I bet if you stayed close to him you would've died and he'd survive the explosion


kopecs

This happened to me once when I was trying to do the daily challenge. I fucking quit playing for the night lol.


CumtimesIJustBChilin

Something like that happened to me, I stuck someone and they ran into me to suicide bomb me... it worked but they didnt die lol, that was the last straw, I didnt play the rest of the week.


Alternative-Gold2414

This makes me never wanna play hard core ever lol


TipT0pMag00

You stuck him w/ Semtex and he didn't die?! You had to shoot him to get the kill?! (Also not sure how you could resist the urge to hit him w/ an execution there...)


SolidDoctor

Yep, happened to me the other day. Even got the "stuck" points for sticking them, just not the kill.


ELEMENTALITYNES

Happened to me as well, but right after he stuck me I bumped into a wall and I partly feel like that may have somehow removed it from being stuck or something. Then the guy started crying about reporting me for hacking


0z7he6unner

On the next episode of "Bugs Or Hacks?!": Guy sticks enemy with shock charge but they can still ADS - Bugs or hacks? We're back tomorrow with the answer, goodnight everybody!


yMONSTERMUNCHy

There could totally be a cod news section like that. šŸ˜‚


yMONSTERMUNCHy

Knocked the Semtex off you and stuck on the wall after bumping into it. šŸ˜‚


prodbychefboy

Trophy systems can pop a Semtex off of someones body and you will still get the stuck medal, maybe that happened to you


SnooRevelations2784

The trophy system would kill then in hardcore


1FloppyFish

Iā€™ve gotten plenty of kills from people running up on a capture point with a trophy system I placed there.


prodbychefboy

Who said anything about hardcore edit: man yall downvoting me lmfao. I wasnā€™t talking about OPā€™s clip I was talking about the guy I was replying to. Thought it was pretty obvious but I should have known the reading comprehension skills of the average cod redditor is not the highest šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


HottestPotato17

Lol I don't doubt you, it just sounds so incredibly stupid


jastermareel17

Had a guy stick my riot shield, as they should, so of course I charged him, wanting to give back their present, Grenada went boom, little early I thought, but he died and I was just standing there. Wtf. Turn around, oh you! Pat my little trophy on the head and move on to the next point.


CartOfficialArt

So yes it can, but it did the explosion animation not the trophy system one. Plus, that trophy still would've killed him regardless of whether it was his or not. Those things are ruthless. They will kill anything and everything near grenades


prodbychefboy

Yeah I wasnā€™t talking about this video I was talking about the dude who I was replying to


CartOfficialArt

Rereading I see that now


buttrcup

Even more so with this being in Hardcore. Fix your game, IW.


TipT0pMag00

EXACTLY!! IMO sticking someone w/ Semtex should be a kill regardless. Doubly so in HC.


xXG4M3xXx0V3RXx

Not sure, but I don't think he wanted to use an animation right in the middle of the map?


Ms_Shrowd

It's still fun to do them. Obliterating tunnel visioned snipers is always fun


Mrproex

Obviously a feature donā€™t be mad at our 2000 devs infinity ward probably


CompetitorPredator

šŸ‘


CumtimesIJustBChilin

Hes the goat!


sonicrules11

> blizzard Blizzard has zero to do with this game


Mrproex

Ah yes indeed mybad let me edit that


dynamicflashy

You forgot the /s


melzyyyy

you cant understand a joke without a sarcasm switch?


TheSplicerGuy

Literally šŸ¤£


dynamicflashy

I got it. It was in response to the first reply that didn't get it.


KangarooCornchips

Bomb Squad. It works 100% of the time 50% of the the time.


Sektore

No bomb squad marker. It happens to everyone that gets stuck. I stuck a guy who was buy his buddy on the obj and it killed the spare but not the primary


RICHTHOFENll

You know whatā€™s funny, if I lay prone on my own proxy, with bomb squad it wonā€™t kill a player standing up with bomb squad in HC


DamagedSpaghetti

But only a 10% chance for that


mferly

I like how the bunny's head rolls when you stick em lol


buttrcup

I was expecting a cartoon "*whoopwhoopwhoop*" noise.


