Sticky Detonator Tactics

I was just listening to this video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijlfoKoNRmA&feature=g-all-lik

And it explained some extremely useful information on the Sticky Detonator.

For instance:

You can launch the grenade, switch weapons and fight someone, then switch back to the detonator and detonate the grenade later on.

Now think for a second about how this would work with a very aware player, you could literally cut off certain paths to the enemy for long periods of time. Or if, say, you need to scare an enemy out of cover (as you normally would with a grenade), you launch the explosive, switch to your primary weapon and engage him, then when he tries to back into cover again (As he normally would after your grenade exploded), just detonate it.

This thing is like an Uber grenade if you think about it, you can use it in any situation you would use a Frag or Sticky, but it would be much more effective than either of them.

I like it.

SO IT IS LIKE C4!!!
YESSSSS!!!

It also has a mini motion tracker on the side, sit and watch it untill you see a little dot come closer to the center, I see a lot of camping happening with this.

The more gameplay I see of it, the more I start to love it.

Also, I am top comment in that video lol

Gonna be great to have a crate of those in infection, be all like
“Seal the blast doors!”
phomp phomp phomp phomp
“No one’s getting through this door…alive.”

Or load up a mongoose with all your team’s detonators, then drive it into their base or tank XD

A great way to take down a mantis by the sounds of it.

gunna be my favorite power weapon can’t wait to use it . do you think it could be good in CQC? like if some one is rushing at you or something and you just stick him right there. its gunna be epic. and i also like the SD on a mongoose idea. you would probably have to be on the rear though and you friend would have to blow up with the grenade.

it beeps and glows, any good player will see it a mile away, plus it shows up on PV

and I doubt it will cut off a path, it can be shot to make it explode, and i bet a nearby nade will make it explode too

I doubt it will be as great as the grenade launcher, but im hopeful it is

you should not compare it to the GL it is its own weapon

I think it would be fun to sticky the opponent’s flag carrier and then wait until he gets in a vehicle before pulling the trigger. :slight_smile:

that would be awesome! easy triple kill right there

Drop a regen field, then plant a bomb. Watch as enemy runs in to make a quick recharge.

Pull trigger. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh the possibilities! Stick a banshee cockpit, run away.

Later, see that banshee flying in the sky?
detonate

You can stick opponents, like with a plasma grenade, correct?

Yes. Then watch as he bunches up with friends on the little screen on the gun. >:)

Wonderful. :smiley:

All I know is that Geoff is going to be curing cancer day in and day out because of this weapon.

Mmmm, I see the fun in this thing, but as an avid Grenade launcher user, they cannot be compared so easily. Particularly due to the Grenade Launcher being far less forgiving. I am of the opinion they should bring it back, side by side:)
