30 is a good number.. it allows for tactical placement. The game wouldn't be as fun if you had a team of 20 player mine every single square inch of their base/vehicle and themselves. [ May 08, 2002: Message edited by: Kab0om420 ]

Yes, this is a major flaw of the game. Personally, I would like to see the lag get fixed first, adn then this.

This is not a mistake. As Kab0om420 said about how it will not be fun if the whole base was mined. It is good that there is a 30 mine limit for each hotwire/technician, and a team limit as well. So this is not a problem guys it's part of the game and it's a good thing they have that. The lag though, is a problem. Later.

Unlimited mines for a game like this, with FF off = suicide road kill. ever person would have 30 mines on them, so when they get run over they kill the tank. THANK GOD THAT THERE IS A LIMIT!

The 30 mines limit is not for each hotwire/tech. It is for the whole team. And in fact 30 is not counting only mines, it also counts the remote c4's. I feel sick when I see teammates putting mines and/or remote c4's on some other teammate's body and say "He is a kamikaze man...." The mine/c4 limit is not a flaw of the game. There should be such a limit. The laaaaag is in fact a problem, Westwood...

While 30 is a decent number, I'd like 40 instead. That way you could effective mine your buildings but still have some extras left for more unique and interesting places. You can't even place 5 at every doorway, and 5 won't prevent a group of enemies from getting inside. Yep.. I think 40 would be a nice number.

The whole 30 mines per team thing only applys if I'm on your team. How this got to be such a big issue is beyond me If I'm not on your team place as many as you like. Stack them 6 deep and they work like a beacon put them in the dumbest places you can find and remember put atlest 30 in one building

I think that the limet fo Proxy mines should be 35 and that is NOT remote C4 or timed C4... there should be a limet of 10 Remote C4 and timed C4

apply mines as the situation fits. If an entrance is covered by the guard tower don't place 'em there.

The flaw is that when you set new mines, the old ones disappear. What usually happens is that some eager beaver wet-behind-the-ears tech throws them all at the front of the base. Meanwhile, all the mines set in the tunnels go up in smoke. Then a stealth black hand comes with a beacon and B00M, up goes your power plant. This is a flaw of the game, along with the set beacon and quit trick and the lag.
