Hey i think boomers are good and all i just think you should be able to plant them anywhere.. even on people and vhicles.. and make them explode where ever the open side is facing

How about planting them on people, sneak up behind someone and stick it to their back so if they ran they still were screwed.

Hehe oops i meant to type i like the on people part. Getting late, brain isn't working properly. That's what happens when you are doing way too many things at one time.

I would love it, but it would be unfair.

how about being able to plant them on rexo & maxes when they've been still for >1second?

It's not going to happen, and it shouldn't happen. Boomers are remote booby-traps, not sticky bombs.

Vehicles would be the only one I would say to allow boomers to be planted on.

yeah, sticking them to people is gay, there would be a lot more cloakers then. sticking them to vehicles would be funny, get a squad of cloakers with boomers to stick boomers to a vanguard, all press the trigger at once... one HELL of a lightshow

i think you should be able to make destoriable guard towers (tho this would make the game more of an RPG instead of an FPS, but oh well) anywho, the tower would hold up to 5 rexos, 7 agiles, 9 standards, cloakers cant enter. it only "guards" when there are people in it. So, if no one is in it, its just another obsitile for a tank to blow through. It can take 4 van shots (you do the math for what else it can take from other vehicles/weapons, since vanguard cannons are the second most powerful weapon in the whole damn game [first being the OS]) What do you guys think?

well, technicly they arent "sticky bombs", but they can stick to walls, i think that counts towards being a sticky bomb

I do agree it would be nice to tweak the explosions so that it doesn't go 'up' constantly. It's nice that we can stick a boomer on a wall, but how cool is that really when the blast doesn't go out from the wall like it should? It's hard as hell to kill a single soldier running past a wall boomer, and impossible (I believe) to kill somebody with a ceiling boomer.

I'm indifferent about placing boomers on vehicles for the most part, now that you can place boomers way closer to vehicles than you used to be able to I'm not sure how much I'd use it. That being said, it would be fairly sweet to lace a number of boomers on a vehicle and watch what happens when you add a single jammer 'nade.

I don't like the idea of putting them on vehicles... then we'd have people placing them on their own mosquitoes and flying them into enemy bases like suicide bombers... (ruh-oh I said suicide bombers... mod me)
