Topic: New mines

There are only two types of mines right now - anti-personnel and anti-vehicle (which doesn't work against repulsorlift vehicles).

So here's some types I've found in Wookipedia:
1) "3HX3 timer mine" or "XG Anti-Gravity Field Bomb":
- "3HX3 timer mine" (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/3HX3_repulsorlift_mine). Curiously, this mine looks the same as your "Anti-Vehicle Mine". It should work for repulsorlift as well.
- "XG Anti-Gravity Field Bomb" (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/XG_Anti- … Field_Bomb). It's different from the previous mine in that it works ONLy on repulsorlift vehicles. It's harmless to infantry and ground moving vehicles. Oh, and also it buries itself.


2) Sonic mines (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_mine) - anti-personnel mine that will stun (o disorient) the infantry. Have a bigger effective radius, but does no damage aside from temporary dizziness. Perfect for ambush - stun the enemy (or a whole group) and then blast it with relative safety.

Re: New mines

The AV mine works fine against repulsorlift vehicles. You throw them on top of the hull while the vehicle is preoccupied with something else and when it moves, BOOM.

There are 3 types of mines in the BF2/2142 engine

Bf2 av mines (we are using those atm)
2142 apms (using those atm)
2142 hover vehicle tracking mines (not using these atm)

Why is the timer mine called a timer mine? The entry doesn't indicate any timing. While it would be very useful to have the mine detonate when infantry are near it would probably make the heavy more powerful than has any business being.
Repeating blaster or mortar, impervious shield and anti-everything mines? Yes please.
(order now and they will throw in an emp grenade absolutely free! perfect for when you'd rather mildly annoy an enemy than kill him)

A sonic mine would be interesting- if an apm could use the medic grenade effect rather than just going bang it could potentially screw up a lot more players.


Something I'd like to see is the 2142 seeking mines used, skinned as some kind of seeker droids.
