Land mines? (was: What about)

[silent assasin]

What about land mines??? like a secondary weapon, or alt. grenades. You could grab land mine boxes and it would change from four (Or what ever) grenades to that many land mines! Then, you could just lay them wherever.

Please create your threads with more descriptive titles.  "what about" could refer to anything.

Jets > landmines.. and even with no jets, the extremely high jump of a soldat could proably clear them. These have been mentioned dozens of times.. unfortunately I dont think there's much application to them.

Hmm, there could also be the problem if it doesnt kill them instantly, it could boost them INCREDIBLY high and basically let them have their way with your base/homing in on the flag....

1. The only practical place that i'd see landmine placement would be extremely tight spaces...fair
2. On health and grenade boxes...somewhat unfair
3. behind boxes...fair...stupid box campers
4. On your team flag...extremely unfair and most often than not, would be done so by the teams

Normal grenades ARE already land mines, but temporary.

It often happens that if you throw a grenade, the opponent simply jumps over it. The first thing to code when implenting landmines it that they need to be VISIBLE. the worst thing would be to make soldat a luck-game.

What about hiding them behind bushes? Of course they would usually be visible...Many people rush through the maps, they could hit anything. Maybe there would be a way against putting them on flags...Also, people jump from random places, they could easily fall on one!

Mines would just suck.
