I’ve had suspicions about players actively griefing and being overall smooth brained and dismantling rally points for no reason, these were confirmed.
I’ve watched several players dismantle rally points built in spitting distance of the objective. When asked to stop, they ignore you and keep dismantling it. I’ve even watched a dude dismantle my rally point, he ran 30 meters back, and build his own rally point further back for no reason at all.
Also, the AI seems to be especially stupid and they will dismantle your rally point as well. You can stop them, but if you don’t catch them doing it, they will dismantle it. This is insane.

Honestly should not be a thing to destroy rally points of teammates.

i like the idea but disagree with it being universal, so maybe if the rally point is a certain distance away from a point it should be able to be destroyed by teammate. that way it will allow teammates to destroy old rally points in assualt/invasion modes

What AD9999 said… They’re working to change this a bit.
It is kind of necessary to delete other players points as often people don’t clean up after themselves and we have a points even behind the new spawn points in Invasion that people just reflexively spawn at.
Hopefully with the new way they also allow more points.

Also… sometimes people place them in just bad places for the rest of the team.
AI is very likely to dismantiling your rallypoints. If someone accidentally press an X near a rally points, AI then is very likely to destroy it.
I’m seconding the distance implementation.
I like to try helping out friendly engineers by cleaning up after them when the point shifts in invasion.

What you’re forgetting to mention, is the extremely annoying part of the Invasion or Assault gamemode, where when a new sector is captured, your old rally point remains, and you need to either run all the way back to it to destroy it, or spawn on it far away from current objective to destroy.
Its very annoying, would only make sense if rally points were automatically destroyed once a new sector has been taken, for Engineers to rush for a new rally spot fast instead of having to retreat or spawn far away to remove the old one.
But yea team being allowed to destroy friendly rally shouldnt be allowed
I agree with one tiny exception, randoms should not be able to destroy rally points but I would love if the people on your friends list who you have teamed up with would be able to do so.
Example, I have moved onto the next cap point and went to put a new rally down and oops, my old one was still active. But very luckily for me, a friend I was queued up with was back there to destroy it for me, which was a great help in allowing me to put a new one down.
Just had 2 rounds in a row where a teammate destroyed every rally point we managed to build.
Why not make the old rally point disappear by itself when building the new one and disable the ability for teammates to destroy them, seems like the best and easiest solution?

Is there a way to tell if a particular rally point is ours or the enemies? In the Invasion battles it can be hard to tell when you’re advancing into enemy territory.
They have different equipment on them (helmets are most characteristic - look for them). And if I remember correctly there is blue marker on ally point if you aim at it.
