BF2S Forums Mine Implementation

imho tank will kill u b4 u can set the mine properlly, unless their far far away...

That would make more sense Sub.  Also, once (pre-placed) mines were deployed for say...base defense, they should show up on the map in red showing the placement(visible only to allies).  This would reflect how real world ops work.  YOu do Range cards to show where mines/claymores/sensors and such are placed so friendlies don't get themselves killed by allied equipment/munitions.  This would force armor to think about their attack plans instead of just rolling into enemy compounds blowing everything/everyone up.

I like your idea but BF2's engineer uses what is known as a "Hasty Minefield". What you suggest is a more deliberate emplacement, each have a role and both are needed. Add your idea to the mix but don't take away the other. Your minefield type should last longer too not fade after a few minutes.

In addition the minefileds need to have a more visible minefield marking system so the engineer doesn't get TK punishment all the time. If you could mark the minefield from the Q menu with small flags that show either friendly or enemy minefield and have that disable TK punishment then you have a total minefield solution.

Also is is rare to place only AT mines the minefields should be a mix of AT/AP to prevent infantry from getting thru it. This is hardcore and would cause too much whining without a marking system.

SUB I agree to make the AT missile 1 shot 1 kill capable IF you require the user to stop, setup, remaining nearly motionless for 5 seconds, then he manages to hit the tank in a criticial vulnerability and not the 3 foot thick front of the turret, and he can only carry 1 missile instead of the trailer load he carries now. No, a shoulder fired AT missile "capable" of killing with one shot does not kill with one shot every time.

Use tanks more so you can learn how to defeat them, or form a tank killing infantry squad and hunt tanks.

lol maddog kinda harsh eh?  But remember when they immuned the commander from TKs they also took away his kills, like castrating the poor bastard. If they immune mines from TK then they should also take away the kill credits.

I like the increased markings/warnings to activate the TK immune system so IF the engineer or commander for that matter give proper marking or warning they avoid any question of punishment.

SuB, exactly my point!!!!

they should have fixed the commander selection process instead of castrating the position, same with engineers - let them go mad with minefields but prevent TK punishment by knuckleheads.
