As Brain said, it was 90 seconds. It was, as the name suggests, a Rally point. It wasn't a Spawn point/ are-there-enemies-around checker as it is now.

Limiting the number of allowed rallies would just be pointless, if anything it'd cause more problems than it'd solve. I don't know how, but back in .75 they seemed to work very well, the current system seems to be an attempted emulation of that but with changes in game mechanics it just doesn't fit. Reversion to .98 system is the only way I can see it working.

The solution to the rally and teamwork problem is simple....admit a mistake was made and revert back to .98 rallies but I guess that is too much to ask.
Shit! Sorry about that. I meant to say limited to EACH SQUAD.
For example:
Squad 1, they are only allowed to place 5 rallies throughout the game.
NOT Limiting rallies to 5 for the entire team. Are you kidding? I think I would have to cut my foot off if that happened.

Maybe if it were one rally per game that'd be alright, but I'd still prefer the .98 system. Rallies should be solely from reinforcing your squad post or pre-combat, not used as a respawn point for when you all fuck up. That's what FOBs are for and with rallies as they are now, less than a desired amount of FOBs are gonna get built.

YES. Thank you for stating that though. I do see a lot of squads doing that when they fuck their plan up.
But, I have to admit... I do, once in a blue moon, use rallies like that. Especially when our team is tards and crashed our trans choppers, soloed and used our Logis as trans.
