Im with it. Lol MAX or Buggy gets boomer on it and gets in a Gal, the gal takes off and BOOOOOM! No more squad, lotsa exp. That means one thing, exploiters!

But that would be such a wonderful tactic, requiring a very skilled infiltrator. Although MAXs might be a bit too much, as far as abuse. Everyone and thier brother would be loading up MAXs as suicide bombers. Although I guess if when a boomer was attatched to a MAX, it's autorun was disabled (due to the high magnetic charge required to hold the boomer on), that would prevent Zergs of suicide bombing MAXs.

Another change I'd like to see: Sypathetic detonation.

Exploiters?


But I dunno kamikaze bombing would be in and funny lol you send your friend with a mag full of boomers in a crowded base and thump a jammer on it lol!

Just what we need. Cloaked infiltrators with a boomer strapped to their back running pell-mell into the enemy ranks screaming "Kamakazi! For the [insert faction here]!" :eek:

Eh? Noone said anything about regular grunts, just vehicles and MAXs.

Besides, you already have suicide bombing cloakers; I do it all the time. Run into tower spawn, plant boomer, detonate. You go, but you take a bunch of guys with you.

You should be able to do crasy stuff with them like stick 10 on a person and turn them into a scuicide bomber.

It would be nice, but the system for laying those down wont work for that. The reason they 'warp' to tge ground instead of simply being thrown down is so all that has to go through the internet is where the mine is instead of how its being thrown and stuff.

maybe if we had c4 or something that sticks to walls and stuff too, but does friendly damage or something so it doesnt replace 'boomers'. I also dont see why they couldent call them mines, but owell.

id rather have timed mines...setable, of course

set on a MAX for 5 minutes and only a Battle Engi can disarm, so if no one notices...lets just say a mini orbital strike occurs...

Turns out im partially wrong, mines CAN be put onto walls and stuff, theres a picture and another thread "when combate engineers get orgonized".

Well, still, you could do some crasy stuff if mines could stick to people and veicles.

Example: A guy has a stealth suit and some mines or bommers or whatever, he sneaks into a n enemy base. He sticks the mines onto everyone's backs, getting more from an equipment terminal he hacked. He eventually gets alot of people 'tagged'. When another squad of yor faction comes to take the base, all of the enemies group up at the enterances. The guy in the steath suit detonates the bombs and almost all the enemies were killed by him.

Thats how i think it would work, but i've never used boombers and might be wrong.

they should have sticky bombs, like the plasma grenades from halo, you throw them and they stick to whatever they hit, b00m after 5 seconds or stickeyness. they worked great but were hard enough to get them to stick on people it's not really exploitable

I would just like to stick a mine on a MAXs back and then send him /tells about it. Nothing he can do about, kinda like a hostage situation. :D

Me: If I see Darklight come on, I'll kill ya
Me: If you call for backup, I'll kill ya
Me: If you try to harm me in any way, I'll kill ya
Me: If you lie to me, or I think you are lying to me, I'll kill ya
Me: In fact you are going to have to work very hard to stay alive.
Me: Do you understand? Good, because if you don't, I'LL KILL YA!!!


Ok, a large part of that was stolen from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but it would still be cool.

Awsome movie by the by. ;)

no what would be sweet would be lke a jeep like vehilce or mabye a van that was a suicide bomb truck that all you had to do was ram a tank and this massive explosion would take place nukeing the tank to a scorched shell

Well,

In Battlefield you could load explosives on vehicles. I especially loved loading up a jeep with explosives and driving it into the enemy. Right before you impact, you hop out as the engineer, dive for cover, and blow the thing up right as it hits. If we were able to place boomers on vehicles in PS, we could do the same thing.

I doubt they will let us put boomers on vehicles since they don't even let us ride on tanks--and riding on a tank is a logical thing for infantry to do even!

ah and for boomer detonators... make it so it's only one! choose to either

a) aim at the boomer you wanna detonate
b) Detonate in order of placement
c) Detonate all at once
d) Seperate the boomers detonator lol
