    I know this has been talked about a lot...

    ...but I am SO freaking tired of friendlies running over my mines. I was playing Wake Island today and got 3 mine tks ATLEAST, meanwhile, didn't kill a single enemy. And no, I didn't put them in somewhere stupid like where they'd be impossible for a friendly to see but easy for an enemy to see. I did just the opposite, but jeez, I could go on a mushroom trip and see things which made more since than what was happening on Wake. Even if there was some kind of mine seeing hack the enemy was using it still wouldn't explain why more friendlies were running over my mines than enemies. They weren't punishing, thank god, (though it may have been a non-punishment server) but it was getting so ridiculous I actually said "Next person who runs over my mines I will teamkill, I don't care if you punish me or not." I actually didn't plan to do this, but threats were about my only option left.

    It just makes no sense what so ever. And it didn't used to be this way. Friendlies used to run over your mines, but not as much as enemies. But it seems like all those who I'm fighting against have learned to spot out mines while all those I play with haven't.

    I think it's people pressing ALT accidently as this turns off the 3D map with the skull and cross bones and all the other symbols i would presume its an accident as i can't see why anyone would turn it off on purpose or run over mine purposly unless you put them in the middle of the road or at the top of a hill.

      what is it, 5 years or so since BF1942... and they STILL havn't solved the "friendlies TK on mines" issue?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

      Bottom line... you CANNOT USE MINES ON PUB SERVERS if you want a positive score.

      and in BF2: if you DO use mines... you WILL get TK's... and probably get auto-banned from the server.

        i dunno people seem to be more aware of mines now, i spent 3 minutes slowly manuvering a tank round mines earlier just to avoid the engineer getting a tk

          Yes, people seem more aware of mines. But enemies seem twice as aware of your mines than friendlies. Even if there were no skulls and crossbones it still would make NO sense for friendlies to run over your mines more than enemies.

            EA should just do the same thing they did with the arty issue. You can't be punished for it.

              Yeah, but the thing is, then people might start doing stuff like placing mines on your team's vehicle spawns and such.
