I like doing that when there's a cluster of tanks in one small area.

As to mining planes, I've been guilty of that. I swear, no one checks the plane for a mine ever.

Played my first map using Pro Flight last night. It was the 4v4 with 2 planes in the center of the compound. I only had to fight off an enemy plane a few times and lots of rockets launched my way. Finished with about 32 kills and 2 deaths.

I'm determined to learn how to use Pro Flight well. I actually escaped a lot of rockets launched my way when I used it (fairly easily).

The only thing that really bothers me in this game are "noobs" who think they can play because that racked up 40 kills by camping a base launching TOW missile after TOW missile. There's one map on 24-player games that's easy to do this. Whoever owns the middle base can get all kinds of Warhawks in the air and launch TOWs into the spawning base (no real cover) every 30-40 seconds.

Ive noticed most tanks panic or don't think about it..

When mining vehicles in your own base place them below the vehicle so that allies dont run off with a hot jeep.

If a enemy jumps em its all over..

I find it obvious on some maps to find the chosen enemy flag runner vehicle, every base has one that is particular placed for the flag runner, and ensure theres a present underneath it.

Sometimes I mine my own plane because im looking for a target, then if people hit me I ram my jet at them, in fear that they might hit my mine, and if I cant get a bunch of people at least one person will die.

Yep. On the Island Outpost map (32-player), I'll place a jeep under the flag with a mine. Guy takes the flag and thanks his lucky stars that there's a jeep waiting when he drops down. Booooom!

Yeah, it's tough and I'm almost out of duct tape again.

True but there is usually one positioned already at spawn that points away from base and relatively close to the flag this is what I like to call the geta away vehicle.. the one that should always have a mine underneath it, or close to it...

Course not all plans come to proper fruitation.

[Copywriter]

Yeah, I always like mining all jeeps. However, sometimes you get the "genius" player who blows the vehicle up, which wastes the mine. I never get that. If you blow up the jeep, it just re-spawns in a minute.

Of course, the best scenario (when no mines exist) is to damage it to almost blowing and leave it there. Guy jumps in the jeep and you can just spit on him to blow him sky high.

[dk3dknight]

Most people realize the best anti mine strategy is to blow up something that you don't trust...

When in doubt nade the vehicle.

Of course the people that put mines in the direct spawn points of players are a little cruel.

I think Dylan Jobe previously said the new paintjobs would be unlocked from the get-go.

They better be I was already teased once with all that random rank up glitch they had before. I had just the perfect paintjob too, but NOOOO it was taken from me.

They should be unlocked to everyone who has at least 350 hours played.

Or perhaps just those that "actually" play the game.

I only like a few of them any ways.

"Being Home" is all I'm looking forward to.

The updates to the PS3 and Warhawk are just icing on the cake.

GT5 is okay. I have the Japan version. One thing I miss in all car games is the ability to free drive around cities and stuff.

MGS4 should be great. I just got my MGS Essential Pack yesterday and am looking forward to spending some quality time with it in May.

Haze, meh. The release it too close to other games. It looks interesting though, but I don't play FPS games, because they make me feel nauseous sometimes if it's not smooth with good camera work.

Socom FTW.

yeah i not to big on the FPS too because of the same reason, same goes with racing games in FP. Burnout was sandbox and that was great, and the expansion is comming out soon. I think ill get Haze because i like the story and look of it. Im not sure if ill get MGS4 because ive never played any of the past games.
