Another thing thats bloody annoying

DeVore

I cant count the number of times I've been blown up by "friendly" mines.

Rarely does anyone say they have mined an area and if they do they *never* repeat it when a new player joins their team.

and why oh why do you mine near to the shop (supply thingy, I just call it the shop)
Its unblievable annoying to hear someone say "our flag is mined" and think... urr wheres the other shops on this level.
Often the other shops are in towers that are objectives and THEY are mined too! nicely snookering the enitre team...
mining is a great tactic but a good team would have a prearranged path to get to the shop (ie keep to the left on the top entrance) ... is that possible or are the mines too sensitive.

Its annoying to walk into a mine near the flag since it kills you (most likely), damages the shop and removes the mine!!! altogether not a good result for your team...

Oi that mine was there for a reason <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

it was in the little room where the generator is opposite my turret....

Ppl on seeing the turret usally back up .....

besides theres no shop in there / no reason to go bouncing around the generator..

On the other hand I lurv hobbes tactic of mining destroyed Inv stations <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> ouch!

A mine placed on a destroyed generater is practically invisible thanks to the blackened damage textures. I nailed a couple of people with that one yesterday - they just run up with their repair packs in hand and get blown away.. <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

I always mine nme wreakage. If the nme are coming out a certain way, I mine that too.

If I see a remote inv station that's not ours, then I give it a shot to weaken it and then mine it. This stops them from deploying more and a good chance I'll whack someone in the process <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

So be wary of all that <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

Also Devore, there is a "Flag" sound tree (V F ...) One of the options is Clear the mines from our flag...

I also mine objectives btw.

Who doesn't? <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

One thing I like to do is when I fly a scout over to the enemy base for some sabotage, I chaingun the scout just a little, then mine it. If someone comes over with the idea of flying the scout off the map.... boom. Mind you, most defenders just seem to blow them up which is fine by me.. <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

I find this friendly fire stuff very annoying as well.

I have two solutions:

a)Everybody agree on positions of mine fields beforehand.
In other words : 'nobody use the right entrance, coz we're gonna mine and turret the hell outta it'.
Not the easiest thing to do in an open game where god knows who is joining and leaving every mintue.

b)Just disable team damage by voting for it.

Otherwise, its just a matter of accepting getting blown up by them.

I would prefer a game with team damage on, but it has happened a large number of times that I've crossed the whole map with the flag, only to be blown up right beside my own flag, which is unbelievably annoying.

Team damage disabled really screws up the gameplay and makes it wussy.

Put in the TK kick mod, stops people from using mines though

I think unless your playing your clan/tribe your going to expect this, in fact "Our flag is mined" normally translates to "Please throw yourself apon the mine I just placed" to some people. <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

Don't worry you learn to look for them <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">
