Etiquette and baseraping.

[kramit]

because you need to deprive other people from playing right?
you obviously didn't read my post because i said how many people can blow up the commander assets? 1 - the spec ops. i didn't ask how many c4s he needs or that he needs to reload. reading comprehension ftw.

Again, I did read your post, you said it takes 1 person, not one class.. I believe your quote was:

"how many people can blow up the commander assets? um...1 right? how does 1 person make it a place of contention?"

Note where you said 1 person... one person = 5 c4. I was saying it takes MORE than your proposed 1 person. With a squad of 3-5 taking out commander assets and defending them from being repaired creates that point of contention. One that is not only allowed within the constructs of the game, but actually encouraged by locating the assets in the uncappable CP.

you and your team surrounding my only spawn in tanks, apcs, and every thing else takes no skill at all. hey that guy spawnd! shoot him! he's dead before he can even turn around or move 2 feet! wow, so much skill.

That logic doesn't make sense. It takes less skill to be in a tank and kill someone tha to kill someone as a medic with a defibrillator. So what? Should we all use defibs? Should we ban tanks all together? I would contend that you allowing your flags to be taken or letting a tank role around in your main for 30+ kills shows your lack of skill. Should we then ban/kick no talent whiners like you? I say no. You should be allowed to be my cannon fodder.

Here is a question that might well be worth exploring.

YOu are having a great game, racking up the kills. Your team is good and you are kicking arse and taking flags. Only half the tickets have expired and the enemy is forced back to their uncapturable spawn (and despite what has been said I have seen it happen to the US carrier base).

What do you do now? The pilots and going to continue attack runs against the base and that should only be fair. You stand around and wait for a while and the enemy does not turn up other than a few abortive helicopter runs that get shot down pretty quick... In this game, what do you do at that point?? I mean how far away should you wait? If not in the enemy base, then outside the base? 100m away? At the flags (which would be daft considering arty strikes and bombers)? What do you do if the opponent team sucks...

That is the case in fact, if you team is lossing that badly then your team sucks. You as an individual may be an excellent player but your team (or team work maybe) sucks...

Both sides out equal, or mostly equal, on the maps so if you are backed into a corner then it is your own fault. Suck it up, take it like a man and play better next round...

Here here!. I'm of the mind that anyone slow enough to stay in their base when a majority of the enemy is there deserves to be shot. There's no way all angles can be covered at an HQ, and if you can't take down a lone mutt ravaging around for a kill then I really don't think you'd perform any better were you not being camped. Enemy coagulating around flag = good thing. It's the vehicle whores who are really the only ones who get upset.

M'sorry, but I still hold to my previous statement in regards to your scenario. If your team can manage to get pushed back all the way to the HQ at half the ticket value and not be able to have ONE person sneak out and cap a flag, then they were going to lose anyway. Babying up to them would've only made the slaughter last longer. Usually I don't base rape, i'm the dude who guards the closest flag waiting for that one refugee who did manage to sneak out.

It's a game. Play for fun. Note that the definition of fun is ambiguous (look it up) and is used differently for everyone. Example - Bunny hopping is not fun. It's annoying. Ant. - I have no problem with blackhawking. Doesn't take all that much to bring them down and that's +5 kills for me. Don't try and apply your definition of fun to everyone else.

I don't really do base raping because it ain't so fun. If they only got 1 flag and you can't capture it then I just wait by our base or far from their uncappable base and pick them off instead. If you got 1 flag left and that is capturable then its all good.

On our server, we do allow you to go in the uncappable base, but you better be in and out pretty quick or ya get the boot :)
