Hopefully you were fast and others too slow so you're one of the first in line; otherwise you might get fucked when they run out of attachments; this is often a problem in high pop games. Compounding this is the fact that the ROs generally suck so they don't preorder additional sets. If the RO refuses to hand out more than 1 attachment per marine do your best to start a riot by screaming about it and how bullshit that is on the public com until he changes his mind or gets shitcanned (sometimes you do instead but usually all the other marines will have your back because 1 attachment per marine is bullshit).
#5: Get a bipod and magnetic harness. If the RO isn't a nazi (usually they are), get an extended barrel as well; don't push for it though cause 2 attachments per non-Specialist is the default rule. Attach all that crap to your pulse rifle.

The bomb mix information is already out there, and in far more prominent places; it's an effortless google search away.Neray wrote: While also being a really bad person for placing this info here.
Besides, the possibility of griefing excepted (and there's already ways to grief that rival tank bomb usage that require much less effort), bomb production is a perfectly legit venture on CM. As for the other servers, anyone who really wants to grief with tank bombs and find out how to make good ones can easily access that information.
In balance, the pros of making this info available here outweigh the cons.

Basic rule of CM says that if something is getting used too frequently it's getting nerfed even more.bomb production is a perfectly legit venture on CM

Re: How Not To Suck At Combat Engineer; WIP
Why is there a section for building bombs as an engineer? You should not be doing that, at all.

Absolutely Haram.
I'd advise placing it in a pastebin.
Deleting someone's hard work because some content may be ill advisable is really shit.
Edit it or tell the creator.

I'll send you your old post in a PM if you want, Surreal. This wasn't removed by me, but it's no mystery why it was.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....
