5 great spots to put mines in crossroads!!

1. Both sets of stairs leading to the the redroom.

2. Fish Market doorways and stairs.

3. In the base, back door, stairs, both garage doors.

4. The shadows of the ramp and next to the ramp.

5. Nekt to the brige in case of a quick plant.

That's what I think are the best spots!!

my fav spots on crossroads...and dont you dare blow them up if your playin against me since you know now... :?


1. ok most ppl put a mine right at the bottom back door of wher eyou plant bomb but if you really wanna be tricky put it on edge of shadow after you come through it. usually gauranteed kill cause they just run in when they dont see one at door where one usually is at

2.peice of wood beside where you plant bomb.if you plant on it you cant see it, like it drop through, usually geat spot for those who just run in.

3.right against wall beside turret....now this is a classic one, i mean its obvious but you always have that point ***** on the seals who trys and be slick and run beside turret and drop down, well he has a surprise BAM!!!

4.on the ramp itself headin down to base, place one in the top right shadow part of it, you really cant see it and you can get that stragler runnin through nervously hopin not to get sniped.

5.also a few good places is in shadow around outside bottom of wher eyou plant bomb at terr place, depends on if they are nading the bomb place heavy though.

6.on road from spawn wher eyou can go up stairs there there are 2 wicker baskets, plant one right beside them, almost gauranteed kill most ppl run rigth by them and the mine blends in great rigth there.

7.also on top of fishmarket near bridge you can run across/drop down from plant mines in the shadow areas all where the seals come up the stairs (this great spot after all nades have been hurled at yo azz up their :P )

8.fishmarket alleyway is great place, good places are right at where you come out from it towards terr spawn inthe shadow, then one up against corner wall wher eyou can run through that open space to go get into the bottom room of fishmarket.then at other end of alley where it comes out into the courtyard, you know the lil wall to the left you can run around well put a mine where they come out, nice place.

9.red room stairs usually work well and inside red room before you go through door into it put one on the shadow next to box.

10.also good place is red room alleyway wher eyou come out on their side. all that shadow area is nice mineage spots, especially right when you come out of redroom and go right put one where shadow is and road starts blends in great.



once again if youve played any amount of worthwhile time on socom these are all old and known but soem arent used as often as they could be (go for me and my kills though )

if your new try these spots along with what otherslist and you will start havinthat "mine" eye and spot all sorts of places on cross and all maps in general.

Yeh i love the one on the plank of wood near the bomb plant.

Other good ones are near the terror spawn were you drop down (outside the base), and in the corners were defending seals would hide.

Though some great mines, especially when your outnumbered what you do you rush the seal base (hoping to god there not camping - but if your outnumbered their probably not) and mine it up just put some in random places seals arnt alert in their own base. Then you have to grab the bomb and go and hide somewere. As they start going back you should get some nice kills.

In the terrorist base, don't put a mine at the top doorway. Instead, put it at the very bottom of the stairs in the base floor, NOT ON THE STAIRS. Seals nade the doorway, think it's safe, go down the stairs, see nothing, and once they think they're safe... BOOM!!!

Put them against everywall that you run against to avoid being sniped. Also the stairs of the seals base an when you plant the bomb lay tons of mines down.

Those spots aren't that good. Most people know 'em by now. If you plant mines, plant 'em in different places [But good places] every round. Don't put 'em in the same spots all the time. People will figure it out sooner or later. If you put 'em in different places every round, they won't expect it. You don't have to constantly be puttin' 'em in different places EVERY round, but change it up every now n' then.
