I have noticed this a lot lately and its really annoying. you put a claymore to help protect you from having someone come up behind you, but when someone does, it doesn't kill them.

I was looking out a window with my claymore couple spaces back from the top of to the stairs, someone came up the stairs, it blew up and he shot me. Even with my exploding claymore directly infront of him, less than a meter away.

its like this video, but without the jumping



does this happen a lot to other people??

He could have had Flak Jacket, it wont have killed him. If not he probably just jumped right before it exploded, meaning there was just enough damage so as not to kill him.
I dunno. I find when people have Hacker Pro they're always walking past my claymores though, even though they cant have hacked it because it was facing them? I guess they can just stun it but I dont see any signs of that in the killcam, its pretty annoying.

it's facing the wrong way.
place it down the direction you want it to blow up ^_^.
or you could stop camping so you don't have to rely on claymores.

With lightweight people can pretty much run past claymores and only take a small amount of damage. That's what always happens to me :\

he didnt have flak jacket. you know what first perk they use by the look of the character and i think this guy has the lightweight perk like shadoh said. the guy that walked in noticed the claymore (while sprinting with lightweight so he is movin pretty fast) then jumped at the last minute so not as much "debris" hit him. my advice: go play hardcore

When you run through the 1st part of the claymore and dont stop running.. you wont get killed and maybe just a tiny bit hurt :smile:

Claymores need to be placed a certain way in order for them to work........
You can't place them like that because it does not go off in time Winky Winky

Art to placing claymores......MW2 was the same

Sometimes i place them like that not to kill people but to give me a idea where people are.
