Season 2 - laying of land mines.

Hey All,

Since Release of Season 2: 

So they stopped you laying mines. Yeahhhh you cant lay mines until the current zone is ACTIVE - but if you notice the the ENEMY side Tanks / Snipers / Infantry can still continue to fire / attack / throw granades and kill you regardless. 

Your standing there with a mine in your hands ready to protect the zone - and by the time the zone is active and you try to lay the mines down... the tank is already right in in front of you... and your already deaddddd.

Its crap - you need to put this back as it was. It wasnt a problem. It didnt need changing.

If you are going to stop the defending team from laying mines to defend then you also have to stop the attacking team from moving forward/attacking/shooting until the zone is active. Its gotta be fair 50/50. By the way this on Breakthrough as thats normally what I tend to play. I am unsure if its the same on others but suspect it is.

A similar issue has also been mentioned here:

Enemy mines in spawn. | EA Forums - 13183648

By all means stop people laying mines in the HQ - but I really didnt have a problem with that in Seaosn 1. If I didnt see or remove a mine -- that was my fault - regardless of its location. 

Anway what ever you do to fix this - its gotta be fair between the teams. Just saying... :)

Kind Regards,

KingKenny

  • I do think that this should be rolled back. It feels almost necessary to be able to lay mines while retreating, to hold back enemies while the rest of the defending team are getting set up for the next push. 

    I think that it might still be possible with SLAMs (same as how the EOD bot can be used to lay mines out of bounds and in enemy HQs), but I need to remember to test in case I imagined that. 

    Edit: Only had enough time after work for a super quick test, but it might be worth playing around with the SLAMs. I was able to lay them while OOB in the first sector, and could drop them during the retreat too. Wish I'd had the time to remind myself if the regular mines can be dropped OOB, but I'll try to remember to fiddle more.
