[quote name='Chronotrigga']I just want to comment on the Landmines (Bouncing Betty) that they are practically a hit and miss. The radius of the Landmine varies, apparently. There are some instances where a Landmine blows up right in front of my face but does not kill me. However, there are other times when the Landmine is on the other side of the Search & Destroy target and somehow it is triggered and kills me -- even when it is completely on the other side. But oh well, it's the beta.[/quote]
It could be somewhat sloppy programming, but its been fixed. In Americas Army for PC, when grenades exploded, something in the coding made it so that directly above the grenade, not as much damage took place. Once people figured that out, people just ran towards a grenade (when they knew the wouldn't be able to outrun the explosions) and laid down on top of it, because sometimes you would get lucky and actually survive the blast.
And unrelated to the current direction, but it's something I haven't seen in any other game. Like most games, if an object is in front of a nade, it takes the blast and shield people behind it. Once the problem got fixed, people still laid down on nades if it landed in a group of people, because their body would reduce the blast enough so that nearby teammates wouldn't get hurt nearly as bad. It was a great sign of camaraderie *tear*. In every other game, people just run like hell.
