Defusing them is another thing...

But on topic, like I said, mines are my choice weapon. They can't disarm them, and they can't get around them. It's a stealth stopper.

Multiple coordinated stealths with engi backup... oh brother..

Maybe built-in building defenses like in tribes? Each building had a small cannon mounted inside that needed to be destroyed before you could do anything (without being killed in the process). They weren't terribly strong, but they could keep a group of invaders busy for at least 5-10 vital seconds . We've all seen an enemy APC rush a building we're nowhere near and said to ourselves, "There isn't a da mn thing I can do and that building is dead......". Unless they all hit my mines at the same time .
