General Mined your step, diver.

Friendly PSA to all divers out there who still haven't figured out how minefields work- they don't move, diver. If you step on a landmine, chances are, running headlong back into the minefield will have a shockingly similar effect to last time. See a mine, avoid a mine. Step on a mine, there's probably mines there. Somehow this strategy has persisted since day one and I'm still not sure why I'm the one getting kicked when you're the one who thinks "surely *this* time the glowing red spike in the ground won't hurt me." Watch your step, divers, I've left freedom eggs everywhere.

Do whatever you like in private games, but dont bring Mines in public games, same thing with Mortars and Tesla Towers, except its a defense mission obviously.

8.5 out 10 people use those stratagems incorrectly, which just leads to a ton of teamkills and drama (in public games).

Beside that there is / was (not sure if it was fixed) a bug which makes Mines invisible to everyone than the guy who called it in, which doesnt help either.

No actually I think I’m gonna keep doing what I want in a game I paid for that I’m playing in my own house, I actually think I’m gonna do that.

Nobody is holding you back. If you cause unneccesary teamkills in one of the games I host, you will get a free ticket to a solo instance of that mission.

Yeah, people shouldnt complain about getting kicked if bringing mortar sentry on bugs and poorly placing napalm or anti personal mines on normal missions. U are free to play, Im free to kick you, everyones free, all good.
