Default Claymores not detonating?

I don't know if this is a hack, glitch, or lag, but it's happened to me twice now where a person using steady aim slowly walked right over my claymore and it doesn't even go off. I watched it happen twice in killcams after the person casually walked right through my claymore and killed me.

Wtf is this?

Haven't had this happen but i was watching my brother play the other day on bailout and he set a claymore and started killing guys then got killed. We watched the cam and the claymore was gone, or it would've killed the guy who killed him. I don't think it blew up cause we would've heard that so i think the game glitched and it just disappeared.

stuns and flashes delay claymores so that might have been it

On the other hand I had a claymore detonate through a wall and kill me when I wasn't near it... but I'd say your clay was probably stunned

No it wasn't stunned. I can tell when it's stunned because sparks fly out of it.

I read somewhere that if you get lucky enough to avoid the 2 laser triggers and walk between them the claymore won't detonate even if you step over it and go behind.

Sometimes the claymore will still be stunned for second or two after the sparks stop.

I guess that's possible but I don't remember hearing or seeing it get stunned at all. The claymore was close to me and I would have known if it had gotten stunned.

I dunno, sometimes I get pissed when I use them, If people are quick around a corner or move in the right place immediately sometimes they can slip past it. Kind of annoying but it can happen.

I believe you can walk through claymores VERY slowly.

I know that if you plant a claymore with someone already in the activation area, they have to move A LOT to set it off.

Yes the whole detection/damage is kind of odd. Keep in mind there is about a .75 second delay from the time it's triggered to the time it detonates.

He wasn't moving very slowly at all, just walking normally. And my claymore had been there for at least 20 seconds.

Wow. Same thing happened to me twice in the match today on Rundown. I watched their killcam and they just walk right past it and knife me. I feel your pain.

Never had this happen to me before... must be some sort of glitch that they found out about or something.

I had that happen to me twice last night, I heard footsteps and I was just waiting for my free kill, I hear the 'click' and nothing, nothing, nothing, I stepped out from where I was and killed him, the claymore didn't go off.

Hey, at least you got the kill despite your malfunctioning claymore.

Thats what all you nubs get for giving the claymore supplier contract to the lowest bidder, faulty claymores. Probably some stereotypical Chinese company.

Yeah, I was getting Ninja Pro Tac Knife'd the shit out of while playing Rundown. Made me want to give up on clays altogether.
