Update: Project Reality v0.874B Open Gameplay Beta

I think the best idea so far is having to have people with in a certain distance of the rally. I think that with this you have to remember that not all squads always have 6 people in them etc.

I think it would be a good idea to say you have to have 50% of your squad within 50M of the RP in order for someone to be able to spawn. Also, if there are friendlies within this area of the RP, it cannot be overrun. This gives them a chance to defend it.

Realistically, you can't rally in an area with enemies in, but equally I don't think the rally should disappear whenever two wandering enemies pass by it; perhaps more like an FB, where if a certain amount of enemies pass by it, without taking it out, it's unspawnable for a few minutes.

Hmm. This doesn't actually sound that bad of an idea, I've been in one of those situations where your squad defends against an eternal-like waves of enemies respawning almost right next to you. And with the changes to Forward Outposts it still makes the game work fine. Keep it up!

a shame if they remove rallys tbh

amazingly ive had really really good games even with out the rally system. It works quite well in the BETA. brings alot more teamwork to the game and well i like it. A map like bracuda you would think would be won by the chinease however the americans one by about 140 tickets. Every other map i have played also went really well. So i think before passing judgment give it a go you may even like it.

As a infantryman in real life, i support what the Devs are doing, its like getting re-enforcements from the FOB or patrol base. i think that a few more additions to the FB's though is good. and having hummers and tows are a good start.

What makes Commander so unatractive isnt that you dont get to shoot, its that no one listens, i like playing commander but usualy i only have 3-4 sqd Ldrs that lsten out of the 9. a Sqd Ldrs job is to lead his Sqd but also do what hes told and relay what he see's to the CO.

every team (with the exception of insurgent adn such) should have the following units by squad.

# of Pax/ Sqd type
---5.------- man flight section
---2.------- sniper section
---12.------ man infantry ( 2, 6 man teams )
---6.------ Spec ops team
6. Supply defence support team.

squads in game look like this

commader-
- CO

Sqd1 sniper team
sniper
spoter

Sqd 2
infantry team 1

Sqd 3
inafangtry team 2

Sqd 4
Spec Ops

Sqd 5
Support/ defence/ supply team

Sqd6
Air Wing

oh and a squad leader channel would be nice ,lol

As someone who always plays as SL for my squad I think removing the rallys and replacing them with more FBs is a good idea. It makes you think more strategically about where you place your FB instead of just any random place and it also brings the whole team closer instead of just wandering squads around the map. +1 for getting rid of Rally points!

[Roddi]

Maybe this will be ok. The only thing would possibly be to have the maximum number FORWARD OUTPOSTS be the same as the maximum of teams allowed. Eg, 8 teams per side 8 FWD Outposts per side.

Great update. My guys and I have been wanting no rally points for a while now. Makes the game play way more realistic and you actually feel like you accomplish something when you fight off a wave of enemies and they don't just keep magically running at you with no time to regroup. The only thing we noticed is that the insurgent maps now have way to many spawn points. If the US is limited to fire bases they need to have the same or at least make some of the points go away over time. All in all a step in the right direction, keep it up.

Cheers
