Where do mines go? I prefer 6 total for PP 6 for ref. I put 1 at the door on the door jam kinda hidden as it isnt on the ground 1 just a little further inside than that between the door and the mtc but closer toward the door. then there is the 1/2 wall there i put 1 at the corner of that 1/2 way up the wall. Similar for ref 1 in door 1 in fromt of mtc 1 in that small hall between 2 doors and another in the larger area where it is obviously a hit on the person. On agt/ob i usualy go 2 in the door 1 @ mtc and 1 inbetween but usually no more than 4 tops. Brx 2 @ sandbag wall 1 for each door and 2 around mct HON 1 for each door 1 for each path 2 around the mct so 8 there. air stip i go 2 to the door 1 in hall 1 @ mct War fac 1 per door 1 on the hall 2 mct and 1 between front door and mct. I almost always have extras. and can get close to 10 kills a game if the opposing team is aggressive enough. if they arent to aggressive i can still get 3-5 kills easy. any tips or suggestions i can try a diagram but i think it may suck.

I think perhaps those might be spread too thin in some areas. Would have to actually see it though. If the doors are the only way in, I'd think that 5 on each door would be more effective at making sure anything that walks in will die. Not to contradict my previous posts.. I never said that covering the doors was bad. I just prefer covering the MCT areas and it seems to work well for me so far. The doors are definately better but also use more.

I dont like to use more than 3 on a path except the HON. but if i keep getting heavy traffic i will. and as far as 5 to a door, i grimace at the thought. I have seen a few ppl run right though it and damaged only 1/2 way that pattern i see is usually like this \/\/\/ /\/\/\ .\/\/ ./\/\ a small cluster of 5 ans BH run right over them and planted c4 on mct several times. talk about ****ed.

I stick 4 in each doorway, 2 on each side sides( 1 on the floor to if you feel the need), 1 about head level and one about neck level on each side. Garenteed to kill an intruder and also you can't jump to avoid damage as you can when mines are on floor. Also its very hard to target and disarm mines that are stuck to the side walls of a door.

I like the idea of the mines head level or neck level. that makes more sense. and i used to do this to a point but i only placed 2 in the door. not 4. i will prob go back to 2 and cut back on the extra 1 i used 1/2 to the mct. BTW gg with you AZ

I use 6 on each door on the critical buildings, but well spread out. That will stop two people, which means any single vehicle rush except APC automatically fails. On maps where mines are needed on too many places, five or four on the important places, always well spread out. Three isn't enough - they can just run straight through that and still live. As for mining around the MCT - don't. Especially not in HoN/Powerplant. You need so many mines to cover the MCT in those buildings that you can get the same effect (or better) with fewer mines around the doors. Everytime I see someone mined around the MCT in a building (or sometimes even ON the MCT... lol, morons) I just stand a few meters away and throw my C4 on my target. Also, if I'm unseen, I've got plenty of time to disarm the C4 since I'm inside the building - that doesn't work with C4 at doorways. [ April 19, 2002: Message edited by: Devon ]

I place five mines right inside the doorway. You have no chance to escape. If they are all clustered together and you run over just one, they all blow and you die. You won't be jumping either in a split second. Just ain't gonna happen. Don't put six, because (I believe) it takes three to kill a grunt level soldier, four to kill the in-between soldiers, and five to kill the high class soldiers. I always put five down and no one escapes mine. [ April 19, 2002: Message edited by: aircraftkiller2001 ]

Hi guys, I'm on the GDI side and need your help again... I'm now in the mission where I'm in the Science Lab and need to protect Dr Mobius. I'm now on my way to the exit, and after going to the ground floor through the lift, Dr Mobius runs straight towards the exit. The problem is that there are loads of soldiers and I get killed very quickly. Can someone help? Thanks.

Alright, this is what you do: First thing, whip out your rocket launcher and blow up the sentry gun. Then a bunch of guys will swarm Dr. Mobius. Take out your flamethrower and aim at the templars. About 5 seconds after you engage the battle, a stealth soldier will start shooting you from behing. Take him out and resume your job. Try running circles around mobius and the mutants that are point-blank. The flamethrower makes the mutants stop and bend over so make sure all the mutants get some.

Thanks guys! I can't remember how I did it, but I just got through and done. If you ask me to try that mission again, then I probably lying dead on the floor again and it will be pretty **** quick!
