Constant beacon spawning even though they know I'm there = free knife kills.

I usually play either Recon or Support on the Titan, so when I see a beacon, I either drop a sentry gun or an APM where it's best. Then I sit and wait for pods to appear in the sky. If I get bored, I destroy the beacon and leave. Their choice, not mine.

I usually take one or two kills from a beacon before i destroy it,

if its stuck in the environment a rape fest ensues

Acceptable.
Spawning on beacon is easier cause you can observe territory around when falling + cloud of snow or dust covers you in first second. But it would be better if pods will more controllable, or can be opened in air (for parachute deployment).

lol whoever plays this game for points. I don't, just fun. Raping is really boring. so i would do it once or twice, then get bored and destroy it.

It's one of those many things where it's only OK if you do it =p

I do it for a bit then I get bored. I don't feel immoral doing it, it's just not particularly fun. You feel a bit of satistfaction, crushing these hopeless guys as soon as they land... but that fades after 10 or 15 kills =p

Beacon camping is unfair to the spawners if they spawn once and are instantly killed.  If they do it again, then that's just stupid.  Kill all you like.

But for anyone who beacon camps, that's really unfair - the squad leader can only put down a new beacon when the old one is destroyed, and if you camp there without making an effort to destroy the beacon (as you would do if you were truly tactically minded), then as far as I'm concerned you're a score whore.

Spawning on a squad beacon, heck spawning in ANY form, has a danger of getting camped.

If you don't want to get spawn raped, don't spawn.

It is as simple as it gets.

Though, your teammates will probably frown upon you.

RAPE RAPE RAPE, bloody right, i put claymores all around the area they are going to pod down near, the games about tickets too, the more you kill the more tickets they loose, on the other hand i dont rape un-cap baese or enemy flags, but i do place rdx, claymores, or motion mines by flags and silos, its all about winning at the end of the day, as long as your not cheating or glitching, all fair in love and war.

I kill anyone who pods in why I find and distroy the beacon, but I dont site waiting for more to pod in.

Find the beacon, remove their spawn point and move on, to usually get killed somewhere else.

It's fair game if player [i]decide[/] to continue to spawn there.
In a titan game I'll destroy the beacon right away.

However it is a sensible tactical option to prevent the enemy from making use of a beacon by camping it and not allowing them to deploy a new one - means they can only come from more predictable directions.

If they want to keep spawning in and getting killed then let them. The squad leader should have done a better job of hiding the damn thing. It only takes an additional second to throw one on top of an unreachable box or drop one in the middle of a plant or something.
