Spider Mines Yey or nay?

[Zax_Gentoo_Box]

I'm not saying I particulary like mines, just that they're part of the games. And I wasn't here when the unplayable out of the box ONS maps were here, and if the raptors and cicadas are still overpowered then my definition of 'power' is kinda high...

I used to absolutely despise them, but now that I know how to properly use them in ONS comp they are quite useful.

I agree with Bean, Zax, and Urtho. On large maps or vehicle heavy maps yes, on the rest either eliminate or lower the round count. For example, 6 mines is an adequate amount to create a mine manta or defend an area - I cannot see a need for more than that in the "infantry" heavy maps.

- Who says laying a Spider mine does not require of Skill - I have killed myself alot with them while just layin 'em - 32 players with 10 mines each might become 'anoying' for players and machines -

Yes location is usually a good question. Look at dreamus2, then try to find apex. :compress:

I love killing people doing that,cuz they're usually on a killing spree. I also like doing that when we got 'em down to the core, cuz it racks up a bunch of points very fast.

A fully loaded Spider Manta rapes a tank and is just downright evil. Really my favorite use for mines. Also like to cruise a fully loaded Spider Manta over ground troops with and see who dies . Sure, it's not as effective as crushing them, but it's a helluva alot funnier.

They're good for covering your ass if you're :snipe:. They're good in hidden/surprising spots.

Other than that, there's nothing weaker than seeing someone running at you with the "Mine Layer blazing". I always thought they were called Parasite mines because they suck the skill from those who rely on them.

I like the spider mines ok they annoy the hell out of you when you run into a busy area and there all over the place but youll get over it right ?

As before leave them in, maby fewer of them but keep em. :blackeye:

[DW_Bomzin]

keep the mines lower the count and loose the nukes.

If they dont cause to much lag and there not being exploited (think that was patched out) there helpful. I use them to tell me if there is someone in an area I planted say a spawn node etc.

I do also feel they fool with aim bots aimming even though I know there no cheaters here at all.
