I am assuming. Otherwise how else could you do it?

I'm pretty sure it's gonna get destroyed by shooting it and by explosions.

It's mechanical so assumedly would be able to be destroyed multiple ways including melee bullets and explosives. I'd find it hard to believe that it would be melee only.
Shooting would be too OP.
I guess explosive works, since it's limited to Ash and grenades.

Yep. I generally really like all the maps except maybe the biker bar one and sometimes canal.

I feel like shooting would be included. I see it as a relatively hard to spot defensive option given the right map and smart placement it won't matter how it can be destroyed cause by the time you see it it'll be too late. I mean since its mechanical it already limits spotting options preemptively at least so if frost waits until after the initial timer and then starts placing them you could wipe out a few players with no effort and very little options for the other team to resort to against it.

That trap is more to take away windows than doorways I'd imagine.
Like all gadgets, it's meant to give attackers another thing to think about, not necessarily generate kills. Though kills are great when they happen, but none of the gadgets should be easy kills. That's why Kap-traps are actually really well balanced as they are. Slow down attackers, punish hastiness, occasionally get kills that can heavily impact the momentum of a round or match.
Shooting traps isn't OP. Imo it fits well in the meta.
Shooting gives your position away, meaning the trap just did one of it's jobs.
I guess, the window theory makes sense as well.
Positioning doesn't really mean much on most maps I feel. So many rooms and hallways and windows, by the time you figured out exactly where the shot came from, they could be on the other side of the map.

You'd need Ash.
I bet you can shoot them though.
Was hoping it'd look like an actual bear trap.
I bet she only gets two.

Shooting should be okay if you have to hit a specific trigger on the trap, not just the entire trap itself.
Super pumped about Jtf2, easily the best tac team in the world. A friend said no one was even aware they existed until it was leaked to the media or something along those lines. Also, they don't have a single reported casualty, and when some Admiral was asked if he could command any tac team in the world, he said Jtf2.
Edit: Only one casualty has been reported.
Also, they were deployed at the Vancouver Olympics and the G8/G20 summits to secure surrounding areas.

best thing in the new update
Great!
Well we always need Dat Ash!
Like they said looks like three. I cannot wait until I trap somebody with it, just sounds like such a satisfying trap.
Kinda ridiculous though, what CTU would use a bear trap to defend anything haha.

In general I think frost will be great I'm more intrigued by buck. What is skeleton key gonna look like in game, how strong, how many uses etc. At this point I'd be hard pressed to commit to using him myself but I'll certainly be interested in seeing how it plays out.
They have had 1 death that has been confirmed (I am sure they had more, especially in Afghanistan) http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/secret-ramp-ceremony-for-canadian-soldier-who-died-in-fall-1.671828
Regardless, everyone that plays Siege knows that GSG9 is the best because they wear jeans and wear cool shoes.

I have played just about every day from release for I would say at least two hours and I still can only afford one of the new operators. I'm gonna have to wait and see how things shake out for who to get.

Gsg definitely seems like the most unprofessional looking group but the gadgets are not to be messed with. It's like they all took training got good and were like fuck uniforms I got these nice jeans instead.

as someone who plays kapkan as much as I can, im just full switching to frost
Hell ya, Blitz and Jager are the best. I wish I could use IQ more, maybe she'll get a buff. But I'll definitely insta-pick Jtf2 when they release.
That's what I like about them, their personality.

Highly unlikely. It will absolutely be destroyed like any other item in game, minus EMPs and possibly Twitch drone.
It would make very little sense to be able to melee but not shoot bear traps.
Anyways, it seems highly dangerous, without Kapkan's vulnerabilities, and seemingly easier to hide (I wonder if you can place them anywhere, as opposed to under entrances).
Sure, it doesn't instantly kill you, but it seems it avoids Kapkan's obvious anchor and red light, which pretty much is useless on windows, and obvious on doors to any player who knows what to look for. Combine both together, and attackers should be slowed down considerably

This reminds me I was playing a hostage game saturday and some guy picks fuze. I'm on my knees hoping and praying at this point. We both rappel up to the hostage room window and he puts the cluster into the wall. At this point I'm just pleading. Don't you dare press that button, don't you do it. I hear the click and then the longest 3 seconds of my life just waiting until boom. Round Loss. Fuck.

If Nitro Cells could be reliably placed on chokepoints (no beeping and flashing), and if Kapkan traps were harder to spot (no anchor or reduced red light), IQ would be a must.
No one places nitro cells on chokepoints anymore because it's incredibly obvious. So people hold on to them and use them as mini-grenades, especially against Shields.
If Nitro Cells werent so obvious, IQ would be fantastic, especially with Thatcher. Right now, Thatcher spams his EMPs on the objective and destroys Mute, Bandit, and Jager.
If traps like Kapkan and Nitro Cells were placed around the map, it would improve classes like Twitch, Thatcher, and IQ and would require more communication and teamwork to approach an objective.
I think IQ should be able to also mark lethals like Nitro and Kapkan too. But with Kapkan and Nitro Cell, you simply dont need IQ because of how obvious they are.

Yeah I think they should open up Kapkan's placements. Let me get inventive like I can with, say, Smoke's grenades.

you should have shot him.
Or shoot the charge, it will disable it.

Only three entry points for the new map...

To which I've done, and promptly shot down by others and kicked.
Not if I insta-pick her!
I love how you can hover the mouse over the place where you'd eventually click to pick the operator.

Wonder how many times you'll get teamkilled for picking someone's operator.

Available for all tomorrow
As far as I know everybody gets the map. Season holders get operators early. That's it. Aside from skins and xp boosts, but I don't care about that shit. I put way too much time into this game I'll get the reknown needed for the new operators when the next drop comes around April.
I had the fishiest fucking game I've ever seen. I'm livid.
One guy is insta headshotting even without any knowledge and penetrating even without murder holes. Next I shoot someone, they teleport and get revived, and lose the round because someone who I hit with a full mag with an AUG and pistol is invincible.
Fuck this shit.

I dunno, I'll report back tomorrow
.What do you know about skins, will season pass owners get some more free ones? Or will they be cheaper than usual? I remember reading something about the latter.
Or are you just referring to the Safari pack?
The traps actually blend in really well on the floor in Yacht. Shooting them wouldn't be too OP.

Words of a dead man. Positioning is very important, it goes hand in hand with the audio. I've never played a mp game where audio was so important. You'll hear your enemies long before you see them 8/10 times.
This just doesn't seem right. I've been playing since day 1 almost everyday a few hours a day with a week break over the new year and I've bought every operator and most/all attachments as well as a shitload of skins and still have 60k renown.
Fuck fucking with those people. There are so many incredibly talented warriors across the different Special Forces of the world it's impressive and so bad ass.
Kinda getting the feeling like nothing is coming tomorrow. Ubisoft has still said nothing official about it. Whats the deal here?
Would it really be that hard to update the forums saying that 2.0 is coming tomorrow details will be released shortly before the patch.
Obviously they have the artwork and some marketing images ready to go...

The French Ubi site has pics of the new map on their page.
I agree, the silence is kinda bothersome. For that reason, I thought the map wasn't coming out until next Tues, but people have been passing some screens of players on the map, as the new ops, etc. No idea what the source is though.
Yeah, this doesn't seem right. Straight from Ubi:
Stop wasting renown on attachments and camos
I think I had all operators unlocked in the first month. Got 25k in 2.5 weeks of playing, a lot, with friends.

They said like last week when tomorrow's downtime for 2.0 is.
