Tsa Mines

Do mines hurt marines (from this point on, marine also refers to structures)? And should they? In the latest patch, I know that marines dont SET off the mines, but if a kharaa set one off near a marine, does he get hurt as well? I remember back in version 1.0, when friendly-fire was not locked off, it was a common alien tactic to punish turtling marines by doing suicide runs at the mines with marines near them. However, I dont think ive seen this anymore...maybe because it doesnt work?

well do they? and should they hurt marines to prevent server-crashing mine spams?


also, do all mines contribute to server-crashes? or is it only the ones with lasers (mines on walls and ceiling)?

If a fade sets one off it hurts the marines definatly.
If a mine goes off near a building it does not hurt it.

If a mine goes off due to being set off while a marine is standing on it... I dunno.

Oh and putting down too many mines crashes servers, so don't.

Shockeh

Marines do not trigger them, but can be harmed by them.

Dunno about structures though.

The other time, a skulk got blown to bits stepping on a mine i placed on the floor, but i was directly in its radius. I just went 'POP' a millisec l8r <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

placing too many mines <i>at one place</i> maybe crashes servers.

Marines need to be careful with mines, because if they are in the wrong place and their base comes under seige from fades, the mines can take out 2-3 marines on their own. I seen it wif me own eyes!

how come when marines press their use key on mines it makes a funky noise?

Aliens who trigger mines hurts marines and aliens
Marines who plant mines improperly (blow up) hurts marines and aliens
Mines do not damage structures.

mine is arming.

a modern way of giving the marine enough time to get the heck out of the way before the mine goes off.
