Red Square with a Skull?

[whofriggincares]

I know what the red skull means on the ground, but what does the red box with a skull mean thats on the lower right side of the screen? It pops up every once in a while and when it does, I don't see any mines, claymores, or C4 laying around.

That skull comes up when you are near mines. A little pointless when you are near friendly mines, as you can already see them, but when you area near enemy mines it is useful.

Pointless, redundant, and blatantly obvious, yet people still run over them and then punish the TK.

Are you sure about that? I didn't think one got warnings for enemy mines. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've run over a few enemy mines in my time and never noticed any type of visual warning. That would sort of defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

Oh i feel your pain there.

Well I'm not 100% sure. I agree it does defeat the purpose somewhat, but IIRC, that was the way it was in BF1942. Can anyone confirm either way?

No warning for enemy C4, claymores, or AT mines. It works for friendlies though, i just get really annoyed not knowing if i'ts a AT mine, a claymore, or C4, claymores are my biggest threat.

It means you have to press PGDN after you die... somehow it makes you spawn faster and be more 1337 :laugh:

Re: Red Square with a Skull?

Yeah, doesn't it only show up in vehicles? And it's a warning that there are FRIENDLY C4 or Mines nearby (but not in your forward view)
