This "useful" tactic can be used to destroy the hand of nod. Take any tank and a beacon and drive over to the HON park the tank right next to the entrance slopes. Go up onto the slopes and jump from one onto your tank, when on it deploy your beacon. Get in the tank and drive off, leavnig it floating in mid-air. This is a useful(ish) trick as it can confuse people as to the where-abouts of the beacon and is also slightly harder to difuse.

Personly I dont think it would be too hard to disarm... Its flooting about in the middle of the base... only n00bs wouldn't see it... wait good play since 90\% of the people I play against/with are n00bs. (please forgive any bad spelling i'm very tired)

Floating C4 at the door is a lot more useful than this. The floating C4 and knock most units down to red and They cannot aviod getting a explosion at head height.

Are you kidding? That is far easier to see/disarm than if had put somewhere inside. In addition, it takes more effort to get it there.

That's really the most obvious place I've ever seen. BTW - did anyone else notice that he made this topic on April 2nd? Why the hell would someone bump this? Maybe he just edited the message.

No, can't you see the edits are labeled April 2nd and April 4th, I think we should blame AnarmEof1 ,no?

I used the console command in MP practice, put a chameleon under the Hand window, jumped on, set a nuke beacon, then drove the tank away and sat underneath in 1st person view. I wanted a up close of what being in a nuke blast looked like. The computer lagged, and I died in a flash of light, and saw the legs of my corpse sitting in the cloud. You all have to try it someday. It's a fun waste of time (try this in MP, not in a regular game)

You know MP is no specific word. Some people mean multiplayer and others mean multiplayer practice, I think everyone should say which one they mean to avoid misunderstandings.

This is old news. I've done it before myself. This works for both beacons. Beacons are the only thing that can't be placed on a moving object. I've tried it by placing one on my own vehicle. I thought I could place one on my APC and time it just right so that it would go off when I get myself parked next to the Oblisk or another structure. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I tried placing it on another person... same thing. Oh well, a good idea gone bad.
