    theres nothing in the current change log that mentions anything about mines.

    The last time I read something about mines in a change log was before 2.0 was released, and the only thing it mentioned was an increase in mine damage by 40%, and that mines would never damage marines or their structures, ever. Now, what ever actually happened to that change, I dont know... but thats the last thing I can remember about mine changes (and obviously mines are not as I just described them.)

    -- o They can be stacked on each other, but it is immediately obvious. A stack of mines now looks like a stack of mines.
    -- o Mines can be stood upon.
    -- o Mines can be killed by regular projectiles, including parasites and friendly fire. Mines have 30 health.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Just wish that you cant blow them up with parasite when 2.1 comes out. :I

    And i just realised something, the 1.04 hype of getting the first fade to blow the mines/fraggin bunch of armory humping marines is now up to a skulk in early game! w000t.

    I think the concept idea is...

    <b>"It serves you right for laying a minefield in your base."</b>

    Right now a popular strat is to lame up base with 20-30 res of mines, and then completely leave it undefended.

    I guess Flay wants it so marines always need to keep an eye out on the base, or spend lots of cash on turrets otherwise.

    Which, I do believe I agree on. Esp. with the fact that obs will teleport all marines with distress beacon back to base.
