<div class="IPBDescription">quick question :)</div> Had a friendly war the other day and we forgot about friendly fire so we mined up close to our structures.... i think i stepped on a few of them and they went off takin out the IP <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Later in the game i also stepped on a few mines but they didnt go off. Question is why? and how does the mines-friendly fire thing work?

    I've seen mines explosing in clanmatches for no apparent reason... Maybe they were shot by an other marine, just like when a fade shoots a mine.

    when you pick up another weapon and your pistol or lmg drops on the mines they explode.

    Hot diggity dawg! I was so confused to why they blew up in my face some times... I guess that could explain why. Someone mined up the armory, I grab a pack of mines and my gun falls onto a floor mine. Makes sense actually <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think it's a real shame FF isn't on, on most servers. It would really put a stop to all this mine spammage. *ponders*

    Also watch out for healthpacks and if you throw your own weapon on your mines. Ff does tricky things <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    I don't really like how mines react in tourney mode. It kind of renders them useless for guarding structures. I mean, pretty much max efficiency for mines is putting only one of them in the explosion area of that mine. One mine can't even kill a carapace skulk...

    Ah well.

    As much as marines mining structures irritates me, it's a good idea. Whycome mines have to damage stuff when FF's on? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Because they explode? It makes sense to me. I'd love it if the mines would chain react in public servers like they do in ff. It's really very pointless to try and clear out the mines with a suicidal skulk in a public server, because you'll only usually get one, two if you're lucky. In ff mode, you need to be carefull how you place. Damaging structures in a public mode with mines isn't a good idea. Too much space for griefing.

    donno if any other servers do this but BY servers seem to have a mine limit , when un reach it any mine u place blows up in ur face and takes out all the others around you, kinda funny if u reach the limit with the last mine in a small area <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> boom

    as for droping you LMG on the mines i never knew that , thanx <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
