Nick06 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey you now what this game could use? So infantry set explosives. Like some kinda box or something that could be, then (with some kinda remote detonated. Well? pros cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltz Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 You mean a road side bomb? An I.E.D? Pro's would be, well, boom! Con's are waiting, waiting, and waiting. Few use Inf as is. To set them up as "campers" waiting for a Thor to drive close by would rarely be used, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander SquidLord Williams Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Equally as important as what Smeltz says above, waiting and watching for the bomb to have a target takes a combatant out of play that could be firing ATGs into the enemy. Even if you put a bot on it, that's one more bot not guarding your back or flanking the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilibird Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Infantry placed land-mines, instead of the pod-dropped ones now? Or keep the pod dropped ones, since they can only be dropped in deployment time. Then allow an engineering infantry to place mines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Nelson Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hmmm... If you could blow up an ion tower with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Grunt Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think a "smart" IED that infantry could leave behind would be great. It would have to be quick to deploy, and effective to be useful. I love playing infantry and I know I want the capability. Same with a "sticky bomb". But no one has time to sit around and remote detonate an IED in DT. Been sending Clay alot of ideas regarding infantry, so hopefully he will like one or two...

Nick06 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sorry i couldn't get back to very soon but posting on this board isn't a full time job for me... Hmmm... If you could blow up an ion tower with it... Anyway, What the Heck? why not make it be able to blow up an ion tower? Okay, maybe TWO of these "BOOM!" devices could blow out an ion tower.... Oh and maybe BOOM could be an abbreviation for what it is. Hey, why not give BOOM a camera so that you can find it on the tac display and look around and then with another click, You suddenly realize why they called it BOOM.... The guys on the other-side of the map will look up and say, "Hey it's a mushroom cloud.' I guess to balance the power of the BOOM it would be two BOOMS to a squad of infantry. The squads will have to have a explosives specialist. Okay, so what would BOOM stand for or if there is some new name you think of, post it please....
