"Go over there, repair this and that, mine something or another, plant C4 on this or that."

There, you're done.

so shallow to one of the under used chareters in the game imho

i have spent most of my time playin repair man and stayed in the bases

If I'm playing as Engineer I tend to start out as a field medic/mechanic and get points that way and then if we are being attacked stay back at the base later in the game. It depends on the momentum of the game though.

I also mine the MCT's sometimes but it depends who is on your team, sometimes you have teammates who are proxy mine crazy, so it is not worth the effort to place them as they disappear soon after.

Its usually those games you lose so if you do a good job you may only lose a couple points. If your team wins it usually means the other side attacked less so if you were back at the base the whole time you won't get many points.

Getting a good rank means nothing. All it means is you had some skill, and happened to be in the right place at the right time. MVP in Renegade means nothing. All it signifies is the person who got the most points, not who was actually the most valueable player in the match.

The man disarming the beacon in the base is just as important as the person who plants the beacon in the opposing base.

If you think your the best just cuz you get MVP more then any other player, you coudln't be any more wrong.

And one more thing, how powerful is C-4 vs various targets i.e. infantry, tank, light structure (sam, guard tower), and heavy structure (outside not panel if you ever did so).

c4 is strong if u place it on vehicles and near infantry!

c4 almost does no dmg to a building when placed on its outside! (no sams in mp)

i think 2 c4 take a turret

I don't know if this is tactful..since it does hurt your allies as well.

But with Technicians MORE IS NOT BETTER hehe. If it takes 3-4 C4 to destroy a building why do they lay down 5 prox mines next to each other in a row. To beat that I just make a throw away car, run into the tunnel and jump on them.. Bam 5 mines gone. Instead why not place 2 or 3 next to each other in the center of the ramp at regular intervals outside of prox range? That way they have to spend the time running back to hit the next set. If you are a savvy technician you will notice that you got a kill. Go back and refresh.

The other thing I like to do is setup an easily passed decoy prox setup. And because I know exactly how they are going to "sneak" past them, I can setup their doom where they weren't looking.

I have gotten loads of kills with that technique. I ranked 9 in a 32 player game and most of those kills were Technician kills. Of course it helps when it is a big game and people are accessing the tunnels all the time. It kept putting a smile on my face as I sat right outside the tunnel, heard a big explosion followed by <X> killed so-and-so, only to set the trap again and BOOM <X> killed so-and-so. You'd think they learn.
