Re: ABC?

I don't think trying to stop "base camping" is a good idea... Maybe limit it a bit with some spawn areas behind shields like on the titan.

The whole point of these games is to beat the crap out of the other team.. Both sides start out pretty evenly most of the time.. If you can't keep your team together to cap other flags then you deserve the deaths.  They have every right to smash you into little bitty pieces and have an obligation to the team not to let any of you out alive. big_smile

If you can't handle getting worked once in a while you probably shouldn't play games where that is the whole point..

If your team is losing so badly you die every few seconds why should the other team have to back off to let you get your bearings so you can kill them?

Sure its not Really War but its a game about War so I don't see the problem with not giving you a chance to fight back if I have the option to.  It sucks to lose that badly sure but its just a game so maybe next game you will do better...

ABC... All Babies Cry? tongue

A good push mode would be nice.. I don't really like the numbered setup of one base after another..  I'd much rather see a more web like setup. 
As GC hoth as example.. sorry... The first base to cap would Have to be the one by the downed AT-AT. Once that was capped. The power generator and the trenches would be vulnerable.  Then once BOTH the trench and the gen was capped the Base would be vulnerable.

I think this type of thing would make a better frontline battle.

Re: ABC?

Except, of course, that it's far more fun to fight a somewhat even battle than to have the tables turned on you by a sniper that's simply impossible to kill, or by a tank that's made your repair pad its new home.

Griefing. Plain and simple.

I've got absolutely nothing against having my butt handed to me as long as it's done with some sort of  honour. Losing spectacularly because some wimp is camping you as you spawn defenselessly? Not my idea of fun.

And as a side note, I don't like winning spectacularly without resistance either, which all too often is the case when you have people infesting the enemy's main base.

Except I'm pretty sure FS's Hoth won't have TIE Fighters, cause --- since when were there TIEs on Hoth???

I didn't mention FS with a word. I was making an example of how well ABC can work.

Impossible to kill snipers and repair pads?? I don't think you've been playing BF2142...

Honor?? You have got to be kidding...   Its a WAR game... Cheating is the only thing I'd consider to be dishonorable.  You don't seem to understand.. Killing you as you spawn is cool beans because you are losing.. If you didn't want to get killed like that then you should have done better before it got to that point...

See the resistance happens before the main base gets infested...  If your team can't defend a base they lose.. simple as that...  Adding some kinda extra rule that says you can't beat the other team down is just lame..

Re: ABC?

My solution to the spawn killing would be to place the spawns into places, that have enough cover to prevent people from pwning you to the spot from a distance. Indeed it would also give a much more realistic touch to the game, when the soldiers would spawn inside protected structures, instead of spawning in the middle of the courtyard. This would also be much more pleasant for the attacking team, as they would only have to keep the doorways, and windows of the buildings covered.. Instead of being forced to spin around neurotic to watch out for the defending enemies, spawning out of thin air around them.

Re: ABC?

Maybe you could spawn in a prone position?

Re: ABC?

Spawn with waving white flag in players hand which lasts something like 5-10 seconds. It's just enough to get to the cover. If you kill "surrendered" player you'll get minus points. Pretty effective I think. big_smile

I meant this solution only for uncappable base flags, if there will be ones.
