God, I keep seeing n00bs using tunnel beacons when the rules clearly say NO TUNNEL BEACONS, while they KNOW that tunnel beacons don't work. Even 20 tunnel beacons! You'd be having over 20 techs at the ref (or what ever building is closest to the tunnel beacons).
I'm wondering if Westwood can make an area in the tunnels to disable beacons right when it is deployed. Just to make the game more fair. It'd get rid of some n00bs and have most of them play MORE FAIR.

Mods themselves are missing when tunnel beaconing is happening, so what is the point of that command?

I'm surprised people still think tunnel beacons actually work. Most of the time it'll just take off 2-4 squares, it's very rare to see it go down in a great amount.

still, ive had it on field once where i was nod and the tunnels were mined and we couldn't enter it.
GDI planted enough beacons in the tunnel close enough to the ref, that even having about 10-15 people repairing the ref couldn't save it

Oh, please. I've won many a game for my team by a last-minute tunnel beacon.

so placing a beacon where it does little damage, but is in an easily defendable position is comparable to a hack which lets you kill buildings with a pistol?... 
Often tunnel beacons are not to destroy the building, but a last ditch effort to get enough points to take / retain the lead in a close points game...

I still think tunnel beacons should be considered cheating. It's like b2b and hacking.
|
I suppose we should get rid of rocket launchers, too. You know, since they do damage even without a direct hit.

Then we have to take away the Ramjet, too! It can shoot and kill two people with one round!
Also, C4 explodes in a large radius, and I nearly forgot about that! We can't have that either!
