3 games and no one has presses “E” once on my crate. It’s really annoying that it isn’t automatic like it was in bf1. Like I do like it not being automatic TBH like, it makes the game a lot more challenging when you have to aim and pick it up but really no one is picking them up and that is my main issue. It’s so hard to get this tide of war challenges done because literally nobody interacts with them ---

The annoying thing is the lack of teamwork that people is showing in the game, nobody builds, nobody resupplies at crates, most of the people simply run from one flag to another trying to kill everybody. I can’t understand. ---

Noticed this to, trying to finish a daily assignment. I played defence on breakthrough and placed my box in a cluster of 10 friendlies, 30 minutes later, not a single enemie heald lol. This might not be a problem when people realize they have to pick them up manually, time will tell. ---

> [@Kellhendross](#): > > The annoying thing is the lack of teamwork that people is showing in the game, nobody builds… Because no one defend the objectives aside from a few exceptions (like C on Aerodrome). So you build defenses to storm them later yourself. And most of them are useless(aside from trenches) - sandbags fall apart from people sneezing near them. At least Support could build some things to deploy their MGs if only frigging bi-pods worked normally. ---

I feel like the crates are not that visible and that might add to the issue, I think dice should put a small icon on the mini map every time a crate is nearby so that teammates can actually know it’s there. ---

So if they make it so that you have to be in close proximity 1 -2 meters, then sure add it. If they want to make it like BF1, I’d rather they just keep it the way they are now. Maybe make the crates bigger so they are easier to see. ## [Link to section: I use the crates when i see them, and I’m mostly able to just quickly pick up with E while running over them, no need to stand still to press E and get shot etc. Also helps if people think about where](#i-use-the-crates-when-i-see-them-and-im-mostly-able-to-just-quickly-pick-up-with-e-while-running-over-them-no-need-to-stand-still-to-press-e-and-get-shot-etc-also-helps-if-people-think-about-where-they-place-them-behind-cover-rather-than-out-in-the-open-2)I use the crates when i see them, and I’m mostly able to just quickly pick up with E while running over them, no need to stand still to press E and get shot etc. Also helps if people think about where they place them, behind cover rather than out in the open. > [@Kellhendross](#): > > The annoying thing is the lack of teamwork that people is showing in the game, nobody builds, nobody resupplies at crates, most of the people simply run from one flag to another trying to kill everybody. > I can’t understand. - This is the playstyle that was created and honed by BF1. Might have been present in earlier titles as well, but it really kicked into high-gear when BF1 was released.
