How come using the shaped charge on nodes in frowned upon? Do you consider it cheating if you use the charge on a node in the order you would have to go if you used an orb? I ask because I currently, albeit rarely, use the shaped charge on Downtown to destroy nodes my team is attacking.

I think using it on nodes that are vulnerable is fair... a wise tactic in fact... and I do want to eventually change the mod to allow that... I just have not figured out how to do that yet.

To our lead GodsOfWarfare Developer AKA Paulie,

Nice work.  As we discussed yesterday I know this is on the back-burner for now (rightfully so) but I'm glad you're letting the community know that you're still on top of this.  You're original "Bug Fix" was delivered immediatly after our discovery... like within a couple hours!

All I know is you are beating Epic to the punch and as I said yesterday; someone should forward this to Mark Rein or Jeff Morris.  I'm going to start a petition to get you on the Payroll & get me my Dedicated Server Fixes & Web Admin.  LOL

Ok my pipe dream is over.  Back to reality!!  I was tempted to add (PS3 Exploit Fix) to the title of your post but I'll leave that up to you.  In a few days when this is no longer displaying on the frontpage - I'll demote it and make it a sticky in the Mutator lounge.  So feel free to edit your original post as your thoughts or code progresses.

All hail the ManUp Mutator - AKA the anti-bitch-ass-ness mod!

Using shaped charges to destroy enemy nodes/core is not frowned opon. It's attacking your enemy prime node/core when your nodes are UNLINKED...that is cheating! -Killa

*I would love to see a no spider mine mutator... I know it’s not cheating, but I hate them! Getting kills for nothing...it takes no skill and doesn't help you tactically because people can still get around them. When it comes down to it they're just plain annoying!
*slow energy field, and emp mines are lame too! rant,rant,rant!

is usually something the other team should be doing.

rofl @ "unearned killing spree" and spider mines not helping "tactically"

Using a vehicle for a killing spree doesn't make it unearned.  Damn it, Noot, quit running me over.

Spider mines do help "tactically" when placed correctly - even without being spawn-killers.  Put them and the EMP mine strategically on Avalanche between Center and Enemy Prime and you'll stop all the Scorpions or Mantas, knock the Orb Runner down, get kills, keep the other team from attacking a Node your team holds, give extra time to press the attack, etc.

small giggle @ "opponent's barricade"

Just laughing at the phrase.  I can see why people don't like the avalanche taking down unlinked nodes, but the idea that barricade's have ownership still makes me laugh - like each team makes theirs out of some special composite that the other team's shape charge shouldn't explode.  I don't see why the barricades in Downtown should have ownership, since if I were in a vehicle, I would find it advantageous to have both of them removed - making it easier to line my Scorpion up with Center Node.
