HAHA NO! I suppose it can happen though, without it being a glitch, but could be very rare

I heard you like caches so I put a cache on your cache so you can rearm while you rearm.

Try the six we had spawning in the d2-d3 area on Fallujah, or the four that spawned in a row in the basement of the mansion.

:shock:

well...I'm not a code guy really but can't this be prevented? Actually I'm curious if there are certain number of cache areas or every building/room can become a cache point?

3 that spawned in the same builing during the Ramiel PRT battle. All three taken by one arty strike.

You can spawn a lot, but every one that you have as a potential spawn area is one networkable object. So I think we can only have a few hundred. And with the amount of rounds played in PR, its bound to happen that youll get a few grouped spawns on occassion.

Of course, this could be fixed by not having random spawns in the same house more than once and just maybe having a few less places total as a result, but tbh, its not a big deal. Just imagine that that round you had an inept INS leader or whatever ;)

Or that your leader decided to put all their eggs in one basket. I'd consider the above a good spawn, you can get double the amount of your team there, combining your defences.

On the other hand, the enemy is all attacking one point though, but if it's a good, defendable position, that could be a gamewinning cache spawn.

I've very rarely seen 2 caches spawn too close or right on top of each other. However, I've heard a really lot of people annoyed about it, and if a small number of hours could be spent on fixing it, I think it would greatly improve PR.

It doesn't happen very often, and it's because the coding just randomly selects a 'spawn point', eliminating spawn points that have been occupied is one thing, eliminating those in a geographically similar location would create a programmer's headache, as well as the mapper's, having to number them...

Depending on the current implementation I don't see it as being a particularly hard issue to address, especially if it was quadrant based...
