Battlefield Bad Company 2 / Tips, Tricks and Strategy / Persistent mines

The engineer mines seem rather persistent. Although they can be destroyed by many things, if you start the round as an engineer you can lay the mines. If you get killed, you can respawn as another kit and the mines will still be active.

The forums were shut down for probably 6 months. Unfortunately, abusive posts by malicious posters closed the forums. As my webhosting is a free site, the webhost company makes the rules. I have opted to modify the process for signing up for the forums as well as enforcing the webhosts rules.
There was the possibility that the entire website would be taken offline, so the forum was closed for a long time.
The forums have been reorganized. The focus is on the Battlefield Series, with an emphasis on the PC games of the series.

Battlefield 2142 / General Discussion / Lonely Internet Email campaign begins.
|
on: March 05, 2008, 08:22:42 PM

Eric9787, as he is known on the Battlefield2142 forums, began a lonely email campaign to get DICE to continue improving its Battlefield 2142 game. Dice is owned by EA games which has made news lately for its $2 billion dollar bid to buy Take2 Interactive. Eric9787 described himself as an avid BF2 & BF2142 gamer who wants to see patches and updates continue to come out for the series. In his email of February 3, 2008, Eric9787 asked, “Can I, as a gamer and as an owner of BF2142, expect further expansion of the game as far as patches, support(against cheaters & illegal ranked servers), free maps & most importantly purchasable booster packs?” According to information available on the Battlefield2142 forums, in an emailed response on February 5, 2008, Dice replied to Eric9787 “Although we cannot disclose any information about upcoming Updates and expansions at this point in time we are still working on making sure you as a player get the best possible experience when playing Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 2.” The response was less than satisfying to some forum trolls. XXBigBacon wrote, “What did you expect?? The response is exa(c)tly what I would have expected to get.” XXBIGBACON further wrote, “I wouldn't hold my breath. Notice they added BF2 in there as well and we all know BF2 has been supportless for awhile now.” Others took an even bleaker view, as Morgile wrote “You can pretty much bet that no expansions are gonna come out for 2142. If they were, we'd have heard about it by now--we've heard about bad company, right?” Despite this Eric9787 sent a second email to DICE and then a third. Eventually, Eric9789 received another response from DICE on March 4, 2008, “Thank you for your email and we are pleased that you enjoy playing our Battlefield titles. We also understand the frustrations of the community when it comes to new content and update announcements, unfortunately we can not announce content or updates to the community until we are fully aware that we will be able to deliver one and what that will include.” Eric9787 decided to send another email again asking for further clarification. Refusing to give up, Eric9787 explained his actions, “Since it seems their information concerning Updates and Expansions is confidential until they announce on battlefield.com then my focus now is bringing communication skills to both sides of the group and making us players/consumers have a better data line with DICE. This is the only way to make things better.” But the ball is still entirely in the hands of DICE. Will they support further expansion?

"We ask consistency of politicians who traditionally showed none. So how can we remain silent about the inconsistency of men who cloak themselves in one of the purest messages humanity has ever known? How can we not remind them that for a Christian, to be afraid is to betray one's faith?" Albert Camus

"France used to live by shopworn maxims, which explained to younger generations that life required compromise, that one had to know when to make concessions, that enthusiasm was short-lived, and that in a world where craftiness was always right, one had to make an effort not to be wrong. That was the way things were before the war. And when the men of our generation reacted against the injustice, they were told it would be passed on to them. So, little by little, the morality of least resistance and disillusionment spread." Albert Camus

"Between the very general fear of a war for which everyone is preparing and the very specific fear of lethal ideologies, it is therefore quite true that we live in terror. We live in terror because persuasion is no longer possible because man has been delivered entirely into the hands of history and can no longer turn toward that part of himself which is true as the historic part, and which he discovers when he confronts the beauty of the world and of people's faces. And because we live in a world of abstraction, a world of bureaucracy and machinery, of absolute ideas and of messianism without subtlety. We gasp for air among people who believe they are absolutely right, whether it be in their machines or their ideas. And for all who cannot live without dialogue and the friendship of other human beings, this silence is the end of the world."
Albert Camus, Century of Fear, Neither Victims Nor Executioners, Combat.

"It is no accident that the so-called "organizing committees" were headed by "organizers" whose relations with the proletariat in most cases were never anything but the relations of masters to servants." Albert Camus, August 21, 1944.

"The long dialogue among human beings has now come to an end. And of course a man who cannot be persuaded is a man who makes others afraid. So that alongside people who stopped speaking because they deemed it pointless to try, a vast conspiracy of silence has arisen and continues to spread, a conspiracy accepted by those who quake in fear and who find every reason in the world to hide their quaking from themselves, and encouraged by those who find it in their interest to do so." Albert Camus, November 19, 1946.

"Three years after being subjected to a policy of terror themselves, Frenchmen are reacting to this latest news with the indifference of people who have seen too much. Yet the facts are there, the clear and hideous truth: we are doing what we reproached the Germans for doing. I am well aware that we have been offered an explanation, namely, that the Malagasy rebels have tortured Frenchmen. But the cowardly crimes of our adversary do not excuse our becoming cowardly and criminal in turn."
Albert Camus, May 10, 1947
