I want to make sure everyone knows how to use mines right!

THE BASICS OF MINEING


First look to see if the server has a custom mine limit. Than divide by how many buildings there are to see how many you can put in each one. Leave about 5 mines off for people to throw C4's and such. If you have a remainder put it in the base defense building or the next most important one.

-DO NOT PUT ALL THE MINES RIGHT AT THE DOOR!
This seems like a good idea at fist but as soon as one guy walks in and gives his life for the other 3 technicians you will see this is bad.

-DO NOT MINE YOU'RE BASES ENTRANCE!
This is the dumbest thing ever. A vehicle is not going to be destroyed by running over a few mines and it wastes mines that could otherwise be in a building. Cant stress this enough. Unless all you're enemy has lift is infantry and no vehicles than don't do this.

-Place mines all over
Place mines in the mist likely path a enemy will take through the building. Also near the MCT and on the MCT are great places as they will more than likely head for that than run into it to toss there C4.


HOW TO AVOID MINES


-RUSHING?
If you are doing a rush bring someone as a basic character and have them run in first to set off all the mines that they can. If noone is around do you're best to disarm mines. Also a good thing to try is to set off some mines with you're APC or whatever you are driving.

-RUNNING UP TO A MINE THAN JUMPING BACK!
I don't think this actually helps?

-SEUECID TO HELP YOU'RE TEAM!
Try to take out as many mines as you can, take a quick look at where they are most concentrated and go for it!

Thats all I got for now.

i get very annoyed when i see people mine but they do it so mines are very compacted together. it doesn't work. i tend to wallhug the building to the door. they blow up and i walk straight in.

i mine pretty spaced out. but in a way that they wouldn't get far in the door before they have all blown up.

I prefer to use 4 or 5 mines spaced out like the 4 + 5 dots on the dice.

Just remember that overlapping mines lose strength as they blow up.

Not really. In public games I tend to start mining the tunnels when there's like 4 or 5 enemy 1000 snipers and/or gunners in it, just to annoy them. It's funny how one hotwire/technician can keep them all busy.

how does that mean they can't play with infantry?

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Mining the tunnels is a great tactic if you're bad at Renegade, but I don't know why you'd do it if you were good.

if there are alot of mines in the tunnels just get a sniper to cover you and start disarming them. 12 mines = 360 points

Such irrationality! Tunnel mining is the best way stop combined assaults...especially from GDI in Field.

There is like 4-5 RSO's or Gunners ganging up on the AS and/or the OB from the tunnel.
Watch this (from exactly 3:19 - 4:04) to see what I am talking about. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-1123981396740096305&q=renegade

Not only are they strong together but they are also racking up points. And it's hard for infantry to dispatch them all (except Mendoza) cause the rockets cause incredible splash damage. So, the best way is to mine that corner ASAP.

Remember, all is fair in war.


if you're any good with a sniper you're gonna do a hell of a lot better with one versus a bunch of gunners than trying to mine that area of the tunnel while they eat your tech alive with splash damage (because of how close you'd have to get). anyway, I don't really have a problem with mining the tunnel entrances to one's base for defensive purposes; it's when people start mining the rest of the tunnel that I get pissed off.
