PMN mines

[silentfart]

pmn mines are horrible in s3. They might as well stick a flag on top it that says don't step on me...When i was playing fault i saw two mines b/c the red top of the mine is so friggen bright. It's almost impossible to actually step on it anyway. They gotta bring back the s2 mine.

These mines can be fun to use, but it can be a pain getting your team members to remember where you placed them.

I usually place them where there are patches of tall grass (opposing snipers tend to like these areas).

no in socom 3 you can acually walk past a mine and it wont blow up.

I used them all the time in S2 and was very successful with them. But I don't think I have one kill in S3 with them, out of 2000 or so kills. I think they stand out too much now. Someone said people don't expect them or look for them now...and that's right...but only because you don't NEED to look for them. They stand out and are very easy to see.

You can put them around corners in SMALL maps, like antenora or fault. I've gotten a few kills with PMN mines placing them right next to the boxes in antenora around corners.

its definitely not he same as s2. i could put them right next to the doorway n get a kill. but when i try i n like citadel the stick damn near right n the middle of the floor. i've only gotten kills by puttin them on top of bodies, n then maybe.

If you put them on bodies they work pretty good, especially ones who have STG/IW on them cause people stop to pick em up and get blown up. Also, on fault if you can rush down to the South Tunnel and put them in the entrace to the "handle" closest to seal spawn, then go in the little cut out area farther back, jump out and shoot a few rounds with an unsuppresed gun, they will move likely duck in there for cover and boom. :)

I rarely use mines anymore, they can be blown up just by shooting at them, and are too easy to see, I use them in heavy sniper spots though, as these places ussually have alot of ground cover.
