You can avoid Claymores, you can't avoid, spot or survive Bettys. Clays were effective, and encouraged proper placement. Here, you just put a Betty underwater near the covered sniper tower on Makin and behind the barrel on the dock and you're guaranteed 2 kills a death.
It's true that with good placement betties can be effective. However, most of the time in most areas on most maps, they can be spotted and destroyed without fuss, on top of which, there's a competing perk to help you eliminate them.

A competing perk to eliminate them...you know Bomb Squad only helps you spot them right?
And you know perk 2s are arguably the most-useful in the game; if Flak Jacket was a technical perk (1) or an HUD performance perk (3) I'd have no problem passing up one of those to deal with Bettys.
Effectively placed Bettys are **** compared to effectively placed Claymores - those at least required skill to do, because the red rays stuck out so damn easily. Bettys on the other hand, can be placed in shrubbery, behind buckets, behind barrels, behind corners, behind tables and behind cars and you'll basically never become aware of them without wasting a perk slot until its too late. Effectively placed Bettys don't require any skill. You just drop them when they can only be seen coming one-way, and with the amount of one-way buildings (up or inside, going out you can usually jump out windows) they're even more effective and nooby.

That requires the use of Teamspeak, disallowed by GB rules IIRC.
Never said anything about Teamspeak or GB. The way we roll, the dude with bomb squad is the point man and picks the path - he stops, everybody else knows to hole up and watch the treeline while the cleanup goes down. And besides, you can spot the Bettys, hooray. What then? They hardly ever explode when shot due to Wii lag and the only way you can survive is with Flak Jacket. But if they use the pincer set-up (requires both Bettys...only noobs do this) you'll die even with Flak Jacket enabled.
I can 1-shot a betty with pistol like nobody's business. When I was nineteen, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. Rifle shot in high wind. Ten guys in the world coulda made that shot.

I never have a problem shooting bettys in this version or the 360 version <.<? Always blow up in one shot for me =/
And I almost always spot them...well I guess that's cause like you said ppl in the wii version are nubs and always put them in the same place <________<

LMFAO Holly wood, to **** pro.  Betties are easier than **** to spot if a noob is using them, but getting someone that can place them, they're highly effective. Placing them around corners and up ladders pwns.

betties are in no way overpowered
if you run around with your head cut off, i could see how they annoy you, but they are very easy to spot. you shouldnt be running into a mine field anyway, take your time, put down the mp40 and think for a few
i sort of see some of your views, with the dogs on ****. i would just hate to take off recon and artillery. i mean... dogs arent tough to deal with. i think it is very easy to stop a single guy from getting 7 kills in a row, ESPECIALLY if you allow noob cannon.
I don't know who this noob Wii Trooper wannabe is, so don't get the wrong idea, he's not on our squad. Not sure what game he's been playing
I'm with hollywood here, most things have counters, especially betties. I promise noob cannon will ruin this game if it isn't regulated

How is hard core the way to go? because it takes no skill to find the person before they find you?

Because **** == extreme. Take it from me... from who? what no hard core is not extreme, hard core is retarded. First of all its like 1 bullet kills, which is basically who ever can camp and see the person before they see you. Second of all, yea its REALLY **** HARD CORE TO NOT SEE YOUR AMMO. yea thats hard core. [BC]eXXtreme
