mine time-out

[phantomsquirrel]

there was a thread on here about disappearing mines that made me think of this.

lets say, for example, i spawned engineer at hill in mashtuur city. i drop my mines at the top of the ramp, and head out towards backyard. on my way there, i get shot and die. i respawn back at hill, but this time as a medic. as i run towards backyard again, i still see my at mines sitting on the ramp. but at some point, they all disappear. i believe this also happens even if i stay engineer, but i don't drop any more mines (i know you have a limit of 5 mines on the ground at once).

so is it true that there is a time-out for at mines (and maybe claymores too) like if they are on the ground, they disappear after 5 minutes or something? again, this is keeping in mind that i do NOT lay anymore mines and no engineer wrenches them up.

Re: mine time-out

It's when the kit you left behind after dying disappears.

Yes, the mines disappear about 30 seconds after you die... unless when you respawn and pick up your old kit if you can. I've kept 4 clays alive at TV on Sharqi by having 2 sniper kits and switching back and forth between them.

lol i do the same with my c4 and claymores

one time i was playing against a very good team as commander defending the last base in karkand on 64 size

they were all traveling together in the apc and tanks

i had c4 in all the strategic places around the flag, but before i could detonate it i was killed
luckily i was able to respawn before they could take the flag
i went in unnoticed threw c4 on an apc and tank, blew them, ran and grabbed my old kit and blew the rest

i had to get at least 10 kills and still saved the flag, too bad i was commander

Re: mine time-out

^^ i did the same on a chopper

i got 2 C4's on it, then got killed, i respawned and raced back to my pack, got it and detonated

lets just say the hacking accusations came flying in by 2 certain people