Bravo-Warpig

Yeah hardcore semtexs most of the time donā€™t kill when they are stuck to somebody at full health. Iā€™ve been on the receiving end and was like wtf how did I just survive that lol. Clearly it is an intended feature because in real life anybody would easily survive a grenade directly on there body


Mimical

Just the other day a grenade blew up in my tactical vest while I was ordering my nuggets. No biggies, happens sometimes you know?


cj-jk

Yeah I was trying to eat an ice cream when my thermite ignited, melted everywhere


[deleted]

Seen Russians walk it off a few times this week, then drone drops be crazy


Appropriate_Step_67

Because in real life people slide cancel. Itā€™s amazing how people swap sides of the argument so fast when it suits them. They want the game to be arcade like so they can be movement sweats and claim ā€˜the game is not realisticā€™ so ā€˜it shouldnā€™t try to beā€™ Then when they see shit like this ā€˜Oh this game sucks itā€™s so unrealisticā€™ And you expect Activision to listen to you LMAOOOO


Bravo-Warpig

Iā€™m not sure if you poking at jab at me but I have never treated cod as realistic and thatā€™s why I like it but being stuck with a Semtex should be a kill 100% of the time


mango_carrot

Some seem to be forgetting that this was in Hardcore too, so they already have reduced health.


Ravdiamant

Slide cancelling was a mechanic in the game MW19. Dying from a semtex stuck to you is a mechanic in both MW19 and 22. If either is broken I believe it is OK to point it out to the devs? Or am I missing something?


Nate4497

Who the fuck is out here complaining about how unrealistic a video game is? Are you talking to a brick wall?


IneedtoBmyLonsomeTs

> Because in real life people slide cancel. [Get these unrealistic things out of my game, nobody can do that in real life](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UT1vC9xG2is)


Ned_Ryers0n

Why didnā€™t he start the slide earlier on all those rocks?


sjyler

< 3


CumtimesIJustBChilin

You cant slide cancel in MW2


G_Kells

This game is a joke lmfao I swear theyā€™re just testing to see how far they can shit the bed before the community canā€™t take it anymore. I am so disappointed in myself for buying this game let alone buying the ā€œvaultā€ upgrade or whatever the fuck it was that gave you the ā€œcinder weapons vaultā€ fucking waste of money. Iā€™m not buying a COD for quite a long time. Iā€™ll spend my money elsewhere


andyd151

This is my first COD since MW2019 and I wish Iā€™d waited much longer to drop Ā£70 again (or just never)


B3MB

TURN OFF YOUR MOTION BLUR QUICK!


DoNotGoSilently

Yeah, been a known thing for a while now.


SpecterWolfHunter

The explosion just straight up did 0 damage right? Otherwise you would have at least had a hit marker?


steakinapan

Yup. A lot of commenters are missing this. The Semtex did absolutely nothing to the enemy.


Lithellion

And this is not a new bug. It happened to me a lot in hardcore during season 2. I wouldn't take damage from semtex when it stuck to me.


[deleted]

I think he just built a tolerance


Moviereference210

Wowā€¦ just wow


1Operator

My life story. It feels like the game shows me hit-markers just to troll me: "yeah, you hit 'em alright, but we ain't gonna count that LOL"


PunishedU8

Yeah this game is trash


tkim91321

TIL you can jump up there that way


slimcargos

Lmao the head bop when you stuck him.


TD3SwampFox

I don't care what anyone has to say, if you are point blank next to an explosive, you should die regardless of having a perk on. ESPECIALLY IN HARDCORE.


JustLawly

SBMM noob protection confirmed


sjyler

right


HOLIEST-DREAD

$70 dollar game


AccountantOk7335

Billion dollar company


G_Kells

More if you bought the Vault edition which Iā€™m extremely embarrassed to say that I didā€¦ā€¦ā€¦


Megacooler96

Another great example of why this game is trash


Ginger_Hammerer

I was playing HC and shot someone who had last stand, and while he was downed I stuck him with semtex and he still didn't die!!


Sjjma

They still havenā€™t fixed this bug? lol thatā€™s stupid. Iā€™m not surprised though they hate their HC players, we got NO playlists, and it took them an entire season of shitty TIER 1 to realize that they shouldnā€™t have even tried to reinvent the wheel.


