Mines

[Flyingdebris]

not speaking for the team, but there's probably a reason why you can only place 2 landmines in crysis.  Ever mines you throw down is another entity the sever and everyone's client  needs to keep track of.  Youd essentially grind a server to a halt with a minelayer.  I least i think it might.

i think the mine limit has more to do with not having every road and commonly driven on spot lined with them- would make tanks useless if you could place alot of em.... a limit of 5 would have 15 layed down with 3 players working together..... and i would be getting a ton more kills kuz i always use mines/clays when i got extra money- their like free kills if you don't die very often since they stay down till you die

As for Crysis, Sannyassi nailed it. In fact, they limited C4 to 1 for nanosuits in Crysis Wars since everyone liked to spam it. I don't think it had to do with server load. You could essentially put down 100 or more C4's if you were patient and ontop of a respawn truck or near a spawn area. I remember some admins that would layer an entire floor of a tunnel with C4. It was quite spectacular when it went off. Seeing a wave of explosions come down a tunnel at you made you shit your pants. You'll even see some players put 2-5 C4's onto their trucks/jeeps and ram them into tanks, effectively becoming kamikaze pilots. Altho I have no vid of it, I did manage to hit (and detonate) my truck on a low flying VTOL that was hovering around the Proto/War factorty via the ramp in front of the wall. What a nub! XD

You guys have NOT seen me play Crysis when I am in kamikaze mode. Ask the guys in TLL, near the end of the match, I use ALL of my prestige points to buy C4. I layered my truck the other day with 22 C4. And, I blew up two battle tanks and an AA with the one truck.

My god Nick is notorious for that on our server, all of us on the TLL TS server get a heads up though and hit the deck!

Isn't it allowed in CBT to use LRMs to deploy mines by using mine-laying-missiles as ammo?
The missile itself does no damage but you can deploy a minefield on the hexfield you hit.

Just like cluster bombs -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_bomb#Mine-laying

8. New weapon: Thunder LRM: A very large single missile, the Thunder LRM is a mine-layer. At a pre-determined range it explodes, dropping a payload of 5 mines.

If MWLL has mines have them make Mechs fall over when mechs are hit by them. Yes I got this idea from SB:LOC.

[~SJ~ Karuik]

is the seven basically for 2000 posts? or did you do something special, kinda like your "resident necromancer" title? i want mine to be official forum greeter or something... like that
