Proximity Mines

[synkrotron]

I am having to reconsider how I am deploying my proximity mines. I team killed the same guy twice last night, 45 minutes apart, with a bouncing betty. One inside a tower and one at the spawn room at Broken Arch.

I don't want to stop using them, because they come in quite handy at times, protecting two doorways while watching a third. But I also lay them down in a spawn room that is about to go down, and this is the area where I have to rethink.

I'm sure there are many that will flame me for using them in such a way, but I've only picked up this (perhaps) bad habit from a) being blown up myself by proximity mines in spawn rooms, and b) watching other players do exactly the same.

So, what I am doing here is garnering your general opions on the use of proximity mines...

cheers
