Ok,

So hopefully people can take advantage of this. I call this tactic "Spawn Blocking" (Which was so cleverly demonstrated to me by the hands of clan warchild).

Take a vehicle/armor.
Drive to an enemy spawnpoint.
Park it there.
Do the same thing with other potential spawnpoints.
Pwnt.

It works really well if your team is attacking a flag, the enemy won't take notice of you doing that shit. But once its done, all the enemy will see on their spawn screen is a red dot (unspawnable spawn point).

Yeah that's especially nasty during scrims if the other team only has one point left.

Doesn't work well in pubs unless you have a few guys you know playing. But yes, in matches and or pubbing with a group of guys, it helps quite a bit. Thanks for another random tip Nyte .

Vehicle Drop(s) work for that? I would rather just stay airborne and murder the infantry with the Havok instead of landing it, but you can still gun Construction site and such . BTW, Hi Trigger . Haven't seen you since a while ago, no BF2 for me lately. .

It's the best to fly the Z-8 on Wake into the bottom hanger of the carrier.. Park it right there in the water and the USMC troops are forced to spawn on top of the carrier. This is exelent for spawn raping in the J-10.

same thing can happen if friendlys spawn there, and they havent moved yet. puts a big red circle on the spawn point insted of it being white - and making it unable to spawn there. A lot of ladder matches used to not let you do this at the non caps.... though i havent even heard this mentioned in a long time. +1

So that is the reason they turn red...

You dont need a vehicle to do it. We did it alot in matches. All flags have 3-4 spawn points. All you need to do is place people in certain points and you can control the flow of spawns.

sharqui, drive a humvee down to the heli spawn and use the vodniks to block the other two > also if you steal the helo and leave one point. its fish in a barrel (most people are too dumb to spawn anywhere else)

It's completely lame, on IHOP someone parked vodniks on the uncap spawnpoints on Sharqi he then got in the chopper aimed it at a vodnik, got in the gunner seatand blew up the Vodnik then gunned people down with the chopper as they spawned, needless to say he was banned.

I always wondered why some spawnpoints turned red....

You'll see them turn red becuase a bunch of people are spawning at once so they'll be standing over the spawn point when the spawn, it's nit necessarily a vehicle.

It's kind of lame in the sense that you're not defeating the enemy based on skill. I prefer to mow down spawning enemies legitimately. Not saying you shouldn't practice spawn-blocking, but I personally souldn't really do it.

It's about winning - cutting off the enemy's supply lines sounds like a good tactic to me. Can't say I agree with the spawn rape thing...

Kaboom.

how exactly does this work?? if you were to block one spawn point at a flag that had multiple spots, would all the others stop working too? or would everyone spawning at the base be focused to the other spawn spots?

+1 for teaching me how the red dot worked, always wondered what it popped up for.

There are about 3 spawn points at every flag and those all have to be blocked, otherwise, people will continue spawning on the others
