At least they're easier to see now that they have that green glow.
Before, planting them in the complex or the bunker made them almost invisible. ::)

I always threw them in that bridge-like area of the complex as a youngin'. :)

:) i love proxies so much fun


I hate them, specially when some jerk starts planting them at spawn points.

Hope you guys fix them for B4, probably make the beeping sound louder or longer, or make them glow in some color, like Rodney 1.666 said.

The joke's on them if they plant them at spawn points because we have spawn invuln protection. You'll blow up that n00bs mines without taking ANY damage. Please read carefully the release documentation when it becomes available (Friday or so)

I meant in this release. And not exactly on the spawn point, near it, in a place you have to pass through to get out of that area.
The invulnerability time is a great idea by the way. And of course I'll read the BETA 3 release documentation thoroughly. Either way, I wasn't planning on doing such a cheap thing (planting proxies). Some can argue it requires some thinking. To me, it only require you to remember where you planted them to make sure you don't fall in your own trap.

Dunno if you have, but I remember that I've already played with you.

A lot of people like to stay in the spot where proxies are in Facility (by the "maintenance tunnel" and the door that you opened with the console in the game) and surround it with proxies. Then they'd take that garbage can and use it to block the stairs. Then all they do is stay in there and watch as their kill count skyrockets.

That tunnel is removed so that should no longer be a issue, but I really hope people can think it through if they choose to put proxies in their loadout...

I missed the tunnel at first, but after playing with it, I thought it was a good choice. The tunnels were used more as an escape route rather than a usable part of the map. And if you did ever meet someone in it, it would just be a few shots to kill them, since there would be no where to go.

Now fighting is confined to the lower stairs, the locker room, and the main access tunnel, which still plays fine with several people.

I guess thats true for some but i have some pretty solid gameplay strategies that revolve around the tunnel (no not cheating with the garbage can) It also serves as a secondary route to the two rooms along the main tunnel. I love it and use it often, it will be sorely missed  :'(

Added variety to the things you could do.

The tunnel was a good addition, but also a good spot to plant the proxies, specially behind the stairs. But if they ought to keep it (they won't, but some third-party mapper may do it), they should make the exit to the locker room a bit more protected, because it was really easy to get killed in there.

After having played enough of beta3 (great job by the way!) to make a judgement on this I have to say that constantly getting shot in the back while trying to leave those back rooms is much more annoying than anything i've ever encountered in the tunnel, what was once my favorite map is now just a exercise in frustration  :-\
