I can't recall which thread it was, but there was some talk that you could attach boomers to yourself or other players. Well..if that's the case; I can see players attaching boomers to maxes during a max crash. See where I'm going with this....Boomers have a pretty big AOE damage and a max can probably take one detonation (They might be able to take a lot more, seeing how they activate shields as well), but it'll definitely kill off any nearby enemy softies.
This wasn't a problem in PS1 though, but after seeing TB placing explosives on the mag(night fight video), it could
possibly mean you can place some on ally or enemy troops.
But hopefully I'm just paranoid and wrong about the whole thing. Otherwise we're in for some explosive FUN! NOT!!!!
