Call to Action for Scout players to beg for Tripwire traps to get fixed/adjusted like they were before the Revolver/Makarov update. I only told Yoshiro about it once in passing a couple months ago but obviously I am just a simple one man soul who needs help to drum up the community to fix this issue that many poor souls joining after that fateful update thought was a feature.
Simply put, change how tripwires now (for the longest time since 2017) perceive collision that is tied to the bottom of the tripwire stick. Previously the wire/top of the stick determined how far apart/how angled the tripwire can be placed, especially when we used to place them in such unexpected locations instead of relying on a gap in a space.
The "bug fix" for the tripwires came when they stopped being able to be placed on the ground entirely, in which your character would do the animation but it would not work.
Then said fix with the Revolver/Makarov update caused tripwires to be reliant on the collision of the bottom of the stick, instead of the top of it or the wire connecting.
No scout who is playing really places any tripwires anymore because of how difficult it has always been since then, and unfairly inaccurate to how a tripwire can connect appropriately.
The most notorious case is attempting to place a tripwire between the pile of rubble and the broken wall gap entering the Hue Temple courtyard (F).
Here is an ancient 2017 relic video of tripwire trap placement (doesn't go extreme like I have done it but as you can see it's shown to be so much easier).
