New rally points

[Salmik]

So what's the deal with new 0.8 rally points? How do they work and how are they destroyed? Also why is it sometimes not possible to spawn on them even though your squad number is still there?

I think all you need to know is in the manual.

.... how i believe it works is...

If 3 enemy soldiers, on foot, get within 50m of your rally, it will be destroyed, you will have been over run.

Also if 6 squad members die within 50m of your rally it will also be destroyed.

Or a lone wolf can knife it.

And if what tommy says happens... you must wait 2 minutes I believe before you can place a new one.

In addition, I'm not sure why you cant spawn on it sometimes even though the number shows up... never happened to me :shrug: sorry

Try tapping enter wihle your rally spawn is selected.

It seems to be a glitch with the BF2 engine, where you can't spawn if something is 'in the way' of where it wants you to spawn, and tapping enter seems to choose a different area for you to spawn so you don't get stuck in a tree or building.

^ or try switching your kit, then switch back to the kit you originally wanted

Or if you can still click the white dot, you keep it selected, and click done, bring up the tab, hit done, bring up the tab, hit done, bring up the tab...etc. Normally works after a try or two.

Though I have never seen the white circle actually disappear, so I dont know if thats what you mean... but I HAVE had it where it wouldnt spawn me on the first time I clicked "done" so I just tried again...

Yay more people assuming stuff.

...but as someone said there's a way to get around it.

Spawn on another squad's rally point [if there is one]. This will teleport you to your rally point. If you do not have a rally point it will teleport you to the "main" flag, whichever that may be.
