<div class="IPBDescription">with mines</div> I noticed that marines can now walk on mines. If placed correctly, marines can climb walls with it. You will see in <a href='http://homepage2.nifty.com/01ie009/ns/wallclimb.zip' target='_blank'>this demo</a> how marines can walk right into the back of DCD from Holo Room in ns_hera using mines. I tired it out elsewhere and found out that you can even goto the RedRoom in ns_nothing with only 3packs of mines. It doesn't look right so maybe it needs to be fixed.

    We did it in the playtesting all the time, it's a known feature. I think it's still in for fun and it doesn't hurt balance too much.

    I see no problem with the marines having ladders.

    This feature is self balanced... just shoot the mine ladder and boom , here goes the marine team.

    This is a feature that is intentional.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->'all you need is three packs of mines'<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    wow sir, three packs is hard to get out there. That means you need to send out 3 marines and have none of them die. Or you need to get one marine and spend 40 res on an armory and 3 packs. Then a single alien can blow up the bottom mine and the ladder is gone.

    Its fun, and adds tatics to many maps.
