First of all, I will admit I’m guilty of not always reading the changelogs.
With that said, I’d like to know why I can’t cancel arming a mine anymore by clicking with my mouse button (firing). I can still cancel placing a sentry this way. And building a Micro UAV.
Is this a bug or a feature?
What he means is going back to your gun. You have to deselect the mine for that, which is annoying when suddenly coming under fire. Mouse1 really should bring up your gun.
Agreed 100%, this has caused me to die more than once and would be a welcome feature.

Well the thing is, this used to be possible. But I’m not really certain when this was removed. Or why, even.
Would love to see it back!

I never noticed that but it surely would be great to make possible again. The “whoops planting mines wont win firefights” death is one of the most annoying things beside the “whoops hanging in the CP for another second” death. How is it with other deployables like the medisc’s HRU?
It happened with the June 6 patch, and yes they should fix it. Like Metal-Geo says, similar abilities still work the same way (also operative hacking), so I don’t think this was an intentional change made in that patch.
Since my favorite class is Engineer I find this quite frustrating as well. The game mechanics should stay consistent across Classes/Abilities.
When I’m performing any task that takes time to complete, I should be able to instantly cancel that task to engage approaching threats by clicking my fire button.
