No.  My fiancee and I were playing against each other once and all the crates 
kept showing up near her.
I found myself at the victim end of:
Airstrike on constriction yard.
Ion cannon to finish off CY.
Nuke to kill the weapons factory.

All within about five seconds of each other.
If she had waited another ten seconds or so I would have finished my MCY 
first...
