Many times now, we’ve had the issue where a teammate will walk up a deconstruct a friendly MG nest, even while someone is using it. Usually it occurs when it’s in a really good spot and getting a lot of kills. There is no way to stop them, it doesn’t even tell you who it was so you can report it afterwards.
Take that out completely! There is no reason you should be able to break a FRIENDLY MG nest.
If i build an mg best for myself and someone takes its I’m either setting them on fire or deconstructing it, it is mine
I put mine down for my teammate to use, as I get 15 points each time he gets a kill. This allows me to move about and set up more fortifications at the same time.
We have the issue of OTHER people breaking it down while it’s in use. Not even the “owner” of it.
Do You folks think they don’t read what J button does, or are they being malicious to the team effort?
Alternatively, we do sometimes need the ability to remove our teammate’s irrational attempts at placing fortifications (like putting barbed wire between rally point and capture point)…
Perhaps allow to remove fortifications after the squad that built it has been destroyed?
It’s 100% being done maliciously. Usually right after they break it they sit in the same spot with their squad and get kills, because it’s a blind corner, choke point, etc.
Breaking down barbwire and sandbags is one thing. (Even though they often break down WELL-placed ones too.) However, there is absolutely no reason they should be capable of breaking down an MG nest, especially when it’s actively in use. You can only build one at a time, and you can’t hurt teammates with it. The ONLY time it’s a negative is if an enemy jumps on it and it’s facing toward your team, which let’s face it, is very rarely the case.
