EDIT: On second thought, I'm not entirely sure if the OMA Replenish part is actually a glitch, exploit, or intentional part of the game.

Alright, you're probably thinking "Why use an extra claymore?" and that's because with so many things that can outdo a lone claymore, there's going to have to be reinforcement. So here's what you do.

You will need Claymores unlocked (Hur dur) and C4 unlocked as well as One Man Army.

What you're doing is basically making a claymore have a much higher success rate because of so many countermeasures (Stunnable claymores, Scrambler Pro, you know) being in the game now.

First, you're going to need two classes: One with a claymore and one with a C4, both with One Man Army.

What you do is plant the claymore obviously, but to the side of the doorway.

Use OMA to switch to your C4 class. The Claymore will remain, don't worry. Throw a C4 against the wall the Claymore is facing.

Use OMA again to replenish your C4, then throw one behind the claymore but within range of the C4 on the wall. This eliminates the blindspot most people hide behind if they get behind the claymore fast enough.

Make sure to make your C4 class have your main weapon as you have to stick with that class. Switching to another class will eliminate the ability to do the other plus of the claymore trap.

If you see a guy enter with Scrambler Pro, you can manually detonate the trap with the C4 trigger. Last I checked, two C4s plus a Claymore is not very survivable even with Painkiller or on a private match.

Unfortunately, there are no countermeasures that I can think of to counteract SitRep, which lets people across the map see your trap. The only thing I can recommend is to set the trap behind a dense surface and ensure that that is the only possible point of entry.

One other major plus of the trap is that you can rebuild it using the OMA glitch, although it takes a little while, about 30 seconds which is longer than desirable under high-pressure circumstances.

And in case the trap isn't easy to visualize, here is a diagram showcasing my amazing photoshop abilities (not)



I've been using this a ton lately and is very adaptable for any good sniping map. Sometimes just a normal claymore will cut it, yes, but sometimes I just feel creative. Might be useless, might be helpful, your call so try it sometime on Underpass or something.

Good trap, something I always wanted to do in CoD 4. Then I figured out how, and it works in MW2:

It's much quicker to co-ordinate with a team mate. If you both have Scavenger equipped, you can enter a room with two entrances, kill a couple of guys, set the trap on one door, resupply, set the trap on other door... Take up position or move on

I dont bother with C4 but I do like to set up multiple claymores with scavenger when I can - i've left 7 in the large bunker on Afghan before and retired to watch from the nose cone of the plane - jayzuz christ that made some noise when they all went off

You can only have 2 claymores at once.

Damn right, If you plant 2 then one more the first one will blow up. I was on Derail planting claymores at this one entrance and after a planted 2 near each other I planted another and my trap exploded and killed me

Actually, I'm not sure if it's a glitch but it's kinda cheap...

The whole "replenish your C4s and Claymores" thing and having an infinite access to them.

well that's weird because i'm not making this up

i'll have to try again

although saying that I was playing a TDM a few days ago and someone was in the lobby saying that they had walked up to an enemy tactical insertion and instead of it saying "destroy tactical insertion" it said "pick up tactical insertion" but he couldnt pick it up or destroy it so he put a claymore by it and left it

so nothing surprises me in this game anymore

If you try to plant more than 2 claymore using ones you got with scavenger the third will kill you when trying to plant.

^^^^^ just yesterday i planted 3 claymores during a game using scavenger. a week ago i planted at least 4 in afghan during a game also using scavenger. i always use scavenger with sniper class specifically to be able to plant multiple claymores. no sure if i makes a difference but i was playing groun war.

fenny

Yeah but thats the whole point of OMA changing your class and replemishin ammo.

I have to classes exactly the same except for 1 has hardline and one has stoppin power, u use the stopping power to get to 7 kills call out harrier and swap to hardline, harrier/you now only needs 3 kills for chopper gunner.


Camp at a sniper spot with a grenade launcher OMA to replemish ammo and use grenade launchers again, combine that with danger close and sit rep pro/ninja and claymores. With OMA pro changing ur class is the same time it takes to reload ur launcher so the enemy is like wtf


OMA for snipers and campers
Scavenger for the rest

Interesting tactic, but that would be good for an overall OMA discussion topic. This thread has to do with a little strategy I thought of that utilizes the OMA Replenish tactic.
No, the first one you planted will asplode, probably killing you if you happen to be in range.

Same goes for claymores acquired through OMA and also C4s, which is why I didn't suggest to flood the place with C4 to do the trap.

FWIW, you can switch to a different class and still be able to manually detonate the C4. For PS3, just double tap the square button and all C4 packs on the map will detonate.

One of them probably got blown up, you can only have two with Scavenger or OMA.

I have also placed more than 2 claymore mines while using the Scavenger perk. I also have tried to litter the upstairs portion of the house on "Estate" with Claymore's, and have had one of them blow up on me. What I figured out is that the laser triggers on your claymore mine will set each other off if they touch each other. So basically if the laser triggers touch each other, or any other part of the opposite claymore, then your going to have an explosive situation.

However if they are placed in different areas, you'll be just fine, i have had as many as 8 Claymore's using scavenger on Skidrow.

Gonna try that OMA trick

ToomsYF

that sounds like a glitch to me i'm pretty sure you're not supposed to have more than 2 claymores on the ground at any one time.

No, you're not supposed to have more than 2. So yeah, it probably is a glitch.

Then after you plant your claymore then plant your c4's *cut* your now watching the killcam of your killer....

Twitchy_gun

i dont think you have to manually detonate the c4? because they claymore's explosion ( considering they don't have scrambler pro ) should detonate the c4.

oneinchwunda

oh shit really !?!?!?!?!

No i'v put more you just have to make sure the lasers don't cross otherwise they will blow up

Clutch

Just put a claymore on one side of the door and a c4 on the other, then repeat this near another doorway and you're good to go, your claymore explosion will set of the c4, guaranteeing you a kill. You can also OM