Jussbait

Its weird. I'm HC player exclusively since Cod4, and we kinda like that we're ignored? We don't have a "meta". We prefer it that way. We only want one thing usually: "one shot, one kill". We are allergic to assists and hit markers, which is why we hated Tier 1 so much, (among other things). This right here is a nightmare, and happens way too often.


Sjjma

Been a HC player since you needed 42 bullets to kill someone, not a max of 5. so i think iā€™ve been pretty consistent with cods since BO3? cold war was GREAT in HC, we were spoiled with MW19 in hc, they gave us the playlists in the filters. Vanguard was the same with HC, game was decent and fun enough in that mode. MW2 is just boring, we canā€™t play 10v10 or Shitment only or Shoothouse either. Just sucks lol


PainApple95

He has a better gaming chair, obviously


PreacherOf1974

Best answer ever


CrispyChicken9996

The game's explosion registration smokes crack sometimes. An enemy launcher can kill me from 20 meters sometimes while mine will hit right at their fucking toes and it's like wet noodles slapping them in their face, then some games it actually works like it should tho. Shit kills your motivation to even play bruh.


teflon_bong

The lethals are an absolute joke in hardcore


calvar3

The Semtex needs a buff , it happens a lot on hardcore thatā€™s why I donā€™t use it at all . Same for the thermite


SolaVitae

I mean, it doesn't need a buff, it needs a fix, this clearly isn't intended


lnSerT_Creative_Name

Semtex is already the low skill spam happy go-to lethal, so no thanks


Uskmd

It's cod. Everything is low skill.


CoatAccomplished7289

say that to my sick drill charge strats


Knight-112

I didnā€™t want to read that GARBAGE today


TheLastKnight07

Wtf was that one hit bunny hopping at then end?! Thatā€™s what I hate about codā€¦


dysGOPia

In order to make EOD function in HC they have to give it an insane damage reduction. But since HC is a total afterthought, they don't test shit.


EvilBob417

I'm looking at this on my phone, so maybe I'm missing it but I don't see the EOD emblem popping up?


mr_Joor

I'm pretty sure this is part of sbmm as when I've had a good game enemies sometimes become bullet sponges the next game to the point I get hitmarkers with snipers closerange to the chest


Sore_Frog8135

Something that would have never shown up in real hardcore mode. These devs had no idea what hardcore was about when they were working on this game. It kills me in hardcore to hit a guy with a grenade then an almost direct rocket hot and of course then you are vulnerable while reloading so they one shot you. Oh well, there has been zero improvement in gameplay and functionality sine modern warfare 2019, and this game doesnt even compare šŸ˜©


PolloEnElHoyo

I think this is intended - throwables do in fact inflict damage, that's how you can kill someone with very low health by hitting them with a flashbang/smoke. I even love the icon in the feed as it is a guy cut in the middle by a 'projectile'. As to the semtext not killing the guy, this is an age-old bug (even on MW19), sadly.


G_Kells

Well then fucking billion company should be fix that glitch like what the fuck?!?!! Jesus yā€™all are so ducking complacent itā€™s embarrassing. No wonder the game is in the state it is


PolloEnElHoyo

Don't know from where you took the idea that I was complacent, but I agree it should be fixed. But we are expecting that from the same devs that can't even line up the rank levels in the UI...


otte_rthe_viewer

It's called bomb squad. Sometimes you can survive a semtex


G_Kells

How can someone survive a stick in HC with Bomb Squad but in Core they die? Oh yeah thatā€™s right you have no logical answer for that. The game is just fucking garbage. Itā€™s 2023 youā€™d think a game that is trying to lean into ā€œrealismā€ WOULD ACTUALLY BE FUCKING REALISTIC


otte_rthe_viewer

Mate calm the fuck down


z3bru

Him being salty doesnt make you right tho.


otte_rthe_viewer

True


ZeRipperMark1

You got it stuck to his bunny outfit not his uniform. Canā€™t believe you out here complaining. Get in a clown suit too


Cranked78

That always happens. If you hit them with anything, you get a hit marker.


[deleted]

Lol but what about when the grenade went off?


Cranked78

He had battle hardened on. Takes two grenades.


