Teamplay changes - spawn at main base only

Similarly if you're on defense and you're position gets overtaken you can't fall back and regroup, you're stuck coming in the same place. I just don't see the rational behind the restriction, or any sort of tactical depth bestowed by it.

This means if you're team advances but can't hold on to its gains your team loses the ability to set rally points permanently unless the enemy is stupid enough to destroy them.

Actually it does make sense. If the enemy has capped the flag around which your rally is set, then why do you want to set another rally further ahead or further back from which you have a respawn point?

The current system [0.5] seems kind of like a quicksave around every corner.

So it seems that the encircling of a uncapped flag from a team in which forces are on the attack has diminished. I think this is actually a very good change for gameplay.

Ok thanks Egg for all the quick and clear answers about the new system. It all sounds awsome and I really can't wait to try it out.

But the enemy hunt down and destroy RPs with great passion. They dont last long, espically if they can be destroyed very easy and cant be glitched.

Who said about setting a rally further ahead, what about setting one further back? or resetting a destroyed one.

I hope Rally Points can be set within the Flag raduis.

I'd imagine the team getting pushed back will have NO Squad Rally Points after about 5mins of being pushed back.

Sounds like it might go down to how you hide the RP.

I look forward to seeing it in action

This is a new and important change to how they work (and realistically is a design oversight in the first iteration of them). If your rally point is compromised (squad routed) you need to regroup again to set one.

basically we look at the CP count when you spawn, if it's equal or higher then you can continue on your patrol (set more than one unique rally point location). However if it is down from when you last spawned, you cannot set a new rally point if you have one already set but you can set a single rally point if you have not already set one.

Confucksing? Hehe well... don't play squad leader then

There really needs to be some sort of information available to the player in-game about whether he can set an RP or not, and if not, why not. Not on the HUD, but on the map perhaps.
