    this game is starting annoy me...

    Me and my brother were playing on a Karkand-64 server for some clan called =BR=... we were pretty much dominating all of the games... then in the last game, we were USA we took over the MEC base early and i actually started to get challenged that game and kept dying by roving convoys of tank/apcs. And they kept retaking their MEC base and they actually started to win... so i said screw it, i took over their base, me and my brother took a tank and apc and someone else jumped in the other... they kept driving up trying to take the flag and sending waves of anti-tank guys at us while we tried to get supplies and stay repaired... dying once in a while... one guy in particular did 2 long distance BS anti tank shots that curved over the fence and perfectly hit my brother... anyways, so we're all defending the flag, and i made a few attempts to take the Warehouse that they were hiding in but that usually meant death... then suddenly me and my brother both got kicked for 1 minute by an admin when the game was almost over... the reason "spawn camping"... first of all, i don't know if he means we were camping on their flag killing them because we weren't, and even if we were, who cares... or if he means we were camping our flag which we were defending and they kept trying to take... either way, it was dumb... so we both went back on and said some choice words to the admin... my brother got banned permanently... i don't how i didn't... anyways...

    i was wondering what the concensus here is for "spawn-camping" and defending and camping in general... it's not like they didn't have other flags to spawn on... they were challenging us and we met the resistance... i just don't know what was going on in this admin's head and i hate servers that make up rules as they go along and ban seemingly because they don't like it when they lose and the game isn't going their way... there are no rules in war... yes some things like glitches and stuff are just plain wrong... but defending a flag and killing the enemy any way possible is what this game is about...

    and i may as well ask since i don't feel like making another thread but is there a hack or something that makes people invisible or go into walls or something? on Karkand-64, there were two guys who were by the MEC flag and were showing up on UAV near that roof that people get to from the crane... i zoomed in but no one was on the roof... i thoroughly searched the area but no one was around yet grenades kept falling on me... i artilleried the area... nothing... if i searched on foot i'd get killed... so either there's an awesome hiding spot or they were hacking... and the next game one of the people that was hiding there had 95 kills and 5 deaths... now i wouldn't say anything about that if we weren't completely massacring their whole team and they had no APCs or tanks to use... which means he must've gotten 95 kills on foot... 85 of them were within the first half of the game... this game is just really starting to annoy me...

    I think that it is a lagit tactic, if you have all the flags and they have one base left, even if it is there uncappable. But it is just a waste of time to camp an uncappable base, when they still have capable bases, unless you are there to blow or steal assets, which is lagit at any point in the game.

      I don’t like it but it is part of the game and real life. If I have an enemy pinned I will at least send someone in to attempt to take the flag. I hate it when they don’t even try and take the flag.

      The way I look at it is it's my fault for letting them get all of the bases and push me back that far, and its my responsibility to get out of there. Some people play with such a narrow view of the battle that they don’t see the big picture. There is almost always a way out, you just have to be able to see it.

        The UCB is there for a reason. Most of the time, because who ever has the UCB is at a slight disadvantage. Camping the UCB is a no-no in my book. If your team has all the flags, bravo. Set up defensive positions defend them. Let the enemy regroup quietly. Even in real life, the main base would be too far away from the main line, so this is not a legit, nor valid tactic. There should be a place where the team can formulate some sort of plan. Spawning and getting killed over and over by a tank just isn't right.

          if you are sitting near an enemy flag, killing them but making no attempt to capture it, you are a spawn camper

          if it's your teams flag and they are sending waves and waves of people, trying to capture it, you are defending it, that is a legitimate tactic

              Spawn camping when attacking flags, and when defending against squads is ok imho

              You know when you've been killed by a spawn camper, it's just like bad deja'vu :laugh:

                what do you mean by "when defending against squads", spawn camping is offensive not defensive, if you are just sitting there at your own flag it's not camping (it's called defending a flag)

                  I mean when the enemy squad is attacking your flag, you are presented with the opertunity to spawn rape opposing Squad Leaders' members. I do this often before taking out the squad leader, taking out a squad can really shift the battle, as you know..

                    I'm with this guy - at the end of the day, IT IS A GAME!!!

                    Everyone who spouts stuff like 'it's war, win at all costs!' etc is a fool.

                    If you own the map and the enemy is left with the UCB, defend your territory, you've already proved your better than the enemy by pushing them back to the UCB.

                    Make the game more interesting by letting them get organised and let them have a go at taking ground from you.

                        Spawn camping is when the APC is killing everyone that spawns in the alley on Karkand.

                        Intentionally pointing your weapon of choice at the spot they spawn is spawn camping.

                          i think to appease everyone, everything should be banned in game.

                            BTW- that "hack" you were talking about, those guys were inside the building. Theres a lot of talk about it in the forums.
