    lol.
    That's a death trap for any marine who gets near it. One fade rocket to set them off and KABLOEY!. No more (anything standing close).

    Hehehe, while we're on the subject of mines, is it me or can you not place them on the floor to the ceiling? Is it just walls?

    that reminds me: the other day i was playing as Fade and no matter how many shots i fired, my projectiles wouldnt det the mines. i always could before. was this a change in the patch?

    Never tried ceiling, but you can on the floor. Dont way for the laser, it wont appear, its a land-mine now.

    I forgot to mention that this lagged quite a bit, due to all the stuff going on at once.

    The landmine - Yeh, the mine goes down but I see no laser <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Those can be either:

    Laser-trip mines
    or
    Regular pressure mines


    For laser-trip, place on ceilings/walls
    For pressure mine, floor (or so that the top of the mine is facing upwards)
    *if on pressure, your own troops can set them off, use with caution on ff servers*

    The funnier problem? A single acid rocket would take out all of those.

    Funnier problem?

    On rare occasions, skulks can walk right through tripmine beams without setting off the mine. I have a pic on my comp somewhere of me staring directly into 2 mines lasers. They didn't go off until i got off the wall and jumped back and forth across the beams several times (i was clearing them out so an onos could pass)

    Well if you are trying to say that it's not stupid and shouldn't be changed. Then you should atleast change it because it lags A LOT.

    You can spam build too, put up loads of CCs or TFs to block bottlenecks.

    mines on the ground cannot be set off by marines, they just beep but dont explode, and I heard somewhere that you could put them on the ceiling as a proxy mine, but thats never worked for me.

    Well I do have to say, that's one way to kill an Onos easily. Just lure it to that trap and make sure you're well away when it comes through. I believe Marvin Martian said it best with "Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom!"
