I know I'm going to get killed for saying this but I really don't agree with everybody complaining about base/spawn raping.  IMHO this is just whining...even though this happens to be the majority people (or maybe a silent majority).  The objective of the game is to kill the other team...all's fair as far as this objective goes!!!!

I just don't get it.  Its part of the game.  There will be times when you will be screwed and you will die 20+ times as you try to make your way out of a your only remaining base...but that part of the game.  I don't care if you have no chance!  I don't care if its not fair!!!  If your team puts itself in the position to only have one flag then you deserve the ass whooping and the other team deserves to spank you until you cry "daddy".  Those that complain are basically saying: "we didn't play as a team, we didn't follow our commander's orders, we got our ass kicked in combat, but still...give us a chance to get back into the game...otherwise its not fair".  HA!  Guess what, you deserve your fate.  If you don't like it and don't want to ruin your k/d ration then don't respawn.  Or better yet, rethink your approach to teamwork and you won't find yourself in this position again.

As far as a tank sitting around and picking of those who spawn at a point, well that's fine by me to.  Spawn somewhere else.  Or better yet, respawn with an anti tank kit and the tank don't stand much chance.  Believe me, i have plenty of hours in a tank but there's not much to do when a determined anti-tank attack is launched on you.

There's a saying: "All's fair in love and war"...if you accept this proverb, then you'll have to agree that there's NO such thing as baseraping:)
Said perfectly.  All these little babies need to quit whining and learn to play as a team.  If you don't like being stuck at a base then quit worrying about your stats sooo much and capture another one.  Yes that may mean actually playing as a real squad.  It happens to everyone so it all evens out in the end anyways.

Your arguement is really weak to defend statpading/base raping.  Weakest thing i have read in these forums yet.  Only a statpadder or short school bus rider would be okay with spawn camping or raping.  If that what your skill is limited to, be my guest.  I don't have respect for that.  Theres no good excuse for it.  Heres my reasons you don't need to resort to such low tactics. 

1.  If its a cappable flag then be in range to cap it

2.  If its untakeable you got no business being there unless your blowing up commander assets or stealing a vehicle

3.  You can always defend the bases you do have (you get an extra point for killing an enemy in flag cap range = 3 points as appossed to the usual 2 for a kill)

4.  EVEN WAR HAS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.

If I am in a tank at the last flag there is no way in hell I am going to drive up to the flag and wait for the flag to come down while enemy infantry are spawning all around me. I will wait for backup to arrive and then cap with them. If that means I "spawn camp" waiting for backup so be it but I am not going to do a solo suicide mission.

Almost word for word from another thread about 'base raping'. I fully agree and although 'base raping' is no fun, from both sides of the argument, it's a fact of war.... but it is also just a game. If you can't handle it (being base raped)... go elsewhere... I do from time to time

I swam from south to north to avoid being base raped (Wake Island), and it worked, I captured a flag.

Agree 100%
I have had games were we held all flags yet the enemy had two squads in our base!
Raping uncappables must be the most pathetic way to get kills! Worse then the plane whores!
It matters not if your team playes as a team or not! Do not project your ignorance onto others!

Funny how some claim to know how EA thinks the game should be played. You wish!

I'd rather let them come and have a challenge then trying to rack up kills like some no-skilled basecamping retards!
(appologies to all the retards for calling them no-skilled basecampers!)

@whit0x:
You are talking about a cappable and IMHO that is ok!
BF's system forces us to play that way. But this is about uncappable bases!

There is ony one rule, to win!  who has the war college ribbon?  Nobody!!

Win, its war, stop whining about it.  If you don't have flags expect to die a lot!

Remember pearl harbor, they got base raped, its war, we over-came regrouped and kicked butt. 

Quit crying and start playing like a team.

It is a game for gods sake

Then why do you constantly use RL references?
If it is a game then play it like a game.
It is either war or a game.
Would you finally make up your mind?

stat padding....unfair...base camping....get over it..it's a game. the purpose is to win the GAME. if you can kill someone do it.it's a military based  GAME. being sneaky and hiding somewhere(doesnt matter where) and killing someone is part of the GAME. did i mention this is only a GAME. quit crying and just play.

ive seen some games where the us doesnt even get a chance to get bases, mainly because they suck or cant work as a team
take this as an example

didnt let the us get a single flag that game
my pilot wasnt going to let the us get a base, and the object of that map is to stop the us taking a foothold correct.

If I am not mistaken this is also called stat padding......not fair play.......racking up points by sitting in someones spawn base doesn't make it fair play!!!!!
I respect your opinion even though it is quite moronic.  When I bought this game, I had no intention of playing fair.  Overcome and adapt.  Dont whine like a fuckin mule.
I respect your opinion also retard, now that the pleasantries are done with I said it was lazy I didnt say anything about it being fair.
Yeah sorry about that.  I somehow lost the name for the other quote and it makes is seem like you said EVERY stupid thing there.  If it makes you feel any better, you and the other poster are moronic to the same degree.

