Minumum Spawn Distance for Insurgent Caches

llPANCHOll · 04-18-2009, 09:11 AM

Often after destroying a Cache another will spawn in close proximity to the one that was just destroyed.
Arty dropped on a Cache location often will destroy the cache and the next one to spawn as well.
Multiple occasions I have seen a Cache destroyed only to have another respawn at your feet.

This is a detrement to gameplay.

This has to have been reported yet I cant find it in the Known Bugs section or through multiple searches.

It's an issue, but not as easy to solve. Well, it's really annoying to solve actually

I will consider it.

Sorry for bump but I diddnt want to start a new topic.

I was thinking:
300M apart
400M from last one
200M from 3+ enemy

200m from any enemy to be honest, and it shouldn't be able to spawn in the same location more than two or three times per round. There have been rounds of Archer which 8 of the caches spawned in the village, and the others spawned close to the village, or under the us positions overlooking the village. It's aggravating when a cache spawns directly in front of a squad of infantry, with absolutely zero possibilities for defense.

I don't suppose a quadrant flag on the cache rand picker could be used, making it such that two active caches will not share the same quadrant of the map? Perhaps overly simplistic but I think it would serve for better use of the entire maps. I've seen rounds where six caches have been concentrated in one quadrant, which I suppose is ok at the end of the day, but I'd prefer to have a reasonably large spread between them.

yeah it sucks but i dont think its bad enough to waste much time over fixing.

I've seen that happen once on Archer. But those 4 caches were the only ones Americans managed to "find" and destroy in the whole round

That would be nice. A lot of times after destroying a cache they will build a FOB in the area then another cache spawns on top of it
