While defending a GDI base today I entered the Barracks to refill and I noticed someone had placed 8 or so mines neatly arranged around the end game spot (what's it called?), but none at the entrance or MCT. I think this isn't very effective, cause any intruder can just walk past the mines and blast the MCT away and very few people plant end game beacons anyway. What do you folks think about this "tastic" (sorry... I couldn't resist... ![[Wink]](wink.gif) )?

Had the barracks already been taken out?
That would be the only time you would want to mine the pedestal.

Will the end-game beacon still work even in an already destroyed building?

End game beacons can still work if the Hand or Barracks is already destroyed.
To answer the question, the most valuable tactic is to mine the entrances. And a few near the MCT doesn't hurt.

Was this on a map with defenses or not, because alot of people try stealth/nuke on the ped on maps with no base defenses. I personaly hate useing the ped unless my team is getting messed up quite badly.

Yes, it had defenses (still intact), the barracks were all right anf luckily they seemed to be early mines... And we could "move" them via minelimit.

Mining the pedestral when the building is not destroyed is a waste of mines. Mining the entrance(s) will do.
After the HON or barracks is destroyed you should check the L button on your keyboard. If the end-game beacon is enabled, then is mining the pedestral VERY important.I have won and unfortunately lost quite a number of games where the pedestral was not mined.....when needed.
