Yes - you got that right -
your entire team can only lay down 30 proximity mines - TOTAL.
when you lay the 31st one - the 1st mine laid will *poof* go up in smoke.
and so on....
Plus - those remotes you toss? (not the timed C-4) - count toward this limit.
So - if you think its funny to toss 15 remotes on the ground to see a big boom after someone mined the base - you might of just erased 15 proximity mines....
Good rule of thumb - announce that your laying mines - and keep the total base mine count to under 20 - that way - your sapping engineers/techs/hotties can use the rest to remote a MCT...

Yeah, I have spent entire games going building to building re-mining the right way because some idiot keeps putting all 30 by base entrance hoping to maybe get an apc or tank with them... grrrrrr......

how do you mine???? wHICH CARACTERS???
|
same thing as above - hit 30 - they start erasing.
(timed c-4 is NOT counted toward the 30 limit)
|
Is this a fact? I was told timed, prox and remote are all under the 30 limit umbrella.

StoneRook has a point. It is all too often that someone new to the RENEGADE world goes Mine happy and throws a dozen at a time. But what is perhaps the worst thing of all of this is the STACKING.
Sure it seems like a good idea. HAve all six mines set in a nice row, kill any moron foolish enough to walk into your base. BUT, if thoose morons travel in packs your little line will at best take out two.
It is far better to set the mines in stratigic geometric patterens relative to the given building being mined. Rows by PowerPlant doors. Triangels by the Refinery MCT. Squares for Pedastals and Barracks/Hand MCT's. Head level Triads in the Wep.Factory/Airstrip. And most importantly DIAGENAL LINES IN THE GAURD TOWER AND OBELISK.
Of course where the given mines go is strictly determined by the map, after all gaurding a KEY CHOKE POINT is far more vital then simply seting a last chance defence.
FYI any who are truly skilled will covert to PLANETSIDE come the 20th. Long Live the Republic. :twisted:

This is the reason I never mine, cause someone with no clue will always come along and lay their own mines making mine disappear. Even if I say "I'm mining the base leave it to me" I will walk around and see 2 other techs laying mines so why bother..

Another good rule to remember, don't JUST lay mines, lay them efficiently!
For examply with back door of ref:
Lay mines alongside the right hand side of the door from inside. Lay 2-3 dummy mines so they can disarm. They will think thats all that was there, and run straight into the other mines.
Try to lay mines where they can't disarm with ease, they will most likely run into them.
Also (this is pretty n00by) DO NOT mine anywhere where enemies can't get to!!
example: Barracks on C&C_City.

The mine limit was institued to cut lag and to keep the teams from placing so many mines that entering a base would be impossible. Remotes are tied into the limit for a similar reason.
|
Did Westwood placed the mine limit after interesting beta experiences with 1000s of mines placed everywhere? :twisted:

I lay mines to door edges, 3 mines per door.
When the door is closed, it looks like it's there's no mine.
When the door opens, you can see the mine but usually it's too late as you had already walked through the door and the mines explode.
BOOM *Boink*
2 mines are hidden, one is visible on the floor.
