Dont go on u own mines.....simple.. No, I know exactly what he's talking about. It doesn't happen b/c you step on them. It happens immediately after your done arming the mine. It jumps up in your face and kills you giving you no time to back away. I always figured it was b/c I was a noob at arming mines, but glad to see I'm not the only noob at mines here. j/k I think it's a bug though, and it happens randomly and is sometimes difficult to repeat. It seems to be more about where the mines are placed on the map. I've seen it to where you can arm a mine in one spot..it jumps up and kills you. You do a little bit over and it's buisness as usual.

Yammy Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 It is quite possible that he is stepping on them. However, it is also possible that the team has already placed the maximum amount of mines. Quote

It is possible, but I know that ET certainly thinks your stepping on them. I've tried to arm mines laying down, stretched out as far as you can go..as well as standing up reaching out til you have to almost step fwd to arm. The second you finishes arming, it jumps up in the air..gives you a smooch and blows your head off. Again, it's possible, but I've seen what he's talking about before, although it's been awhile since i've had any problems with it. Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted January 8, 2009 Administrators Posted January 8, 2009 Anyone of you play at FOV 120? I used to be mine whore a while back and scored 64 kills with mines only! In oasis all i used to do is plant s-mines and piss of adrenaline medic whores. I have never had any problem with mines somehow. Quote
F257 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 i have a simlair problem to swat's in that i plant but if i stay too long there it sorta picks up on my proxiimty and blows up. i can defuse it but eh... Quote

Administrators RainierWolfcastle Posted January 10, 2009 Administrators Posted January 10, 2009 interesting. Are you sure the opposing team has not discovered and revealed your landmines as you are laying them down? Sometimes that happens where I set up mines, and as I trip on one nearby, all explode cuz someone has revealed the landmines, so they all blow up on me! Quote
