Some good places are:
The roof of any building (mine ramps leading to roof)
Between the silo and main buliding on the Refinery(lay a couple mines, they are hard to see)
Inside the bay of the Weapons Factory
The second floor of the Hand (around the ledge of the windows, also another hard to see area)
In the room across from the PT in the Nod Airport

Flying Maps: War Factory: On the highest part, if you look over the edge you'll see a light spot you can place it. On the opposite side of the ramp. I've never had a beacon disarmed here.
Walls Flying: Strip: Inside the comand tower
Volcano: GDI Refinary: If you go throw the tunnel closer to Nod's Refinary and go straight to the Tunnel enterence/exit near GDI's refinary, to the left you'll see a tiny spot between the wall and the refs little wall. That spot is relatively hard to see and easy to kill anyone attempting to disarm it.
All Maps: War Factory: behind the terminal next to the window
All Maps: War Factory: Go where the vehicles are made, jump next to the wind and place it on the side closest to the door
Complex: Strip: go up the hill, or better yet go down the tunnel and to the left, go up that way and cross the tiberium. Duck and put the beacon on that side.
City (either): War Factory: follow the Harvester past the AGT, to where your besides the WF where the AGT can't see you. Quickly dash around so you take little damage from the AGT (go up the ramp to the top) place the beacon up there... Not many suspect it being up there...
Those are just some of my favorite placest to beacon... [ November 01, 2002, 15:56: Message edited by: generalfox ]

here's a thought - inside the buildings --
no one does that anymore --- easier to defend - and no one looks inside...
but the real super way to do it - is to have 4 beacons placed at the same time - with a vehicle to roll over it....
something will blow for sure....

At the refinery. Place it in the middle of the parking spot for the Harvester seconds before the harvester comes back, that way the harvester covers it and the enemy can't disarm it. This works best using stealth troops. Also, be sure to throw your timed C4 near the beacon to kill and engineers that are standing close and trying to disarm it. I killed 5 engineers once with one timed C4 and the beacon still went off!

This sounds like a bit much fire power to blow a building. Who is defending your base at this time when I am over there with a $350 tech/hottie blowing up your buildings at a fraction of the cost?
My favorite is still Air strip on air in the top middle thing, even though everyone seems to know about it now it still goes off the vast majority of the time.

Complex: get a hottie, hummer, and of course a beacon go right, u reach the bottom of the air, plant it on the bottom, place ur hummy over it, put ur C4 around and on the buggy . . . (works better with mobius) and hide behind the small tower cliff comin out of the ground behind

How So? Doesn't make it easier to find the beacons...
I have a red skin that came with a skin of the beam of the ion cannon. (blue and red ion cannon, so pretty =])

On the hand of Nod. Note, this only works with Flying maps, and base defense has to be neutralized. Get trans chopper, get non expensive inf. (this takes perfection) Learn which side to jump out on. Jump out and land on the hand holding the ball. It is guaranteed to succed, for the enemy will have to duplicate your manuever, and by the time they even locate it, then try to disarm it, alot of time is used up. If they do manage to get on top, they have probobally 5 secs to disrm it. [Note, i tried this, and it does work.]

Another GREAT place for a GDI beacon is between the HON and Airstrip on the Complex map. Place the beacon closer to the HON than you do the strip. The beacon will destroy the HON and at the same time take the strip down to yellow.

You need three beacons to take out the strip this way. Tried it, and one beacon only takes it down 1/3.

On walls-flying, on the WF. When you get up the ramp and get on the second platform, there should be a ledge to the right (at the side of the base mountain wall). The beacon can't be seen from below and if no one leans forward to look down, it will not be seen from above as well.
To add something extra sneakyness, jump down (if you have enough health) and start shooting the WF. GDI is then bound to look for a beacon on the ground. If they after that do find your beacon (which is most unlikely), it's to late to disarm it..
