I think the beaconing the ped is a valid tactic, if you cannot disarm it, then it's your fault that you just lost. One time I was GDI on Walls_Flying, and my team was doing ok, but then my mouse broke, and I had to restart the computer. When I got back on, Nod had whipped our butts, and nothing was left except for the power plant. So I just walked over to the HoN, jumped through the window, and placed my beacon. Everyone thought it was hilarious, except for Nod, they thought it was cheap. I say they should have at least tried to disarm it.

Is cheap on smaller maps, I think. On servers with less than a dozen people on, I wouldn't do it. In clan games, it should be a go, it just adds another dimension to the game. I don't think you would have trouble defending against it in a clan game.

Yeah, I did it today on Volcano, was about 24 people in the server and we had lost our refinery and airstrip... was feeling a little frustrated so decided to go on a hail mary mission. Is very easy to do when the mines in the barracks are gone, and the rest of GDI is out making their assault on your base. Most people usually look on the outside first. Just make sure you throw the timed c4 down... that usually takes care of two guys if they're not careful (and who can when you have a laser rifle firing at you). The rest is just having good aim and not getting yourself killed.
But when you do it, and you've realized that you had a slim chance of winning had you not done that, it just gives you a great adrenaline rush.
I just get very mad when some noob does it on a small server.

Its not cheap.
If you can't defend against it, then its your fault. Ped Beacons are placed inside, so its not like APCs can guard them.
Also when the game reaches a stalemate (often the case on Island) it is neccessary to put a beacon on a pedestal.

In reality a nuclear strike would level about 23 maps worth of ground.
|
a.k.a your entire base....
I think this is kind of the more real part of the game, even the having to place it on a ped makes it weird. Nuking one building and leaving all other buildings intact is the unreal part.

teams down to a single building need the pedestal win.... see, most renegade players will be assholes and shoot the living fuck out of you with ramjets/apcs while you can only get basic characters. these people need a good kick up the arse, whilst the victims need a way to finish the game fast, one way or another.
as far as a nuke taking out only one building, indeed; you might as well have a flying fetus come down from the sky to blow the building up for all the sense it makes.