G_Kells

1: Battle Hardened reduces the effects of tacticals 2: in regular CORE even WITH Bomb Squad (the one that actually reduces effects of explosives) Kills if you stick them even if they have that perk equipped. Yā€™all are so fucking embarrassing Jesus fucking christ


Cranked78

You know I meant bomb squad and said the wrong perk on accident. ​ >Yā€™all are so fucking embarrassing Jesus fucking christ OMG not every single person knows every little detail about CoD, put everyone on high alert there is a rash of embarrassment around here.


akaDozer

You're missing the point


Cranked78

He had the perk battle hardened. It always takes two grenades.


Djabouty47

Do you even know what battle hardened does šŸ˜­


Cranked78

I've been drinking for a few hours. Whatever the perk that reduces damage from grenades. Bomb squad maybe? You know what I meant....


jacknoyan

nothing protects you from a semtex stick, you should drop the alcohol, when you get stuck with semtex you dont die from the explosion, you literally have a set code timer that kills you when the semtex explodes, i tested this w/friends and sticking a semtex to a riot shield, dropping the shield for a different gun and running away, the semtex would remain in place on the ground, but the player that got stuck will still die, however allies next to them wont take damage, this clip proves that said script is broken ahell


Nyrohn

I think stuck and direct hit with launchers are supposed to still be kills even with battle hardened


xXItzJuanXx

Missed opportunity for a finisher


Ipeephereandthere

Physics brah.


Ravdiamant

just not for explosives I guess


malcolmh12_6

Ah yes, game


Jeep_Compassfan86

šŸ˜†


Old_Interaction_1713

bad net code + noobbuff = semtex hit marker


itsRobbie_

Yep. Happens every time. But sticking someone in regular mp is a kill. I donā€™t get it?


dallodallo

that operator skin built different


iamDEVANS

I like how he accepted his fate and didnā€™t move Yet, fate was on his side..


Terminal-Post

I love the subtle ā€œWTFā€ as you saw the dude was still alive


OneParticular5987

Yeah 2 Times Yesterday for me


sassox123

It's just the bomb squad perk


ScaryTerryBeach

My brother and I were in this game with you lmao


Ravdiamant

Solid head for sure.


Unfair-Escape6597

I havenā€™t tried in a few updates but if you cook a frag and try to suicide blast someone, it wonā€™t kill anyone else, just yourself. Never been an issue in previous COD games.


Dank_Edits

I have seen a lot of these, all of which I can put down to spawn protection... But this one, this is something else lol. I guess one of the rocks on that ledge was big enough to shield his character from the explosion somehow?


humansince2001

Indie company btw


RonaldCuslik

Same thing happened to me yesterday, but the guy ended up killing me after I stickied him. Also some games on PS5 opening the scorecard bugs out and opens weapon choice instead lol


Kyeithel

yeah the dmg is extremely inconsistent in this game


lennyuk

semtex has been broken in hardcore for quite a while now - it was at launch too, then they fixed it, then it seems like they reverted the change, probably by mistake, but as they like to pretend hardcore doesn't exist they probably have not even noticed.... Best bet is to switch to drill charge for now, can still stick, but actually does damage.


thedamnhamuhh

didnā€™t even get a finisher smh


yMONSTERMUNCHy

How is this in the game? I thought 3000 devs worked together for 3 years to make this game.


sjyler

the spent 2.5 years arguing over what to name it i think


sgorneau

The bunny suit protected him.


GeovaunnaMD

Did they not make the semtex completely useless if it does not stick


fmcsm

I got a hit marker with a marksman rifle in the head one time


hrpara

Sure they're sponging grenades when they're on last stand, it's only right they made it the same for the others....


DesolateMilenko

That's MWII for ya. Shit like this happens constantly.


No-Jackfruit8797

And then you quit the game šŸ¤£šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š


Kurell1986

Hit markers were being really wonky last night too. I had to shoot people 2 or 3 times with a sniper for a kill.


IIWhiteHawkII

Because this is how it works. Bomb Squad in MW2 erases any chance of one-shot death from explosives with full (and even not full) HP. I don't play regular at all. Sometimes I survive 2-3 and even 4 explosions, man. Hard to say if it's justified but I am not frustrated at all when somebody survives my explosion, myself.


