The biggest issue with base defending extras in my opinion is the boxes, they used to be really cheap back in the day and they were very effective but now they are $35 a crack if I remember correctly (and arent given in freebies anymore) and they are no where near as effective as they used to be now that there is wide use of explosives and speedy melees. I personally think boxes should be reduced to their Origional price and therer should be a new type of box added that's tougher to destroy and is immune to gang member attacks (other than explosive ones) and this type of box should be the 35 Gralt price like the current boxes. (By boxes I mean crates)
