I'm curious to see how it'll turn out... I don't think the "overrun" mechanic is going to do much but remove the rather arcade like scenario where a squad is spawning in to create a defense at their rally point. I think the end result will be that rally points will simply not come into play, and you won't have to worry about being spawn killed at them because they simply aren't meant as defensive positions like bunkers and firebases. Personally, I think the ability to place them at any position on the map (instead of outside the arbitrary 100m zone around flags) is going to be a bigger difference, since you'll be able to use a flag that is out of play as a fairly safe spawn position. As well, dense city maps like EJOD are no longer going to have only one or two possible rally positions within the city. Not being able to set a rally for 2 minutes though... that'll be interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if offensive rallies started getting placed further away from the point being attacked to avoid an enemy patrol accidentally stumbling on them and the squad being out of commission for the 2 minute span.

You're right... i had already forgotten that we won't have to be 100m out to set a rp anymore. I'm anxious to see it in action... I just think that there are some major playstyle changes in store for us with 8.
