You know why you blow it? Because IF YOU DIE FROM BEING SEEN, you can't detonate it. You'll rarely live the 30 seconds for that Timed C4 to blow... So you might as well detonate the Remote C4 and get some kind of points and credits out of it, instead of NOTHING at ALL.

Die from being seen? I'm sorry, I didn't know you could die from someone looking at you. Geeze - it's not like you should be standing still and just take damage. You have 300 health with a Technician/Hotwire - not even a Patch/Black Hand can take you out immediately. If you know what you are doing, you can survive at least ten seconds against anything except Mobius/Mendoza or multiple Patch/LCG characters, and you only need 23 seconds because it takes 7-8 seconds to plant 4 C4. You have a perectly visible health bar - when you start to run out of HP, it's time to blow the remotes, not when you still have 150+ HP left (unless there is a PIC/Raveshaw there). For someone who's been betatesting for so long your tactics sure seem primitive.
