New, Cool thing learned about the mine! : Othor Games

If you step on a mine and you keep moving you will be killed (to my knowledge from videos). But what i am certain of is that if you step on a mine and stop, the mine will only click and wont explode until you move, you have to get a engineer to get to your location to disarm it. i think this is an AMAZING way to portray mines, giving the player a chance to not die!

I'll LOVE that if it's legit. Surviving a mine based on how fast you can react and your cognition? Epicness right there. :intergalactic:

The thing is, will an engineer make it before your shot down. Mines well commit suicide. Then again, no one doessn't want that. Hahaha.

Seem's cool, as long as they dont blow up prematurely like with the claymores in cod. Can't tell you how many times i've seen someone run right through my claymore

This game just gets better and better from what these developers have done. If this game plays half as good as I think it will it will still be awesome.

What if I choose to shoot the mine instead?

It will blow up don't worry but you will blow up too...
Also i wonder if the Engineer who set the mine down will be notified if his mine was disarmed.
think so?

And all of a sudden I felt a rush of stupidity and humiliation coursing through my veins. Thanks for the source.

No I mean as an engineer who decides to approach the damsel in distress?

I'm tempted to do it just to see the guys reaction

.

But then this also digs into some other questions.

If a friendly destroys a mine that you are standing on will it deal friendly damage, normal damage, or no damage when there isn't friendly fire on?

Is the engineer who placed the mine originally able to detonate the mine by firing at it? That may come useful when you find someone just standing on your mine and waiting for an enemy engineer to come over to remove it.

yea it was in the new vid today, but is it really a OHK? i thought it was only concussive?

» Wed Aug 18, 2010 11:08 pm

Hopefully you will have enough time to react in order to stop yourself from stepping off but i think that is a good way to balance mines since it will make having either an op, medic, or engineer near you at all times to help you out further promoting team play and cutting back on lone wolfs because after enough times of being trapped you will have to learn.

OH!
my bad
probably just approach the mine carefully, theres probably a generous range for the disarming and it only explodes if you get off.... IDEA
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO PEOPLE STEP ON A MINE???

It might knock you down if you are light armor, but you can still be revived by a medic.

Yeah as soon as I saw that in the video I said "BAD F****** A**!!" and my girlfriend asked what had gotten me so excited. I explaind it to her and how in most games they arnt accurate as to how a mine behaves when its triggered...she didnt share my enthusiasm. <_<

You do draw up some good questions there!
1. i would think that it would do damage to the enemy players around it but with the person shooting it the friendly fire thing is a tricky thing
2. I want to say yes.
Now i wonder if friendly engineers will be notified of the epidemic, i would think so, and i wonder if the enemy engineer will be notified that his mine was defused, telling him that whatever he's guarding is in jeopardy.

TO VERIFY: There is an AUDIBLE CLICK when stepping or running through a mine

Yep, imagine the dread of stepping on one and being like OH SNAP!

What happens if you are an engineer? Are you mine-proof?

» Wed Aug 18, 2010 6:33 pm

I would say no, since operatives are the ones who spot mines, to any other class it would be invisible

If you noticed that you stepped on it in time to stop yourself from stepping off.

» Thu Aug 19, 2010 1:28 am

Cool, just like in real-life, once you step on a landmine, you have to step off for it to explode.

» Wed Aug 18, 2010 3:08 pm

Kinda odd ho they developed cloak technology for their mines, but not for any of the troopers.

» Wed Aug 18, 2010 5:08 pm

I also like the fact that once the mine is spoted, it can be simply shot by any class to be destroyed
