You can say it could be spammed, but any feature of the game can be spammed. This way you're not cutting off the arm of the innocent engineer merrily placing mines. Or maybe it's just a bug with the marker deal . . .

I thought it was normal that an engineer can only place one marker?
As far as I remember I was never able to put 2 mine markers - I had to beg the commander to do that for me.

Good thing I wasn't the only one. This kinda inhibits warning people if you're mining multiple pathways.

Like:
- Make the ground near the mines red so they are easier to spot from a same team.
- As squad leaders can make rally points, why cant engineers make signs for minefields?
- If its damn hard to make sign objects, even a minefield marker on your map would help a lot. (Like you can see all the rallypoints, just change the icon to mine marker)

This is very simple and basic stuff... But is it going to happen, probably not.

Can't believe no one responded to this yet, you can place a map marker for mines, just hold q with a mine in hand.

a driver CAN move the mine though.... shoot and prone and "push" it.... so.. the driver, if they look for mines, can SEE mines............ and MOVE mines.....

though the engineer SHOULD get the TK if they HADNT marked it... =/

plus: Commorose: Press Q while holding a mine (press 9) and mark it BEFORE you place the mine.....

you have to MARK the mine THEN place the mine =/

i said that its no one's fault. sometimes shit happens, like maybe an engineer places a mine, but the driver has the map up and doesnt get the warning, or something like that.

well you really should avoide mines altogether. I think US and chinese are the same mine. I believe more discepline should be added to the careless driver. However there are idiots who intentially put them to block, such as the front gates of basra airport, so if the punish is set to the driver, that could be a problem be exploited.

i believe mines should not count for score to begin with as they are not direct use weapons, mines are set and left till someone steps on it, everything else is you see the guy then blow his freakin head off with it.

You could apply that to any other none combat task, in that case you shouldn't get points for healing, building, throwing ammo etc. Laying mines is a vital task to help your team sometimes, and should be rewarded, especially considering that being engineer doesn't give you the best equipment when you get into a scrap; no scope, no grenades etc.

I've got alot of respect for people that go engineer in infantry squads, I don't think they need any credit taking away from them.
