I use them.  They work.  Its funny sometimes.

I remember when I was playing Mission once and one of my teammates through it at a spawn point.  I and somebody else were trapped by it and couldn't get out (This is the ultimate airdrop trap).

The enemy team fell for it nine times in just one game lol.

It was more effective at launch and with the christmas noobs, but if other players in your party run assault care packages the booby trap becomes more effective, and even if the enemy figures it out it will help protect your buddies legit care packs excl sit rep users of course. They are also fun in demo to use as a last line of defense if you cant protect the bomb. I have quite a few heads up kills throwing the booby trap right on the bomb and having it fall on the defuser

No. I only run support on one class and I only run UAV and Vests on that class. I never liked Air Drop Traps, as they are never a garunteed kill. Waste of a slot if you ask me. Now with the advent of the last TU, more and more people are running Sit Rep trying to get it pro, making Air Drop Traps even more useless.

Like you said they are fun i play Ground Wars all the time so these come in handy

I will never forget the day I got my airdrop cherry broken lol. I was so excited that I was about to steal someone's stuff and then...I laughed so hard I almost cried. But now I am a sitrep junkie and I'm always on the mic telling my team if its a trap or not. I never fall for it again.

After reading this, I went home and decided to give it a try. LOL it was definitely funny when someone took it, but after the first time never worked again in that match.

Probably best when someone tosses down an osprey. But it's typically a one time thing during a match, if it works at all.

I quickly removed it the next match as I would rather run counter UAV. It's a fun gimmick, but definitely should be moved down a notch to the UAV level. It's not NEARLY as useful as counter UAV or vests to be on the same bracket.
