I swear, if your going to p*ss out and do it the easy way, at least place the stupid becaons in the tunnel behind the refinery the correct way!
Last night the guys playing for GDI placed well over 15+ beacons in a lame attempt to destroy the Tib factory WHILE the rest of the their base went south...............
Is taking the short bus to school really worth it?

Not a lot of people know the correct apot to place the beacon. Once there were 6 deployed at same time and I placed my one at different spot than the other 5 and they keep telling me that I placed at wrong place. In the end only my one managed to hit the refin and their ones all went to waste. They blame that they have eng and tech reapiring it so the refin is not destoryed.

when they do the Ion in the tunnel thing, the enginners in the Tib can score some serious points by repairing the Tib after the becaons go off.............most of the time it benefits the other side point wise...........

Repairing never benefits the team because the damage pts done that needed the repairs is exactly double. If the beacon did 200 PTS of damage to ref they get 100 back for repairing it. [ May 22, 2002: Message edited by: AzWhoopin ]

either way, the other team loses 50\% of the pts your team gets from damaging it. What does it matter if somebody gets repair pts when the person that laid the beacon gets 2 times that amount?? Result, advantage beaconing team.

Well a building can take 450 pts of damage before it dies, 200 PTS of damage on a building is not even half dead. Timed C4 does 200 PTS of damage
Remote C4 Does 100 PTS of damage [ May 22, 2002: Message edited by: AzWhoopin ]

You can destroy the bar with a nuke behind that first rock..

The best way to counter this is to prepare a flame rush. All the times I've seen this happen, the GDI team usually gives it away by securing that position until they can afford beacons. This means they're not reconnoitering. Smart teams flame rush. n00bs stay behind and ***** about it not being fair. The ref for an entire base? Seems fair to me. And also you CAN thwart this if you have three techs repairing while the shots are coming down - it's all a matter of getting people willing to give up their SBHs or Mendozas to serve the greater good.

Wrong. If you remember, it takes either 3 c4, or 2 remotes and 2 timed. That's 600 pts. total, plus a kill bonus of 150. Duh! Were you dropped on your head? You posted how many points you get for each type, then went against it.

Um, duh... you're the one who's incorrect. 3 timed or 2 timed and 2 remotes will actually do a little overkill. That's why you can afford for the engies to do a little repairing between blasts and still take down the building. [ May 22, 2002: Message edited by: Christine Korza ]

Well just for clarification, timed c4 will do 4 bars of damage to a building and remote c4 will do 2 bars(when placed on mct of course.) So any combination of the two types that adds up to 10 or more at one time will kill a building.

To destroy a building all you need is 2 remote and 1 timed. They have to blow simultaneously though, which maginfies the effect. Its funny that many people argue this isnt true, but EVERY day I blow up buildings as just a normal engineer
