any thoughts on puttin proximity mines in halo3..Those of you who have played goldeneye for n64 should remember that the proximity mines were awesome.Even better yet mines that you detinate by pussing a button..(EX. On zanzibar you place the mines in the bottom 2doors and when you see someone on radar boom!!)..I think it would be cool but only if tere is a limited amout of them on the map and they only spawn half as often as other weapons..It would really be interesting in skirmish..Only problem would be placing them on the bomb arming spot or flag taking point...(it could get tiresome)..YOUR THOUGHTS

Nah, this is Halo, not Ghost Recon or Star Wars Republic Commando, and yea, rediculous camping.

  • 07.18.2006 1:25 PM PDT

it is not halo and would make it less fun and would get people very worked up e.g. if they were carrying rockets

*tear* ... you got to think more positive... Imgaine running out of your base seeing a charly running in to your base after theflag and setting of proxy above his head as he runs in the door for being an idiot and not frragin to see if there were any proxys.

I'd rather run around the map killing people than making sure im not running into a mine.

*tear*

Thinking of you when you get blown to bits right on top of your own base next to where you put the flag,

*tear*

For having to waste all those greanades,

It's just to not Halo, too tactiacl, and I don't want to waste grenades, seriously, you'll be cursing them too after a few matches, stupid proximity mines, killing me all over cause I didn't bother to waste a grenade.

Anyone who plays wolfenstein: Enemy territory will know that mines are such a pain in the ass. Especially on railgun.

Mines in halo 3 would ruin the whole pace of the game. It would mean that someone would have to sacrifice themselves by runing into the mines in order for someone else to get the flag. It would completely retartify the stats

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

It would turn everything into a camping orgy, unless you could set them off with grenades and enough fire. They should also be made semi-visible (think beeping noise or blinking lights)

I'll have you know
that I've become
Indestructible!

I think it would be very fun, it'd remind me of Goldeneye. But I don't think they should be with the staple games of matchmaking.

Perhaps make it a toggle-able (weird word, 'togglable') option for custom games.

well i think it would be cool..but yea I seeyour points about how it could be lame..But maybe like the one guy said make them have a blinking lite so that you could notice them..and you should definlty be able to blow them up with gun fire or grenades.I just thought that it would add a bit of crazy explosiveness to skirmish..better yet not proximity mines but mines that have to be detinated so you can actually walk right by them and not have them blow up unless the person who put them there activated them...so you can still be sneaky and not have them blow up..only problem would be on assault because you could just keep putting them in the circle where you are the bomb making it impossible to arm...So just allow only one mine per match or something like that..just an idea

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

Camping would be taken to a new level, and base assaults would be damned near impossible. Everyone on the opposing team would lay mines, and they would just go spawn kill the rest of the game leaving like 2 people to defend.

People camp with sniper rifles and vehicles in the first place. I couldn't handle playing CTF and getting blown up by a mine on the wall.

  • 07.18.2006 3:55 PM PDT

Quite a cool idea but all I can imagine it leading to is spawn killing and camping, that is all proximity mines(or the equivelant) amount to in other Xbox games with such a style of weapon.

So in a way, not so cool after all.

Bad idea, this is Halo. Not Golden Eye for the N64, which I have played, and frankly when people abuse them, like they would in Halo 3, it absolutely sucks.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

I think it ends up in people camping with them and abusing their power.

I say no.
