Sorry MissChief but uncap base spawn killing is a no-no. That's been one of the widely used server rules since BF2 days at least.

It's not by chance that you can't get into the uncap bases on other maps, they were designed so you couldn't do that, but with Kharg you have the advantage of height to get line of sight. The admin was right in the decision to kick you I'm afraid.

Just wondering what peoples opinion of this is. Was playing on a server tonight with Westie and some other mates and I got kicked from the server for shooting into the RU spawn point on Kharg Island from the hills. Now this isn't really something I normally do, but the tanks were shooting at me so i started shooting back, then i got kicked by admin! I went back onto the server and said in chat 'If they shoot from the spawn at me, then expect to be shot back at', then I got kicked and banned for 'bitching'!

Anyway I went onto their TS, had a chat with them (perfectly reasonable guys TBH) and they agreed to lift my ban and I logged back in and lost 10,000 points and nearly a double K/D ratio too. :(

Anyway the point is, whilst I wouldn't normally shoot into a spawn point, if youre shot at from within one, do you shoot back? Should players expect to be able to shoot from within a spawn point with impunity? one of the people shooting at me was the admin apparently!

in the same sence that people shouldnt shoot out of spawn

if someone shoots at me from spawn im going to kill them

any server that doesnt like spawn rape and lets people shoot from spawn isnt worth ****
 
Someone shoots at me from spawn, ill shoot back. Too many bs rules that server admins enforce in this game. Other examples being, no rpg/smaw/m320. Theese are all no go now since the assignments came out to unlock the new weapons.
 
I take it bobisuruncle thought what he said was so important that he replied and quoted me!

There have been times, say as a gunner in a chopper where the pilot has taken me over the RU base on Caspian where I've refused to fire a shot as I'm not big on spawn rape at all. I've had it done to me and it sucks wildly, but if I'm being shot at, I shoot back. ANyway, I'm no longer banned so happy enough.

I was in a game last night, killed in base a few times. Said nothing, done it next round myself, got called all sorts. If you can give it, you should be able to take it as well.
 
Anyone think that the respawn could be tweaked?, Sometimes the game spawns an enemy directly behind you at extremely close range so you have no chance to defend yourself.

Before anyone says well you should always check all sides, I had the game respawn an enemy partly in a wall! :p

I think they work the spawns like this on purpose. It's left behind from the console version, because they only have 24 player counts, when spawning it places you near an enemy so they can stimulate action.

Personally I think it's entirely lame, but there you go.

No, they weren't and it's backwards thinking to even have out of bounds spawns.

Pretty much the whole of BF3, watered down in almost every area because of consoles and bad casual gamers.

So with all these people moaning about hackers etc etc, I thought yeah whatever.

But Today i was a gunner in the chopper, the pilot was awesome, totally owning the antenna flag on Caspian Border + darting to the gas station + forest. He was owning Tanks + AA Tank + jeeps with rockets + soldiers on foot.

Between us we had all the unlocks I was doing well with my gun + guided missles.

Each time we went below 50% health he did this what almost seamed auto drop to ground level and fly very quickly back (but too quick really) to our base but in an odd sometimes sideways movement repairing as we went.
I'm convinced it was some type of hack or physics manipulation.

We did this for the whole round on only got taken out once when we got rammed.

I just didn't seam right, almost robotic, anyone seen anything else like this ?

None of the bf3 multi hacks I've seen make any boasts about letting you fly the chopper better.

He could be just very very good.

What load out was he using ? A lot of good heli pilots I've seen forgo flares or ECM jammer and use extinguisher. Take the hit, out the fire out, then keep low so you can't be locked onto by jets (below radar unlock) and stay away from enemy engineers while it auto repairs

We've got one of the top 20 chopper pilots in the world on Xbox on here, and it's amazing what they can do

If the enemy wants to spawn on the flag you're taking, where do you propose it spawns them ? If it spawned them too far away they'd be spawning in the middle of open ground and not at the cap point, then people would rage even more !!

The spawning problem is entirely of your own making.

Don't spawn on contested flags or squad mates being shot at !

lol

So capturing flag points is my problem?, Having an enemy spawn partly in a wall in a corner behind me is my problem?.
:confused:
