Re: Basecamping/raping

about five seconds of invincibility would be great. long enough to hide/run someplace safe...

Re: Basecamping/raping

To the OP:

Your team didn't get locked into that UCB for no reason. If they managed to get 3 tanks and a helo into your base, your team simply wasn't very good. It happens.

All this talk of "I keep getting killed because of X! EA fix it, KPLZTHX!!!" is pure rubbish. While I won't argue with the fact that 5 secs or so of invincibility wouldn't be a bad thing (I've enjoyed this in other games), it's not a game breaking feature for me.

I can honestly only think of one particular time that I've been so locked into a point that there was no hope of escape, and that was on Dragon Valley. The USMC had beaten my team, the Chinese, back into the southwest flag point, and rather than cap the point and end the round, they chose to surround the point with two helicopter gunships and a few APC's and simply kill anyone who spawned in. Know what I did after numerous attempts, to include escaping by boat, buggy, and APC?

I found another server to play on. I was smart enough to realize that if the teams were that stacked, it wasn't gonna change with the map.

Sometimes you're gonna be on great teams, and sometimes you're gonna be on teams that suck. Getting beaten back into one point usually isn't impossible to escape from, and contrary to popular belief, it doesnt warrant some game altering patch.

Think outside the box, find another server, or get owned.

If they box you guys in there, you deserve to get raped

Re: Basecamping/raping

You guys are calling people who base rape noobs, yet wanting the game to be changed so you can't be killed in "your" area is about as noob as it gets.

Don't try to change the game or call people noobs because you gimps suck. That's the bottom line reason why you are getting spawn raped: You suck.

Come on man .. you dont mean that .. how about if I came at your house and whenever you wanted to go out and play I punch you in the face .. well first couple of times you'd be pretty much surprissed but then you would like to find another exit of your house and there was my friend and punched you in the face again and again and again .. and again .. and in the end .. you shoot yourself in the foot and die, cause we dont let anyone in either and you blead to death .. and I'll call you an idiot for getting yourself killed @ home by your gun and your bullet .. nervous breakdown maybe !?

did you get my post .. man ?! ..

I'm not a noob for not even having a chance to run away .. got it ?

Re: Basecamping/raping

In a spawn that is not capable of being taken it is being cheap. While some people say "Oh just do this..." that is much easier said than done. Your enemy has four seconds to look at you before you are even able to move. It is extremely easy to take you out. Not only that but you have to orientate yourself to enemy who is in close proximity, changes positions, most likely behind you and already shooting you. Put armor in the mix and you'll often die before you can even move. There's only a few spots that you'll randomly spawn in which can easily be covered by four guys in the right locations. For example, the first MEC spawn point in Strike at Karkand has only five places people will spawn in: the tunnel, the alley next to the tunnel, the flag area, the alley behind the flag and the alley in front of the flag. Apply this logic to a flag that cannot be taken. With five guys you could make it virtually impossible for the enemy to move once spawned. the only reason it is "virtually" and not a definite impossibility is your enemy might run out of ammo or might be distracted from something outside the game.

In short, don't pass this off as something that only happens to noobs or something that a tricked up manuever you invented while drunk could fix. Spawns that cannot be taken should be an off limits zone to your enemy. Just put the commander's assets outside that zone.

Re: Basecamping/raping

Sounds like it's time to find a new server. It's funny seeing people on a losing side play over and over again and not quiting the server. You could get the highest score do the most for your team and your team can still loose. Sometimes you need to give up on a team and move on.

Re: Basecamping/raping

okok...hang on.

was i base camping today?

i was USMC on Karkand, and rather than fighting at the roadblock, drove up to the MEC base spawn. I then took out the guns (spec ops) and capped the flag.

i ask for an ammo drop, had a commander who listened, and spiked the MEC radar and commander hut thing.

Then i blew the bridge and camped that f*cker hard till teh end of the round...hey, if i didnt they could recap their flag and repair all their **** with an engineer right?

was that lame or just good tactics?

Re: Basecamping/raping

Let's get a few facts in order here:

1. Base Camping is not an effect of the point system. It used to happen with regularity in Desert Combat, and there were no points there.

2. Base Camping is usually the culmination of a round of bad playing. If your team does not take the initiative and hold critical positions, you will lose. If your squads do not compensate kits based on maps, you will lose. If you are not playing with all of your assets (planes & armor sitting unused) you will lose. It really is that simple.

3. Base Camping does not ensure a victory. On many occasions a good squad leader (or lone wolf) has broken out of a camp, taken a flag, and led his team to a comeback. You are more likely to lose, but it's certainly not guaranteed.

We're referring to uncappable flags. It's like camping the carrier in Gulf of Oman although some maps are easier to do than others.

Re: Basecamping/raping

Happened to me i joined the server the autobalance made me MEC which was cornered to one flag, and i spawned there, just my luck that ''ronthedon'' in the apc was sitting back firing getting kill after kill and his friend in the tank, along with the firing squad of assault class and medic's incase anyone died on the US, i disconnected...
