Make ION and Nuke a bit different

Go to where the bastards congregate and you will find their beacon. (which is quite obvious if the beacon is on the landing strip)

Maybe the blinky light needs to be brighter, the light itself always being visible through foliage? (grass & leaves)

Nod should be punished for letting a GDI spy or whatever planted a beacon. (this coming from a Nod player)

Except perhaps, if they manage to deploy it *within* a blue light-bulb of the strip...

Well, indeed - as @Madkill40 said it: "Go to where the bastards congregate"  

[HuskerDoggo]

the nukes/ions are good for what they are in my opinion. usually when a nuke gets placed everyone in base are scattered around to find it , which wouldn't take long with team effort, and you would still have a good amount of time to disarm it.

could agree with the light being brighter like @Madkill40 said just for spotting it better when you are near it. or maybe like a very, very, very small indication on the (mini)map

Not all beacons are placed during a GDI rush, some are placed when Nod is rushing (as contra measure) -while the base is covered by 1 or 2 players !!

sorry Schrott but that happens to GDI too... so what?

you got 50 seconds to find & disarm the nuke.

with a recruit Technician / Hotwire you have 40s to find it & fight the enemy (10 seconds to disarm).

Unless you're alone on GoldRush (or any map with a comparable map size) you should be able to find any beacon placed inside the base in time...

Totally agree that this happens on both sides. It is not about that happening.

It is about the difference:

Nod has the same amount of time to search a larger area for a beacon than GDI has.

No need to mess with the times, imao, it would be fair enough to have the ION a bit louder than a Nuke !

Running around a building doesn't take longer than running along a flat runway?

This would be true, if Airstrip would be only a flat landing lane, which is not.

If you're near the tower you'll hear it for sure and know not to run down the strip..?

Blinky light needs to be much brighter and more visible from longer distances.

[Luhrian]

The Nod base is mostly a bit bigger then the GDI base, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to make the ion louder and increase the range from where you can hear it.

And I agree sometimes it is really hard to hear the ion sound.

[Sn4ke]

I wonder what your current sound settings are

but the sound settings could also get some more options

[Hohndo]

I would agree with making it brighter and/or flashing blue/green to differentiate it from other lights.

[vandal33]

not green, it would confuse when its already too late
