==Trivia==
Unlike the Trip Mine, the landmine is not activated solely by motion. Thus, trying to crouch walk slowly over a landmine will detonate it. Landmines can be activated by proximity. If you drive close enough to one, it will explode after a short delay. This can be used to stop any player following close behind you. Oddly enough, however, [[Evade|Evading]] over a trip mine will not detonate it, and the mine may even be thrown into the air from the impact.
*Landmines can be activated by proximity. If you drive or walk close enough to one, they will explode after a short delay. This can be used to stop any player following close behind you.
 
*Landmines can be placed in midair via the "Fixed" feature. This can be useful in making a base resistant to aerial attacks.
===''Halo 4''===
*The Landmine is the most sensitive explosive in ''Halo: Reach''. Even a slow-rolling [[Frag Grenade]] will detonate it.
The Landmine returns in ''[[Halo 4]]'' with no changes whatsoever.
*In the Race gametype, Landmines will often have barely visible waypoints above them alerting you of their presence.
 
*You cannot stack Landmines - contact with any other object causes instant detonation.
===''Halo 2: Anniversary''===
*There were rumors that crouch-walking over the landmines prevents it from exploding; however this is not true.

Gameplay[edit]

"What’s a landmine? Should be obvious, right? A small, metal platter with a flashing red bulb perched on top like a violent, blood-soaked maraschino cherry on a death-dealing sundae. You’d have to be some kind of moran not to instantly know you need to steer clear."

If you drive close enough to one, it will explode after a short delay. This can be used to stop any player following close behind you. Oddly enough, however, Evading over a trip mine will not detonate it, and the mine may even be thrown into the air from the impact.
