Objective Prompt removal when already in progress.

How about getting rid of “press F to repaiar” when somebody is already repairing? Same with planting/defusing to stop new players from thinking they are helping with the process. No other game lets you do it which is why it’s understandable that noobs think they can all huddle up and hold F together.

It really doesn’t add anything to the game and makes pub games unplayable with 4 players holding F on the EV at one time.

I will say one thing here, I was planting once as Bushwhacker and a Skyhammer was planting next to me. He had gotten there first but I arrived soon after and I knew my plant would still go down first.

Then I got shot in the head by a Vassili. Skyhammer finished his plant and we pushed to the next objective after it blew.

Having multiple people being allowed to do the same thing at the same time isn’t a bad thing. The problem is that players need to be educated about the entire process. Right now there is no tutorial for being an engineer, but we need one.

I was actually about to say that clutch situations are probably the one exception, but they’re so rare/few and far between that it’s really not warranted. At the very least have a LIMIT of 2 players being able to hold F on an objective, any more and its just madness. Entire teams standing behind an EV holding F while I’m sweating bullets trying to keep them all alive.

Yeah, I don’t know why you don’t get the message “teammate is already repairing/defusing” when you attempt to do it. Odd design choice and it was alleviate a lot of newby problems if they changed the way it works now.
