Increase points given for rally points and ammo boxes

There is consistently an issue with teams not dropping rally points, or even ammo boxes very often, even though they are crucial to a victory.

Rally points can keep a team from losing a lot of soldiers when trying to cross open areas. Each of these soldiers had they been killed by the enemy team would have yielded 30 points/ soldier. So why is it that the rally point only generates 30 points/ squad?

  • My suggestion is to give 10 points/ soldier that spawns at the rally point. This way, rally points give more points and are more rewarding to use, and hopefully get more people to actually use them.

Ammo boxes may or may not be as useful as rally points if placed in good locations. Though something many of us can agree on is that its extremely frustrating to be in the middle of a firefight, and run completely dry on ammo, and a resupply nowhere to be found. Unfortunately the reward gain of only 15 points per refill isn’t enough to push many players to put them up, at least on the front lines. Machine gunners, mortars, and snipers usually are the only ones with ammo near them.

  • My suggestion is to give points equal to the % of ammo refilled. This way, instead of giving a flat amount (15) for either a couple bullets or your entire ammo capacity, it rewards according to how much was refilled. So in the case of someone being completely out of ammo refilling, the player that built it gets 100 points.

I believe these changes could help get more players to start putting down these crucial structures and improve the overall gameplay as a whole.

*I know someone will kick up the argument that they should be putting these structures just for the sake of the team and the win, but as we have seen, that doesn’t seem to be enough incentive.

They need do this for win, not because they get a coockie for doing it

A rallypoint and some ammobox already boost a lot the xp gain, i dont see wy buster this further for try to make the avarage stupid player use the enginer not only for build fixed gun

I spend every game filling the front line with as many rallies and ammo boxes as I can, I wouldn`t say no to more points for doing it when not many are.

Increasing points awarded for rally points and ammo boxes is a great idea to help encourage more teamwork. I don’t see any real downside to doing this.

Especially since building a good rally point requires some extra time to move into a good position and set up. Valuable actions for the team should be well rewarded (and not just indirectly from the win).

The downside of increasing rewards is amplify bad-sport behavior which is already present in the game - braking rally points of others so people spawn on your rally point.

Breaking rally points of teammates isn’t as simple as deconstruction. Plus, if it increases the trolling/ team sabotage more, then start suspending players that do it a lot.

It shouldn’t be allowed in the first place as makes no sense.

For the most part I agree, but there are very rare occasions where it should be possible. People intentionally glitching under the map for example. Also the instance where they have a buddy on the enemy team and set it up to where the enemies can kill tons of AI with ease.

Overall, there needs to be detection in place where rally points for exploits are automatically destroyed and the player gets warnings and eventual suspensions.
