Team mine limit

(OmegaRed) #1

I am getting really annoying at the set mine limit for the team. One time my teamate set 9 mines around the east gate leaving one for the west and none for the main door or the side wall breach, so why cant seperate players have mine limits like every player only gets to lay 3 mines.

think about a war game. then u must have 4 engys to lay out 10 mines.

This wouldnt work.

You have a 10 mine limit and to me that as to be left alone.

The closest way it would get to work in this way u have suggested is if there was 3 engineers on your team but even that would allow only 9 mines to be planted.

If you had lets say 2 engineers to your team this would allow only 6 mines to be planted or 1 engineer would allow you only to have 3 mines.

And what if theres is over 3 engineers ,i dont see over 3 engineers in one team often but it can happen and will happen,this would still mean its the first to start planting.

To me having a 3 mine limit is really restricting the enginners ,having 3 mines to plant hardly covers much ground when it comes to some objectives and would be frustrating IMO,the incident u have given us doesnt happen that often and it might be that someone new at the engineer role as been trying out land mines for the first time and just planted them stupidly

IMO the land mines are fine as they currently stand and in many hours of play as engineer i havnt seen anything to change my opinion on this.

imagine a 32 player server. axis could plant 48 mines… or a 64 player server… that would be 96 mines for axis…

no, i think 10 per side is more than enough :smiley:

An engineer can disarm team/enemy mines as well. Simply move them yourself from one gate to the other.

There should be a cvar so admins can set max mines allowed per team.

Why don’t we set the mine limit like we set a time limit, have the server set it, and votes can be passed to change it if needed. :slight_smile:

Or, as he stated before : the engineer on his team most likely made a big mistake : the east gate for one is a very important walking area, and easily covered :

And if some engineer decided to protect his precious lil’ land with 9 out of 10 teammines : I think defusing 'a few won’t help ya here :
This is the part in which you dedicate yourself for the team :

Jump on the mines :)) Boing-boing boing BOOOOM
