Fancy RP locations

[LimaTango]

Today on [T&T] Tactics & Teamwork server I noticed that many people place their RPs outside the combat area or in treetops with the grappling hook.
Is this commonly accepted by the PR-community?

If it´s the best way to hide your rallypoint.
Why not?

I don't like it personally, nor do I like it when RPs are placed in the air by various means, such as grapple hook in a tree.

why?
1) its taking advantage of game mechanics with no regard for realism, u wanna spawn in a non-combat area, spawn at main.
2) it doesnt necessarily give the squad an advantage, its just that you can't be bothered to find a good, well covered, hiding spot.
3) it makes it hard for the squad to get limited kits

Word.

Agreed! Couldn't be nice if the RPs couldn't be place right at the "map border" outside the map, and in the trees? That's just plain stupid!

[cyberzomby]

Agreed. I dont like it. Thats just one of the playstyles players use to WIN instead of having a good time with this game.

Outside combat area's? You mean like when you get the desserter warning?

How real is a rally point anyway? If this is to be truly real then do away with rallies altogether.

I wouldn't mind RPs being removed all together, proper hardcore

They are a gameplay facilitator, not a realistic asset, but with the advent of the Bunker and firebase (especially with the announced changes to the bunker system) the RP isn't really needed. BUT! if it is going to be used, I'd prefer it was used in the most realistic capacity it can.

I agree with the idea that you shouldn't be able to place rally's out of bounds, but in trees seems reasonable to me, make it so you can shoot rallys and it's fine.

In reality a RP should be more of a position to get kits and rearm from, maybe even set up a couple minor defense positions around like a sandbag. Removing them as a spawn point would further force tactics and give more incentive to shy away from the pointless endless waves of cannon fodder.
