Summary

  • A Battlefield 4 player shared a clip of them dodging a M18 Claymore hidden behind a corner, only to round another corner and be killed by a second Claymore.
  • Fans are reminded of the importance of checking corners in classic Battlefield entries like Battlefield 4.

A Battlefield 4 clip shows a player being killed by an M18 Claymore after clearing another corner of the explosive. There are many ways for Battlefield 4 gamers to be defeated by their opponents, but one easy mistake to make is failing to check corners.

When it was released, Battlefield 4 saw a mixed response due to some serious bugs and glitches. Since then, these issues have been ironed out, and a bunch of new content has been added to the game. This has caused many long-time fans to eventually praise it as one of the best Battlefield games. With some long-time fans not resonating with Battlefield 2042, some are returning to classic entries like Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield 5. One gamer has discovered a key reason for them to check their corners, a lesson that can be applied to each entry.

Battlefield Considered Adding a Segway Vehicle

A former Battlefield developer confirms that the studio considered adding a Segway vehicle before it was scrapped due to balancing issues.

Reddit user Walrus9000 recently shared a clip in which they're playing a match of Conquest on the fan-favorite Operation Metro Battlefield 4 map. The clip begins with the player approaching a building near the A-flag, seeing wires extending across the door from an M18 Claymore. Without touching these wires, the gamer carefully shoots the explosive with their pistol, which highlights the Claymore with a Flashlight attachment. While the explosion is extremely close to the player, they're unharmed because they used a nearby wall for protection. After blowing up the M18, the player runs through the door safely, but they are almost immediately killed by another Claymore placed on the adjacent stairs.

This Battlefield 4 Clip Is a Reminder to Always Check Corners

As spawning takes a few moments, these Claymores may have been replaced before Walrus9000 was able to return to the A-flag building. Although Claymores are less useful on other maps, Operation Metro provides many corners and dark areas for players to earn kills with the sneaky explosive. The M18 Claymore is a gadget available for Support and Recon kits, and it can be set up in many areas. Players may see the most success by planting the Claymore in corners like in this video, or where it can be easily hidden. Operation Metro is a Battlefield 4 remaster of a classic Battlefield 3 map that has been added to multiple titles in the series. It was part of Battlefield 4's Second Assault DLC which also included the Gulf of Oman, Caspian Border, and Operation Firestorm.

Although EA rarely updates Battlefield 4 since the release of Battlefield 2042, this clip highlights that the servers are still populated. Because it may never see more balance changes, the explosive damage from Claymores may always result in kills like in this video.