People who cannot defend their main base and get their ass raped and complain about it are sucky players. I agree with the thread starter.

i agree 100%, im so sick of the newbs crying baserape when they have no flags, their team sucks and their commander is a joke. statpadders can burn in hell but i say the exact same thing as the thread starter, "there is no such thing as base rape in bf2", they wouldnt of put the commanders assets in the main if they didnt intend on someone assulting it., this isnt bf1942.

I think base raping is fine, I just hate the idiots who on karkland sit outside the first spawn in the tank just mowing down people, they end up with 20-40 kills, but lose every time because thats all they do, they don't support their teams advance, don't try to help the team get to any flags, they are just stat whoring.  I don't think its necessarily wrong to do this, I just think those players suck.  It takes skill to ride along in the tank, hit targets while your still moving and supporting your teams advance on flags.  not as much skill as it takes to use infantry kits, but still more than sitting outside the first spawn stat whoring.

Base Raping I believe is when you just got to a uncappable base and just start shooting people spawning there, but it is not if you steal vehicles or destroy the commando toys.  I've seen many people just high-tail it to the uncappable base just to peg people off, not stealing vehicles or destroying toys, just sniping the spawn points -- that is Base Raping.

First of all. WHY ARE ALL THE NOOBS POSTING ABOUT THIS. of course u guys would be for base raping. U GUYS ARE THE BASERAPERS. I think that spawncamping is gay. And yes there is such a thing as spawn camping. Camping is when the oponent doesnt have time to reach to ur assult. If they dont have time to react then it IS BASCAMPING. How would u like sitting in a map for half an hour and just die within a second of every time spawn. And dont just say go to another base cause if its ok for one base then they will do it for every base. then u wont be able to spawn no matter where u go. Dont so just leave cause why should u just leave when people should be camping anyway. EA should make a time from when u spawn till the time u can get first hurt. Like make it one or two seconds so u cant die right when u spawn. Also baseraping is for the noobs that cant fight one foot. If ur not in a vehicle ur not baseraping. If ur in a vehicle and ur not capping a base theres something wrong. If u have NO INTENTION of capping a base....Thers something wrong. IF UR IN A TANK FOR A WHOLE GAME theres something wrong. IF U HAVE MORE TANK KILLS THAN U HAVE TEAMWORK point then theres something wrong. Dont say in the army there are specialists in sertain areas so they are like specialists in the game. THIS ISNT WAR THIS....IS.....FOR ......FUN......HAVE FUN. Sitting in a tank killing people is not fun enless ur living on the short bus. Its just for stats.

I also think the static flag rape is kind'a BS.. In real war people attack behind enemy lines. attack the enemy's HQ. Make covert operations to destroy, for instance, an enemy airfield.. Terrorism... and so on and so on...

BUT! this is a game where people (hopefully) come to have some fun - and therefore they should at least get the option of a safe spawnpoint where they can live for more than 0.32425154 sec per life...

Uh...you're not reading...we are the one's against it... Didn't know about base raping until read these forums.  What's this shit about noobs, that needs to stop, without us your stats would suck, and you would have nobody to shoot.  I see alot of VETERANS doing tactics those things people hate; using what they call (and hate) noob toobs, naders, rapers. Hey all I say is have fun, obviously I am not good at this game but I think it's fun. Some people take this too serious. Without new people coming in it would eventually be ghost servers (ie CFS,CS,BF42,BFV,SF...etc) So quit bitching about noobs and start laughing at us doing stupid stuff, while your stats rise.

Although I agree with certain points, (with the person who stated this post,) the object of most war is to complete objectives. Not simply killing. Most battles are actually fought with regard to how many casualties can be prevented on both sides. Now to the game, which is more important.

Try to think of it from the victim's point of view. They are there to have a good time, and when you spend 95% of your time re-spawning, no-one has much fun. Especially when people like me have to pay to play BF2, (My computer can barely handle 'Solitair',) at an iCafe. Then it's a waste of time AND money.

It is, to a certain extent, stat padding, but I suppose if you are happy that you have a few gold medals and kills that were gained with no actual talent or skill, then that's fine.

Just think that all you're doing is watching a fairly static TV show where you have to click a few times every 15 seconds. Does that sound fun to you?

Anyway, there's nothing anyone else can do. But if you choose to do this, just expect to be complained at.

If u didnt notice i was basically talking to the people who thought there was no such thing as baseraping like power there who think its ok to baserape cause they have no bases. If they have no bases thats not always there fault that they have none. Even the teams that have the best teamwork would be forced back because of rapers and eventually have one base. thats not the defenders fault they have only one base left. Also noobs are the ones that have alot of kills due to tanks and apcs. Not  people like urself who just want to have fun. Anyone who is having fun is not a noob. usually.
