I have a 7-10 split in my brain right now about a certain subject: The act of loading a few (read: 2 to 3) remote c4 on a buggy/humvee that you are planning on rushing with into the enemy base:
Pro's: Well, there really is only one. When you sneak into base, you really don't want to let people know you are there by chasing down infantry firing your gun. This, for obvious reasons, blows any sort of surprise you might achive with a sneak attack. If you don't want to leave a full health vehicle for the enemy you have to drive around until you get blown up....at which point, you have very little chance to sneak into the refinery and blow that mutha. Placing two remote c4 on your vehicle allows you, when you blow up your remote c4 in the building, to remove your offending vehicle from the game, and often times, right out from under enemy hands. It's very satisfiying to hear the humvee's engines start up outside of your victim building (why people drive that vehicle away instead of checking the building for the enemy who LEFT IT THERE is still beyond me) and seconds later hearing the satisfying explosion of the powerplant AND the now enemy Humvee in blowing up in chorus together.

Cons': Well, you're wasting two of your teams 30 limit for mines, as remotes count agains the limit. However, you're not handing over a vehicle to the enemy either.
I, myself, favor this tactic.
Would anyone here be upset if they saw someone on their team do this? And I don't mean loading it up with c4...that's just dumb in my opinion. Just two to prevent it falling into enemy hands.....
Ok, chime in.

I have used this tactic many times It is a nice way to take out people who think they are safe hiding behind a rock or low wall where they are hard to hit with your gun oand are unsquishable <~ new word? Been able to rack up a few kills with the proxy. The problem with using it for base rushes is that 9 out of 10 times the first newbie you run over takes out the c4 and you would have gotten the squish kill anyway
