed. If you have to place them in the line to an objective, try placing them behind the corner, not in front (e.g. in Radec S&R, place them inside the room with the propaganda receptacle, and not in the room people race through to get there).AndyD said:
Also try placing them not on the floor, but roughly head high on walls or in door frames.
Favourite spots for C4 are the corners on the upper-level balcony on Radec Academy, the narrow, long back-alleys on Salamun Market, and the side of the column in the central room on Tharsis Depot.
You can also just lob them into a cluster of enemies. It can be abused to work similar to a grenade, but it'll take longer to detonate, so you'll most likely be down first.
Also note that you can actually throw them from ground level up onto the first floor. E.g. if you play ISA S&D defence on Radec Academy, you can lob C4 from the ground level near the spawn point up and through the breach in the wall near the objectives.

Learn the maps and how people run through them. Each map has some hot spots that will generate a high number of kills. Like, check out corinth crossing...
Where I placed the two yellow dots - C4 there, leading up to your opponents spawn, is always good for easy c4 kills, as people just run through there without looking and it kinda blends in with the metal ground. That's an easy/obvious one, but each map has such hot spots.
Wow, thank everyone for the tips. A second follow up question, is it one C4 is a kill? or two?
I have been planting them in the same traffic areas I would hide in as a sabo to pick enemies off as they run by, which include some of the spots mentioned.
Also, for clustering, one set off then sets off the rest correct?
I have been placing them as a gauntlet in a corridor, walk into the first, get hit, then walk into the second... and it seems to work. But it seems to take 2 or all 3 to get a kill.

Yeah, takes two to kill (unless the target is already down on health) and a freshly hatched assault can withstand three and still live.AndyD said:
Maybe you put them too far out of the way. You have to balance your placement in such a way that people will actually trigger them. If your C4 packs just sit in the most awesome hiding spot on the map for an entire match, you gain nothing.

You're not the only one.ilanna said:
I never use Sab class though, always either Eng/Tact/Medic/Scout (mostly eng or scout) with C4s.
Did I mention how much I dislike the shotgun? never really liked em in MGO either. And I'm still getting used to aiming in FPS. Wish Tact/Eng could use LMG
FabCam said:Can anyone help me out. I just unlocked the sab class (with spawn nades). Every time I throw a spawn 'nade it just disappears instead of throwing up the smoke. Help plz?
You mean tactician?
And huh, dunno what happens if you'rfe really talking about the tactician spawn nades

I played a EUR server like this last night. It was pretty epic but also extremely exhausting ...especially when I kept falling asleep as it was like 4am.
Still got Capt. out if though!

Do you play with the Alternate 2 controls? The ONLY thing controls-wise that has changed with the last patch (1.21) is that the game no longer helps you aim when you zoom in (L1 in the Alt 2 config) - previously, if your crosshair was near enough to an enemy, pressing L1 would nudge it over your target, but now, you have to do it yourself (still works in Campaign mode, however). NOTHING else has changed with the controls in the last patch!

This is a pretty sad question but I haven't been home to really check out the new update.
I am assuming this new voice chat system works from the xmb. If thats the case are you telling me we can finally keep talking to our team throughout the menus without having to wait till we get in the game?
If thats true holy fu#$ all we need is a xmb party system and I will be one happy man.

Yep. It takes away like 5/6 (weird fraction lol) of your health though.. Which doesn't leave you for much.
