Land Mines RUIN Warhawk!!!

I haven't played warhawk but I would assume you could shoot a few rounds around the ground by the flag to check for mines? Maybe that tactic would prove beneficial if it is effective. :)warbmxjohn

i stopped playing warhawk because my ps3 buggered up and i lost the expansion pack, but i plyed it a lot.

ii never really found them that bad. u've just gotta look 4 em. it's part of the game.

a grenade is a great way to get rid of a couple mines without aiming. Mines are easy to spot once you know what to look for, plus you can always hear them before you set them off, so i don't see what the big deal ispiano_pimp

WHen running into the enemy base, toss a grenade in front of you. Not that hard. Doesn't have to be precise. And if they have multiple mines around the flag, it'll clear em out. Really, putting multiple mines is kinda amateur... more than 1 is just a waste, they'll blow each other up. Better to take your 4 mines and put one at the flag, and the others at strategic points of entry, preferably on ceilings or behind corners, so that noobs will just run in, blow up, and then go onto internet forums and complain about how mines are ruining the game.ianuilliam

I die alot in Warhawk. But then sometimes I live.

Then you die!!

I don't recall using mines yet though. I am only an Airman though, so...

i lol'd

way to go champ

I actually agree about mines- CTF games are just so littered with mines that I find that the only effective method of clearing them out is with an electricty strike in a Warhawk- and I'm a pretty lousy pilot.

I'm not saying Incognito should totally do away with them, but I think for CTF games, two things need to be changed. A) There has to be a finite number available per team and make it changeable if you're hosting games. B) If the person who threw down the mine dies, the mine disappears rather quickly. I noticed that they pretty much stay indefinately, so people really go overboard with mining their bases.

I love the game, but I kind of steer clear of CTF on the Asian servers because they're already ungodly difficult as it is.

A charged lightning gun will take care of pretty much any mine issues you might face in the vicinity of the flag. Plus you might end up getting a few kills at the same time.sportwarrior

He's right, Lightning gun, any of the bigger rockets, will clear any mines in the area.

QFT

I think they're fun and fun to try to avoid. The only thing I hate is when someone comes over to your tower base on the omega map and rigs up all the warhawks with them. I do a few circles around a warhawk before getting in now lol.Laxman816

off topic OH and LAXMAN love your sig!!!WE ARE PENN STATE!!! I'm a PSU student but am abroad in Sweden right now so I am missing our great season

why dont you just shoot them first lol i never let those things get me more than once in a matchronniepage588

Land mines are TOTALLY cheap and make CTF just plain annoying. You get your gear, get to the flag and then your dead. There's no sportsmanship and no pitting of skills, just hoping you get lucky and see it or that someone else goes ahead and clears them i.e gets blown up before you. TOTALLY lame and I hope the next one DOES NOT have them, because I love the game otherwise, and it makes me not want to play since I'm a CTF freak. UT3 (my fave MP-it's my first UT) is so much better on CTF since it's an HONEST challenge. YES I'm serious!!! Deathtransit

lol i love mines lol just throw granades at the flag and at "popular mines places" u'll be fine

I never heard the mine beeping, did they just that that in there?

anyway from all the time I spend playing warhawk 100+ hours I've died from a land mine almost everytime, heck almost every game lol. I guess I'm just the player who just rambos in lol.

I know land mines are annoying but play a lot of games and you know exactly where it is, usally by flags, bases, doors,briges, ect. really you'll see those mines in the exact same spot almost everytime, so when you feel theres a mine in a spot there usually is one.

Huge disorganized chaotic cluster****s ruin Warhawk - in other words, Warhawk ruins itself. :|

I guess noone is realy hearin the TC but i feel his pain on this topic. People actually place mines EVERYWHERE!!! And its impossible to try to move into a base on foot shootin or throwin grenades at em cause u're automaticly a bullet pincusion or a crater in the ground. U need to move into a base for the flag as fast as u can or basicly stealth your way in from behind to avoid a barrage of @$$woopin from the op-team. Eucadian Empire is almost impossible to get a good flow of CTF goin cause the gap between base gate and bridge is always a mine field.warrner11

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has come across a fault of Warhawk. Pretty much the only good thing about Warhawk is the Warhawk. And even then it has a problem seeing as with the machine gun on the warhawk takes way too many shots to kill a person on foot.odin2019
