So, you thought they'd been removed, eh? Wrong! Alex has a habit of leaving half-done stuff in KF (the demo had a LAW ), and duly he has left concussion grenades, the .50 cal and landmines in KF2.0. the first two don't really work (the 'nades go pop and nothing happens, you can deploy the .50 Cal, sit in it, but not fire it), but the land mines sure do. They're great! Infinite ammo too. You yourself can try them now, simply use the arena mutator and set it to the weapons with wierd names. But since that mucks up the normal weaponry (no med syringe etc.), I've made a test map to try them out in. It actualy works quite well, too. Giver it a try here:- (600KB ish, a 5min upload on 56k) www.megaupload.com/?d=N326I9S2The landmines aren't perfect though. Bear in mind that the game doesn't like switching between them properly, and sometimes your first mine needs to explode before you get infinite ammo. Hold fire to deploy them BTW, and press use to pick them up again. Also, you have the default texture on your hands . Knock yourself out ;D.

Land mines? There were going to be land mines in KF? Holy crap... can you FATHOM how helpful those would be on Swamp? God, if they didn't blow up your friends, I'd have a damned WALL of them outside the side door and on the staircase... and then about 80 around the front yard...
And of course three .50 cals upstairs, pointing at the staircase.
And we'd still die screaming I'm sure... lol

Heh... landmines DON'T blow up your freinds. Awesome. But, the .50 Cal can't aim up or down. I guess this is to stop what you said from happening.

Not at all, just put three in a semi circle arcing from the shelf where the ammo spawns upstairs around towards (not next to) the railing of the staircase. Anything that gains the top of the staircase gets to play hot potato with three streams of screaming .50 cal fire. Doesn't have to fire down, the top is a natural choke point.

I have allready played the game with land mines there pretty powerfull zombie just walk past them and boom, I put the gun in one of my map to see what it was all about alex also planed at the time to have flash grenades i dident get to test it out because it kept saying no ammo. And the floor mounted mashion gun looks realy cool to bad i never got to test the baby out put it on the floor and no ammo came out of it, Only thing thats missing from mines is texture good work on it,

God... we NEED landmines... that is exactly what was missing beforehand. Don't suppose any wonderful person could figure them out in a patch? lol

Would be so sweet on Swamp. Laying whole mine fields with you guys.
And then get owned by hordes of Timmies.

Faust said that patch 2 may contain new weapons. So fingers crossed.

You plonk it on the floor, and then it works like one of the turrets from UT2004. You can get on and off it.

Mines and a .50 on the side door in swamp= victory.
How does the .50 cal work? Ammo wise I mean... just run out and become useless?