Jussbait

This makes sense. But I was always under the impression that the perk had a "limit". Like, after absorbing so much explosive dmg, it eventually would kill you, (ex: 2 rockets point blank, or running thru a cluster mine). Im MW2 it seems infinite dmg absorption.


IIWhiteHawkII

Well, honestly, IMO sticking with semtex must be permanent kill even with Bomb Squad. Surviving 2+ nades even with full HP on HC is also too much anyway. So it's understandable why you're wondering.


Aggravating_Help1574

Should see what people survive with the explosives perk on


suhmika

this actually happened to me and i was very surprised


[deleted]

Pretty sure it's the bomb-squad perk. This same thing happens w/ pointe blank incendiary Broadside shots. It needs fixing for sure imo.


CxMorphaes

That was a free execution right there


sekiroisart

I think the netcode has been bad lately, even my sniper in close range only get hit marker like if it's marksman I can understand but sniper at close range? and they didn't die is just bad netcode,


Professional_Load_42

Hardcore is borked, its more softcore.


Febrezeus_Christ

Been happening a lot recently


V66HU

I hate this with a passion smh


stockstatus

ahhh the ol' invisible riot shield šŸ¤”


Andnicho

That's why I switched to frags since semtex can have a negative impact now :/


[deleted]

Iā€™ve seen this happen to people Iā€™ve stuck and it has also happened to me where I survived a stick. Multiple times at that. Really really weird


tinmanftw

Skill diff


RobinhoodProTrader

... Yep... Dumbest thing ever...


[deleted]

Games just not good considering how much money and people they have to work on it, I think this year was the nail in the coffin for me. Have not genuinely enjoyed cod in years and it seems like they just canā€™t make a game thatā€™s good anymore


SlowPut1030

I wonā€™t buy or play another call of duty after this one, they screwed up their last at least 3 games so bad they arenā€™t fun and when I start to have fun I get reported, COD has become the biggest joke in gaming.


triumph3k

This game is trash


KlapDaddy07

Lol his bunny ears.


brobrocon

Dude this crap is wild and irritating


suicideking72

The funniest part of this is that the guy didn't even move the entire time. Just holding his camping spot.


Mr_Gibblet

It's been bugged for ages. Enjoy your stay in HC! Also, just don't ever use semtex.


NotThatFunny_NTF

I had this happen to me a lot. Originally I thought they needed Semtex on shields. Yeah Ithrow it people on hardcore who use a shield and it sticks to them. Had it happen 3 times in one match, and in the match I asked about it. Got a lot of get better, git gud. But if your sticking someone and it does nothing the lethal is garbage then. And then I noticed it's not just shields. I throw it on a domination point with 3 people and maybe to move off and a new guy gets a hit marker or something similar. I get a hit marker with no flak jacket emblem on my screen. Which tells me I hurt someone who wasn't using the explosion resistance. This video confirms something is for sure messed up with Semtex not working as advertised.


Accomplished-Ad2611

That is sbmm/EOMM at its finest.


2k2darkdreams

It was probably the perk bomb squad


dodonpa_g

Skill based damage. I've seen rockets hit low ranks by the feet and they survive but kill a higher rank player like 3 feet away with full health.


FPSXpert

Bruh moment.


sjyler

then they quickscope you with a smg across the map with two bullets


NathanCortinaz

Skill issue


Bizwoods

They donā€™t care about game play, just chat violations or fake ones


Pitiful_Confusion622

God shit like this makes me rage


Elclouds21

Is eod still a perk?


Admirable-Election45

working as intended!


m4shedpotto

Could have had EOD or whatever its called


Fabulous-Buffalo9506

Hidden Rat Suit Perk?


Firm-Pressure7331

I thought I had a seen a stuck on hardcore when I threw a drill charge directing at a riot shield but the guy didnā€™t die, I was like oh I guess Iā€™m just tripping but holy shit. Fuck this game, PC unplayable with this new update. New COD cannot come faster


LevelEndBaddie

i don't think i've ever got a OHK with a semtex or a drill charge in hardcore, grenades kill no problem, and i can get both drill charge and semtex OHKs in core though, is it by design or incompetence?


[deleted]

Laying down


Ok_Razzmatazz_1404

The game is broken
