So, I unlocked C4 recently and started using it, but I noticed something weird about how it operates when you deploy it. I'm not sure if it's something I am doing wrong, or this is some sort of glitch.

When I equip the C4 (double tap Y on Xbox), then throw it and detonate it, I am switched back to my secondary weapon, as opposed to the primary weapon I had equipped when I equipped the C4. Is this supposed to happen? I know when you toss a grenade, you automatically switch back to your primary weapon, or whatever weapon you had equipped when you tossed the grenade.

Also, I find it frustrating when I am in a gunfight with someone, empty my magazine, go to pull out my secondary, and instead of that happening, my character goes through a reload animation which doesn't actually reload my weapon. Then I am left there with an empty magazine and have to hit Y again to pull out my pistol. By that time, I am usually dead. Is this a bug or glitch of some kind?

I don't use C4 so I can't comment on that, but regarding the primary weapon reload before taking out the secondary, this is a common complaint and makes no sense. I don't know why Crytek thought that when a man is on the brink of death and needs to defend himself he would feel the need to reload rather than pull out his secondary and kill his attacker. No-one would do something this stupid in real-life.

Let's hope Crytek sort this out, IF they are working on a patch and IF this is an issue they are currently looking into.

Signed. Very annoying and I was so glad to get though the C4 assessments so I could unequip it permanently . Crash site makes it go quickly though.

Yeah, I agree, that's how I got through it. I got alot of double kills, but died quite a few times in the process!

It svcks that you can't throw it as far in MP as you can in the campaign. I was disappointed in the range.

Try running then throwing, it will go further and you can detonate it in the air. I got a triple kill yesterday on that map where everything looks green(Crash Site). They we're hiding behind a bus so I ran looking half way up, flung it, detonated it in the air while backing up and got 3 kills. If this game had theater mode I would have surely saved that awesome moment. C4 is the Bomb(no pun intended)

Yeah I think I've scored a triple with it. Most often I'd toss it, detonate, immediately be killed, and then the C4 would explode killing people immediately after my death.

It's mostly a suicide weapon for me, I use it expecting to be killed without being able to escape.

And yes the range is pretty sad compared to single player.

I love the C4, it's been my primary weapon because of the lag issues. I just run behind people and toss it in front of them and BOOM they go flying across the map.
I saved a team-mate yesterday, he came up on two others, I threw the C4 in front of him as they were firing at him..... BOOM!
They went flying in two different directions, he was like "WTF JUST HAPPENED!?!" LOL.
I said, "C4 Happened!"

ya C4 makes the gameplay "explosive"(haha) and more awesome.
