other uses for vehicles (kaboom!)
vehicles in S3...ya either love em or hate em...but i propose some of the best uses for them dont even involve getting behind the wheel

lets say for example you're playing Crucible, that big desert map w/ the windy roads, endless mine passages, and rocky canyons...

you can use vehicles as roadblocks, especially useful if you fire enough bullets into em beforehand, so that the next few rounds would make them detonate (careful not to make em blow up right away)...making them ideal ambush-starters: enemies come within range, and you finish off the weakened trucks/jeeps/whatever & watch the fireworks

also, they're useful to block gaps in the fenceline or mine entrances...once again, shoot em up, & when the enemie's in range fire up the vehicle to use it as an EOD

Road blocks are really useful in the game mode convoy. The enemy has to get out of there trucks and move the road block or find a different way. this allows the seals enough time toambush the terrorists and destroy one or both of the convoy trucks.

Very good tip. Or not even as roadblocks. Put one by the side of the road in a hard to see spot. Then have a sniper cover the road with an m87 or someone with an m203 who will blow it up as a roadside bomb whenever someone walks past.

I love sniping people out of vehicles especially in convoy. They get the truck loaded up and are like whoo going to the extraction and then they get in the truck and get sniped :D Its awesome

What I wanna try is putting a claymore on a vehicle, driving it towards the enemy, jump out and detonate the clay... Do you think that would work?

UHhhh ok
hey well another strategy is to block an entrance and blow the vehicle up so no one can move it and then you dont have to wait around for someone to come along and die...they will just turn around if the entrance is blocked therefor they will die anyway hopefully

That will work for a minute before the vehicle goes away.


Crucible demo seals

Drive a buggy up onto and in the plant boxes(yes its possible.tricky but possible) plant m2 mines around the vehicle plant a claymoore around close enough to hit the m2s. when you clack the clays the m2s will go off causing the vehicle to blow up. Its a beautiful thing me and a buddy of mine do it alot. Its funny when u have it in a random place like on killing fields and your just sittin thier watchin as a lone terrorist walks up and as soon as he gets in you clack it WA-BOOM!!
