Adapting to the new rally system

[burghUK]

Can't wait to make a ninja squad and just hassle enemy FOB's , will be extra fun as chechens (or militia as they have been changed to)

[=XE=Grimm]

Probably the way dev's intend players to cope with this change. Shift focus on FOB's, stick with your squad, value your life, play for the team not for your stats, shake twice after you take a leak. After all, with FOB's being deployable all over the place, search and destroy gets a whole new meaning. It's gonna be one hell of a weekend.

Value your life and stick with your team/squad, that is all there is to it really.

.1-.3 - Ow I got shot that hurts.... meh respawn spec ops

.5 - Ow I got shot.... oh cool an apc spawnpoint

.6-.8 - Ow I got shot, least we set that rally

.9 - Ahhh they are shooting at me, *ducks behind half wall goes prone* Put some suppressive fire on that guy I need to get to better cover help me!!

Any squad leader who thinks being pointman is still a good idea should rethink that.

Remember you still have 1 good rallypoint to drop and if you can rally with one guy away from the enemy you can become combat effective again...

Also Firebases will be key!

The team that wins is going to be the one that was smarter about their firebases and kept them alive...

All I ever seem to see in 10th at least, no fobs, trucks are usually taken by snipers etc. And its back to square one.

Cant say I share others optimism in this thread that this system will somehow create better gameplay, I can rely on peoples fobs as they put them in stupid locations/build wire everywhere to make it even more obvious where it is. Hence why rallys were more than just a spawnpoint.

@The taking pointman point, When pubbing I always find I have to lead from the front as most people cant comprehend following a marker, I have to tell people to follow me.

Also, When I get told my rally is in a bad location, does this mean a i need to rearm it?

Yes.


I can see your concerns, but I think you'll just have to see how it plays out. I believe it will be a positive change, but only time will tell.

can't say I'm a fan of the new rally change, but it is realism.

in game terms, I'm gonna predict that clan squads become even more successfull : public squads often don't have that same kind of cohersion

ive only been playing on TG last month or two with the changes (so much so that if i do go on another server, i need to be reminded to set RPs -_- ) and it dose work. whether or not other servers will be able to handle it is a different matter and we shall see, but the theory is there.
