Re: Proximity mine Disarm

These mines are a negative contribution to this game, at least right now.

Re: Proximity mine Disarm

they kinda pwn single players, but just with a medic in your squad you can "disarm" them quite easily...

Re: Proximity mine Disarm

I don't have a problem with them blowing up people who step on them regardless of team. It's a mine, it has no idea of knowing which side the person who steps on them belongs to. Perhaps if you replaced the big red cross with the word 'MINE!' or something, people would be more careful? I agree with the blast radius needing to be nerfed a little, though.

As for disarming, it's fine with me either way.

Re: Proximity mine Disarm

How about setting them to blow up if you walk/run within 3 feet of them and if you crouch/prone within .5-1 foot of them.  And make the fusion cutter thing disable them within 1.5-2 feet.   It would tak 1 second or so to difuse, would work the same way with vehicle mines (exept they dont blow up people so thats not an issue tongue)

Re: Proximity mine Disarm

How about hacking them? Walk over to one of them with a wrench and you're switched to a mini-game reminiscent of Pipe Dream. If you can manage to direct a blue flow from point A to point B, the mine only kills your enemies big_smile !

Or would that be too BioShock-ish?

On-topic, it still strikes me how strange it is that mines incur so many team kills. Don't go near the red x. Don't punish if you do. How hard is that to get?

Re: Proximity mine Disarm

for people that are used to press "page up" on default its not that hard to do it even if they die as a consequence of their own stupidity, sometimes BF just wont show all the mines of the own team due to some bugs and then again there are some ppl out there that dont punish for TK's or even some server that have this option disabled!!!
