We were hacked. Several times over the past two weeks, in fact.
While all passwords are encrypted and salted, it's recommended that you change your password here when you can.
Un cappable bases should have automatic defences, like Patriot missiles or some kind of auto AA.
Or you should spawn inside places where the enemy cannot enter, like a turret.
"Baseraping" is a pain because it does kill the game, and why would anyone want to continue playing when they are just racking up spawn-deaths? But if the uncap bases were better equipped and defendable from the point of spawn then it would not be a problem.
Heck even if you just spawned into a vehicle or fixed machine gun/TOW/Stinger etc. it would give you a chance, but spawning into the middle of a horseshoe of tanks is just silly.
Was playing on Shraqui Peninsula yesterday on MEC side .. got into chopper and USMC was left only the TV station .. I took care of the roof while guys were attacking it from down bellow ..
That doesnt count as a base rape right !?!? .. it was a clean cappable flag .. and they weren't even that smart to shoot my ass down ...
EA could stop all that with just giving players a spawn shield for 2-3 seconds.
Impossible. Say I am capping a flag and you spawn. God mode for 3 seconds? Bam I'm dead. So unless you can't attack for 3 seconds it would be stupid.
If you are killing the helo every time it takes off then you are doing your team a favor. It isn't really raping at all. Raping would be you in the helo floating over the USMC base killing anything and everything that spawns.
Whats next...people complaining about spec ops going to their main and taking out their equipment? Deal with it. Pull back, reorganize, clear our your main and fight forward again.
I agree that people should just "deal with it" but it would be nice to be given half a chance.
Spawning inside a building, trench, turret, vehicle etc. and not in full view of a black hawk gunner would at least give a chance to "Pull back, reorganize, clear our your main and fight forward again".
As it is at the moment, you spawn, you die. It's a lottery whether you will spawn between two buildings so you can run out of the way, or into the direct line of a big gun.
Its part of the game yes, and I've done my share of it, but I think some common sense should be used...
Good Example: Is it their only flag left (uncappable or not)? If so, rape away! Or...you go in there to take out commanders assets, gotta fight to get back out :)
Bad example: Yesterday on Daging, a linebacker, tank, and some other fools came into our spawn (both sides have 1 uncappable) and started raping, however, the cp's in the map were about 50/50 --- in otherwords these tools should have been working on the cp's instead of raping our base.
It is satisfying though when someone is raping and you do spawn in a great spot to deal with it.
Once our last remaining base was being sniped and even if you started sprinting as soon as you spawned BANG M95 and you're dead. Good sniper.
On about my 3rd respawn I found myself stood behind the culprit looking down on his back. Turns out he was getting easy kills because he was very close! Anyway, it took a few moments for me to think how to deal with it, knife, grenade? Nah sod it boom boom boom went my Jackhammer into the back of his skull :)
I like baseraping and I don't understand when others moan bout it! This is a war game, would you think in Iraq the US forces would say: "let's give bagdad some space so that they can regroup and fight us more organized!" This'd never happen, if you have pinned the enemy down, you have to take him apart, don't leave them a metre to move!
Baseraping for ever!!!!! (even if it is anyoing if you're the one who gets raped )
Thats right...
Strange almost all servers dont allow it
HOW ORIGINAL!!!
Try a basecamping friendly server( yes there couple of them) for a while
and find out you have been camped hardly..
So another stupid rule less..serverowners.
No go and try to catch hackers instead of campers.
:)
Just about anything which provides you with a good score or a win (totally regardless of what it is) is considered criminal in this game. Spawnkilling is a bit more understandable because real soldiers don't spawn I guess...but I wait to hear a single good reason why base raping shouldn't be allowed.
Impossible. Say I am capping a flag and you spawn. God mode for 3 seconds? Bam I'm dead. So unless you can't attack for 3 seconds it would be stupid.
Sorry, beg to differ. Not stupid at all.
Back when I player Delta Force on line, you had about 10 seconds invulnerability on spawning. If you fired your weapon during that time, your invulnerability was lost.
IMHO, that's the best solution. A brief invulnerability (about 5 seconds) so you can get cover. If you attack during that time, you lose the protection.
Baseraping sucks for the team receiving it, and usually what I do is if the other team is down to that last base, I usually wont go in there just out of respect. That doesn't mean I wont sit there with a tank and shoot at them from a distance, because its a bit harder to kill them from afar. All of us have been on the receiving end of base rapping, and what I have noticed is it usually from a very disorganized team. People running around, shooting each other, shooting bushes, shooting the sky (over exagerating this obviously), and then all of a sudden 2 enemy tanks, and apc and a mobile aa arrive to say hi. I agree base rapping is a part of the game and will never go away, however, ethically and morally it is something no one should do be cause it is no fun for the other team. The most fun I have in BF2 is when the teams are evenly matched and hold about the same number of control points. It makes for a good battle. Sitting there at the last spawn point waiting for them to just spawn and not even trying to take the point really kind of sucks. I'm not saying that I don't do it though, if I see that there is a whole convoy of vehicles and a platoon of troops marching in, why not, its either get a few more kills or run around in circles waiting for the game to end. So...basically just know the next time you are doing it, that yes this is a war game and yes nothing is fair in war, but this is just a game, and if you are plowing them down as they spawn, imagine how much fun the other team must be having, and then suddenly the game ends because the whole other team left! I've seen it. It's not fun to spawn and walk 3 feet just to be killed again. At least this is just my view, I am not saying you can't do it, just morally you shouldn't do it for the sake of keeping the game fun for all....unless the other team really ****ed you off or something, then its ok
