Well, what a shame we can no longer build ammo boxes then. Because xmas trees are more important.

It would make more sense to leave them free but provide no XP.

Engineer might be hardcoded to get 1 engineer point for a building and it might be too much hassle to fix it for this single use on Christmash
What, so thats why they did it 
Ban the clown, that exploited it ffs
YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME !

I think its mostly because players put them in doors to stop enemy bots and players.

I actually build tons of them up on a coal/rock loading tower that got exposed a bit for our sniper yesterday 
Think that made his day and was perfect to hide behind those christmas trees. I also gave him his own personal ammo box

Increased cost for building a Christmas tree in resources from 0 to 3.
increasing resources for x mas tree was not worth it, i mean why ? are devs not happy we are planting trees for free ?

Also devs: patch the exploits asap

And that’s how this cold war is going on.

So far nerfing rally points so there was like 92% area of the map they were forbidden to be built was really mind blowing. I couldn’t understand how they could push it into public branch without prior testing. At least they reverted it back pretty soon.
So far there were:
- Shotguns Nerf
- Rally points Nerf
- Semiauto ROF Nerf
But I may be forgetting something else.
there were some seemingly random changes to the bombloads of the pe-3 and bf 109 f-2 aswell
All of these recent questionable nerfs starting with semiautos is just
defo more to come. Have no doubts.

It’s highly possible with spaghetti code that they put 0 pts and somehow it overflowed and gave 100000000000 pts.
Christmas trees are legitamently valuable tactical tools, actually. They block line of sight but not fire or movement, so you can use them in windows to provide protection from snipers without preventing you from using it. You can hide barbed wire or mines under them. You can force enemies to enter a room before being able to know where any possible threats are. Etc.
I reckon thought that the change is more aimed at people inflating their score/engineering assist count by endlessly building christmas trees, than it is at people using them too effectively.
