it would be a waste of credits to buy a stealth trooper and a nuke. then sneak up on a sniper and place the becon.B0OM.

Wouldn't it destroy your buggy if GDI bought a tank?

I think this should be fixed... plus, if u die, the beacon would stay active right? Take C & C Under, no d could finally destroy the power plant with a beacon, wait, thats not a problem, that kicks ass, just eait for it to beep real fast, then run into the power plant, wow. does the blue beam from the ion cannon move as the cahracter moves, cause i can see a massive lagg problem for us 56kers there

if a tank that is made it detroys you the beacon will be there and will be active and it will be toolate to disarm it.

No, it doesn't. Once the little blue sprites begin to appear in the air, the ion cannon attack zone is decided, even if the beacon is still moving. Same thing goes for the nuke; once you see that bomb in the sky, the landing place has been chosen. If you think this tactic is fun, try placing a beacon on an enemy harvester. If you time it right, it'll detonate while the harvester is dropping it's payload and obliterate the enemy refinery...and they won't know what hit em =)

guys today I placed two beacons(ion) on my team soldiers and they went into an apc and went into the nod base and nod didn't even had time to disarm the ion beacons and they could hear it but it was moving around so do that and you have exactly 30 seconds to get to the nods base and once you did just go into the oblisk and wait till the ion beacon blows up,same with the nuke beacon,
man its fun just do it, put it on your team made's back and go with them into the gdi's base then blow them up, this was my idea,
and nobody else new about it.  :cool
LIAR! You can NOT place beacons on anything that moves. If you jump on a vehicle, for instance, it just hovers in the air! And how can you "place beacons on teammates"? The beacon is placed directly under your feet, so you can't place it on someone unless you're standing on them (Which is, of course, impossible). Even if the beacon COULD move while placed, it would probably hit where it was orgionally placed. DON'T lie to us, it only makes you look like a n00b and a f00.

You can as a Tech or Hotwire place Proxy C4 on Team Mates or vehicles and it will kill Enemys. (Only do this if Friendly fire is off) You will get some funny reactions from people when you do this but it does work. Placing it on team members it's great if they are in close combat. I like to use a few proxies on the bumpers of my vehicles too. This helps get the ones who are too fast to squish and the ones who hide behind a rock or wall. People don't realize what hit them. I even get a few luck kills by placing timed c4 on freindlys that are going in to the enemy base or tunnels. When or if they get killed it just drops on the ground and goes off anyway.

I've dropped a beacon in our base right before the big rush on their base. It gets those tech - hotwire - engineers out of the buildings and looking for a beacon they'll never find. That way they are not repairing the building (Gaurd tower or Obilisk or Whatever your target is). Makes it so much easier to take outthe entire base. You get 60 seconds before most of them figure it out!
Of course this tactic is not for games with friendly fire on. The strike on your own base does no damage if FF is off.
This is pshycological warfare at its best.[ April 11, 2002: Message edited by: Frontrunner ]
