Just wondering where you place the beacons here is my list of places: GDI Weapons factory - Behing console supoort just in front of glass.
GDI Barracks - Around the back under GDI LOGO where nobody looks 
GDI AGT - Between the structure and mast
GDI Power Plant - Outside at the big long round section out of site
GDI Tiberium Refinery - Whereever i think the enemy is least likely to find it NOD Obelisk - Whereever i think the enemy is least likely to find it
NOD Airstrip - At the highest point of the runway down the little slop noone looks there
NOD Power Planet - Same as GDI Power Plant
Nod Hand Of Nod - On the top level in a corner
NOD Tiberium Refinery - Same as GDI Refinery How about where you place yours, just post any comments, thoughts, or where you place yours below. Thanks, --Shaun--

GDI Weapons factory - inside the bit where the tanks come out. GDI Barracks - Inside by the MCT (only when i have stealth hand to protect) GDI AGT - Between the structure and mast GDI Power Plant - in one of the groves on the flat side. GDI Tiberium Refinery - inbetween silo and refinery (usually with proxy C4 to protect) ********************************************* NOD Obelisk - i don't, i just C4 it NOD Airstrip - round the side of the airstrip building NOD Power Planet - Same as GDI Power Plant Nod Hand Of Nod - Use the Floating Ion Beacon trick to make it confusing. NOD Tiberium Refinery - Same as GDI Refinery [ April 04, 2002: Message edited by: xlroguelx ]

I like to place it where a tank can fire at the spot of the beacon. Mobile A's are good, just have the Mobile A fire at the beacon. You dont need to fire at the person, just get the splash damage to kill them.

Somehow I doubt the really good players will reveal where they place their beacons. With the upcoming patch with access to the top of buildings, there will be even more places to hide the beacon. (unless they make it so you can't place them up there) What's that beeping sound?  Stickman

they should make the fuses a little longer in the patch...this extra ground to cover osn't oing to be easy. especially with the stealth nuke tactic.

personaly it doesnt matter i only set nukes or ions when i have protection i usualy find any spot clear of enemys(by the buildings of course)is good and sit back and protect it with a vechile or even better a buddie in a vechile.

A good place for the refinery is in between the refinery and the silo. You are covered, no one will spot you and they probably won't spot the beacon either.

Point 1 I play defence in clan games, the first place I look if its the ref is the gap between the refinery and the silo, in fact I will plant prox c4 in there if I think its gonna get a beacon attack. Point 2 The next point is about the placement of beacons on the roof when the aircaft mods come out... not a good idea. You can already do this to the GDI barracks on the Canyon map. I thought itd be hard to find up there and I was right, but the strike didnt kill the building!!! Don't bother wasting a beacon up there. So if this holds for the other buildings I don't think flying unts will make a difference. Point 3 Has anyone else placed a beacon on the pedestal in beacon win off games and found that it doesnt kill the building??!!
I did just that yesterday, I couldnt remember if beacon win was on or off so I placed it on the pedestal. It got the GDI barracks into 2 red but thats it... bizarre ???

I've gone off using beacons now, unless they are my only hope. If possible i'd rather use a techie/hotwire. Recently i've found out that you can destroy an entire building with a chem warrior (C4 and spraying MCT) so i use this alot. -Rog

theres one good thing and bad thing about putting beacons in the GDI warfactory Good: When some one trys to disarm Beacon some one might buy Unit and it will cruch the Engineer or Hotwire. Bad: U may get crushed if some one buys a vehicle. (I seen one person placing a beacon in the War Factory Main Doors where the Units come out of so I blew my money on a Humvee and he got crushed when It was spawned he wasn't able to finish deploying the beacon.
