well, whenever I run over an APM in 2142, i always think "what a gay fag he didnt drop that there strategically at all he just put it where he though someone would walk and now im dead without the chance to take one shot at the stupid coward" while when someone hits me with a rocket launcher, it actually takes some skill.
Rocket Launcher? Skill? Tch... There are so many thing wrong with the above quote, one thing being the word "fag", and also the word "coward" amongst the nonsensical crap coming out of your mouth (or typing hands)
strategy: putting a mine behind u so people can sneak up on you and knife u in the back. and putting them in choke points like hallways when defending something is sometimes ok.
being stupid: putting a mine where the enemy will soon be most concentrated. that seems like a rly cheap kill to me. especially because if u see one, u cant defuse it to keep a teamate from steppin on it. u could drop a mine in the enemy base right in plain sight and since n one will ever defuse it someone eventually will die because of a randomely thrown mine that took no skill whawtsoever
Cheap? It's strategy if you kill them. And strategy does not include allowing someone to come up and knife you in the back, that's just stupid. You might think it's a randomly tossed mine, and in some cases it may be, but it gets the job done that it was made for. Rocket Launchers require less strategy than a pistol...
