How on earth is placing a rally on a tree stand, or on the edge of the map exploiting the game? Sure they may not be the smartest places, but so what.

People going on about how its unrealistic... wake up smell the coffee.. IT'S A GAME, NOTHING is really realistic in it. Nothing. Sure it's an attempt, and a very good one, to make a realistic version of BF2.. but this is still a galaxy away from reality! You simply can't talk about the spawn system and reality in the same sentence. Moan about unrealistic recoil, or flight dynamics.. but not the spawn system... just sounds ridiculous. You can't have a realistic spawn system. :roll:

In this game squad leaders will do, and should do whatever they can to hide their rallies. And having rallies away from the fight is a good tactic. Where do you want them to place them?. on the road leading from the enemy base??

Cookie for the most creative rally! I say roll on the fancy rally. Normally there is no challenge in finding the enemy rally... you tell me where you saw a enemy squad moving and I'll put a marker within 10m of their rally, just about any map, and any squad leader.
There's no such thing as a realistic spawn system, but there can be such thing as a realistic re-enforcement system.

I wouldn't say it's always obvious where a squads RP is. Some squad leaders play aggressively, and have them close to a flag and use rush tactics, some might have it a very long way away, so it's safe and can maybe even cover 2 flags, and alot of squad leaders will move rallies often, but some might find 1 good place, and flank an objective to confuse the enemy as to it's whereabouts.

What really anoys me is when people place RP's in water.
Though it can sometimes be funny just killing them as they spawn in the water and swim towards you. lol

You see a bunch of guys keep coming out of some absurd location like some sort of clown car. It doesn't really simulate RL IMO. I would be happy just spawning from firebases/bunkers though even that it stretching "reality" pretty far as those things are not constructed during combat and in under 3 minutes. I think unarmed APCs and or similar troop carrier vehicles which everybody could spawn from would be a good approximation of RL dynamic reinforcements/advancement of troops and of course captured objectives could be spawnable as well.
Disagree if a position gets flanks from the west out of the bushes not 6 soldiers come but like 30, rallies simulate that. Proper realism would be to have 400 players instead of 400 tickets and each one life, but if you mess up you might have to wait a looong time, not to mention the lack of discipline in whole platoons holding back untill they are called into action.

However, I disagree with placing them in trees and outside of the combat area. Not for realism, but for gameplay. That is a bug. They are not supposed to be placed there. Shooting them is loud, and placing them in a tree in a small map like OGT is somewhat unfair.

But, uhm... hasnt there been a thread about this some time ago? Ending up in flames?
As far as I know they're staying in for .8 I got a wink in a suggestion thread about them a while ago. Might be the flame thing you were talking about I kinda lost interest in the thread after everyone started bitching.

Actually the distance from rally is measured horizontally from the RP so you can still get kits if you get close enough to it.
