Something else I've noticed is noone wants to be the first guy in the door when an area is mined. Are you afraid it will actually hurt? Come on! Get in there and take one for the team. If you blow yourself up taking out mines for the others, they will be able to do their work while the enemy is scrambling to buy engineers. I've been part of rushes where 3 guys stood outside of thier target staring at mines that won't go away, while getting killed by the noddies behind them.
Get in there and take one for the team!
You can't live forever! ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

I am usually up for a little kamakazi, but the thing is, then your teammates gets loads of points when they get in after your charred body and blow up the building! I never get a thank you from them either, makes me want to do it less and less....

I second what you said!
Hey Kirby how often do you go rushing in past the mines so other people can get the points for blowing up the building?

Very, actually. It's not about the points. It's about winning.
Actually, it is about BOTH points and winning, if you are the lowly engineer that repaired everyone in a 40 people game, even if your side wins, you will end up getting pathetic ladder points, pathetic to your hard effort (being there, done that). ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Does winning bring me satisfaction? Absolutely. ![[Cool]](cool.gif) And winning is THE most important thing, I agree. Since if you lose, nobody gets any points! So that is why I stay a team player, but you just have to be little "selfish" (or smart) sometimes, especially when your teammates aren't helping but busying scoring!
I think in your orig. post, the guys were probably waiting for you to run in. Obviously they are all about points. I think as one's skill improve, it is easier to score a lot of points and make sure your team wins. (e.g. you could be a hotwire and work away the mines, points for you and your teammates can get in).

Nobody is ever grateful, but once in a while you'll get put on a team that works together like this. It's what the spirit of the game is supposed to be about. Teams that work together will smoke ones that don't EVERY TIME.

OT: Or how about the idiots (the $1000 characters) who'll just stand in or bedside a bldg that needs repair and do nothing. I don't even think twice about becoming an engie and doing what's necessary. These people flat out suck...

It's an honor and a privilege to lay down your life to clear out the gaggle of mines at a doorway of in a tunnel. I always do so if for no other reason than to PO the engy who has to go back and replace all of them.
On $1K characters - they are kinda impotent if you lose your hand/barracks and the rest of the team is stuck with base-level units because you were too frikkin lazy/stoopid/cheap to change characters and disarm that one last mine on the MCT. Do this and you deserve to lose!

Here's a short story:
A just bought a sniper to hunt down the 6 snipers that the other teams has out in the field.. Just as I leave the PT, a beacon is placed next to one of our buildings. I run over and managed to get a nice one shot kill. A Havoc also ran up to help. I ran back in the building and bought a hotwire and run back out to start disarming the beacon. The havoc is still standing there and by now a second havoc i s there too. Just after I start disarming, the c4 (that I couldn't see) went off and killed me. Then it was too late and we lost the building... with the two havocs still standing near the beacon.
Perhaps there is some telepathic method of disarming a beacon that I wasn't aware of... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Yes I agree. I will always jump on proxies & take as many as I can. Use all your resources at all times. And always switch to Tech to save a building.

No...never be prepared just to be a TECH for your team...
ALWAYS be prepared to cash in that BRAND NEW Havoc for an Engineer.

Yep, I'll throw myself at mines. Sometimes you can even get through if you run through the right area. While on the topic of sacrifice, try using c4 and the basic troops to take out the buildup of tanks outside the entrance to your base (using the back entrances if possible). Sometimes you can even take out the engies before you die.

M8 you do know that you can use the engys repair gun to disarm the mines and get points for that.
Anyways back to the subject, ive found that semi kamikazizism (or however its spelt) works out great. Example 3 PIC Sydneys in fortress try to get in the hole but its mined so the 1st Sydney goes in and take out about 1/2 before coming back and letting the second Sydney go in and take out the rest (the 3rd ddient need to go in). SO the 3 happy Sydneys place their C4 and happly watch the Nod PP get destroyed. Now thats teamwork.

^ BUMP! ^
Finally! Somebody with some smarts!
You can also try ramming the APC a little ways into the front door, seeing as you don't need it anymore. That sometimes gets a few.
