Sometimes when ^^ lays a beacon, he keeps his stealth throughout, when it should expose him and re-stealth him after 5 seconds when the beacon is finished arming. It's a relatively small error, and I'm unsure if it happens only when Nod players are looking at him (because y'know, when did you last come across a stealthed soldier laying a beacon?).

In case you say it, it never appears to you that you've kept your stealth. But I watch them lay beacons and their suits don't uncover. Maybe just a client side error that tells you wrongly that they didn't uncover.

I actually discovered to my knowledge this error later on today after I was placing a nuke on top of the WF with a SBH. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I noticed myself being uncloaked when I threw a timed c4 AFTER I placed the nuke seemed kinda odd. So its kinda funny you bring this up.
Plz Fix Razz

At the same time, why does it sound like everyone hears the nuke beacon deploy sound but only a few hear the ion cannon beacon deploy sound?

OK, I confused myself when writing that but I remember something odd about the sounds.

YARR! The pirate life is for me!

Nuclear Strike Beacon sounds are 2D, not 3D. That's what causes it. 2D allows everyone to hear it.

I am happy to know that... I was looking for a way so not everyone in a game heard "level <number> security key recured"(can't spell that word)

I wonder if that was deliberate? In Tiberian Dawn you got the audible warning "nuclear missile launched" for the nuke, but the Ion Cannon always came out of nowhere. It makes sense since it's not going to show up on radar, like a missile being launched from a silo somewhere.

There was no warning for the Ion Cannon.

I also found this out for myself yesterday. On field (AGT was down), a SBH tryed to place a beacon behind our bar. I saw him running there, but just let him deploy for the points. When I got behind the bar, I saw the beacon, being placed, but I didn't immediatly see the SBH.

Untill yesterday I always thought SBH's uncloack when placing a beacon (kind of sad playing this game from the beginning but just now discovering this).

Size doesn't matter.
