If you have a MOAB, will an enemy EMP prevent you from detonating it?

Question in the title. And of course I do know the point of an EMP and understand it's effects, and I PRESUME it would stop you being able to detonate your MOAB but has anyone had experience with this?
Repsonses appreciated ![]()
Pretty sure EMPs prevent MOABs from being activated.
This is important u sure Snorlax?
I'm pretty sure I recall reading a thread on this a few days back. Someone confirmed this, someone was whining, someone was mad, etc etc.
You could always test it out in private match if in doubt though.
I guessed there would be another thread addressing it but for the life of me I couldn't find a definitive answer. I had hoped to detonate my first one in an actual game but I'll try and test it in a private match when possible. Thankyou. If anyone does know for sure, you're welcome to include yourself here!
[disregard anything written here before I edited it out. I misinterpreted something and replied without fully understanding gallps intended tone in his repsonse.. blame my 14 hour shift and lack of sleep!]
Magic thx for info appreciate you taking time to help old gallp;) chrs Snorlax
Blatent misinformation. This is why these forums suck. People have no idea about anything and act like they have all the answers. When proven wrong most here just argue their way into whatever makes them sound right to themselves.
No it does not prevent the moab from going off. Personal experiance.
Someone looks like a jackass.
What are you talking about? Yes EMPs do prevent moabs from going off. You must really be sniffing paint brah....

test it out in a private match. I , for one, would be extremely mad if i had to learn the hard way in a public match..... lol
Yes guys tried it in priv match on WII but i think the effect is the same. The moab will not be activated in the time of the emp! so snorlax is right
STREWTH! You little beauty mate;) thx
Gallp ^ about the reply above is it directly to me?
Yes appreciate your verification of Snorlax's information. Most helpful to gallp;)
PS Plz excuse Australian idiom - but was excited;)
in that case i loved that responded and your more then welcome ![]()
Cheers ;)
Thank's for testing that out sir!
So we've accomplished that a MOAB can not be called in when an EMP is active, but will an active MOAB countdown be stopped by an EMP?
OOOW good one sir gonna try it later
Thanks, I look forward to knowing this! ![]()
no it won't
I had a feeling not...
Thankyou for testing this theory out!
Yesterday I dropped a MOAB and someone used an EMP as soon as they heard the alarm and the MOAB still killed them all. This morning they called an EMP and I called a MOAB during the time we were EMP'd I had assassin pro on so don't know if that had anything to do with it.
Hmm. In one of the youtube videos posted above, the chap is using specialist strike package and had Assasin Pro on but still couldn't call in his MOAB whilst the enemy EMP was active, but that was before the MOAB countdown.
I'm guessing it doesn't matter what perks you have or don't have enabled, the developers saw the potential annoyance of an active MOAB countdown being stopped by an EMP. That would really of been a kick in the ****! Thanks for everyone's info! I'll be using it in game ![]()
EMP > Moab.
So yes, it does.
also if you didnt know moab stops a moab ^.^
Ah. Good point! Thanks!
Yup happened to me and I was pretty pissed about it because we ended up winning the game before I can call it in.
