Thor Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Many of you may not know me that well. But back in the day when I competed (long before I became a league Admin), I built up quite a reputation as a defensive engineer and was well known for my uncanny abilities for planting land mines. Those that have known me for a while ( 2 or more years) have accused me of haxing land mines. I do have to admit that mines are my favorite way to frag and I have made an art of it over the years. So I am submitting some of my all time favorite screen shots to let you decide, does Thor! have land mine hax? Now, either Engi or, for haxing mines You decide. Quote

NoGooD Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Thor, I give you props man. One of my favorite complaints on ET is listening to people b*** about how "noob" landmines are. Especially after you get a spree on them and they stop playing. Landmines are the gift that keeps on giving..even if your not around. Quote
Thor Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 One of my favorite complaints on ET is listening to people b*** about how "noob" landmines are. Especially after you get a spree on them and they stop playing. Land mines are anything but noob if you are good with them. The problem with mines is that there are really not many people who really know how to strategically plant them. In ETPro leagues you are only allowed to have mines in 6v6 and none in 3v3 and you are limited to only 5 mines in comp, sometimes just 4 depending on which league you are competing in. Most of the times land mines are very predictable as far as where most people plant them and they tend to "clump" a large group of land mines in one area, that is There should not be more than 2 land mines within a 10 foot radius of each other for starters, any more mines than that is just a waste of a valuable resource. And planting all your mines at the obj you are defending is also a waste of a good land mine. Land mines should be planted as far forward as possible (the front lines where you will confront your enemy). This will damage your enemy prior to them coming into contact with you or your team and make it easier to shoot them as you don't have to do as much damage to kill them. If you plant them all the way back at your obj you are defending then your enemy will reach you at full health and will be harder to kill. If you go down and they pass you then you are relying on the mines as a last resort defense, this = fail. Most players will anticipate mines being planted there and will generally avoid the mines. Another very good strat for land mines is to learn where the most commonly used tj's are and plant your mines where a tjer will land. If you are playing on a pub server and your battle sense is up all the way you will notice that when you get close enough you can "spot" a land mine. Well, when tjing you cannot "spot" the mine from where you start the tj and once you are in the air it is too late to avoid a mine if they are planted where you are about to land. Around corners where players commonly travel is another good place to plant mines also, so when someone runs around a corner he is generally blinded and cannot see very far ahead until he/she rounds the corner, by then it is too late to react if a mine is there. The best places for mines are the ones that will be blown rather quickly. Those spots you want to keep replanting mines at until your enemy get's wise to you or changes their route. Then you relocate your mines to a new spot. And planting mines in the same place is not always good, a smart enemy will get wise to this and adjust his/her game to avoid those mines. If you have a mine that has been sitting idle for a long period of time this generally means the enemy is aware of it and it should be moved. If you keep these things in mind when planting land mines you should see better results, although it does take practice and good knowledge of the map. Some maps are better than others for fragging with mines and some maps are not good at all for land mine frags. So for those of you who are engis out there, keep those lil flags flying and happy fragging. Quote
