    They seem marginally useful in the few situations you have a clear idea of when and from where the enemy will be coming and you’ll be defending that point for some time. But even in those situations, I’m not sure why I’d want mines over, say, Cluster Bomb or a Sentry.

    I actually have a friend who loves the mines. I don’t quite understand why. They never seem to kill anything except teammates. Maybe that’s why he likes them…

    I haven’t unlocked it yet but I was going to skip right to the incendiary one.

    I figured they would be good for the defend escaping personnel missions. Area denial to keep the escaping non divers safe, or alight if the flaming creatures get too close.

        I unlocked it, I find it is good on the evacuate personnel missions. It locks down a single direction so the enemy is only coming from 3 directions.
