I often wonder how come bf2 don't use a out of bounds ring around main, I don't know if any of you guys played bf1942, they had it when you enter you died in 3 seconds, just put the uav and scanner in a different spot, this would stop base rape, just a observation.
The best way to prevent baserape is simply capping a flag. If you cant then I think you deserve to be base raped. I'm not going to sit around and wait for the other team to come to me.
The only problem with that is that most of the time the team you're on won't spawn at the flag you capped.bonedoc69 wrote:

You have a point. I have definitely been on servers where we have 1-2 flags and noobs are still getting raped at the uncap, typing insults as fast as they can in the 15 seconds they have between deaths. Makes me laugh, till I hear the sad music when we lose.acEofspadEs6313 wrote:

Most of the people don't cap a flag, but stand with the jet spawn point to get it, I do that too, but only when we have enough caps, if on Wake we only have the airfield, I go infantry.
On Wake its also the best place to drop a load of artillery , the helo pad is always good for two or three noobs
The only way to prevent a baserape is to play as a team, simple as that. The baserapers team is what they do if you look carefully.
Yeah, Point of Existence uses this, and I have to admit I wish vanilla had it too, sometimes.
Ultimately as long as you're not on a carrier, though, and you have a squadleader and/or commander that's paying attention, you can get a small vehicle out in all the chaos. There's been plenty of times when my team only had a single flag left, and I capped a flag by myself only to die because an airstrike or arty drop came down on me.
Hell, just earlier I watched my PLA squadleader grab a boat when we had one flag left on wake, only to go out towards the carrier with it. Meanwhile I got to South base and almost capped it while he and the doofuses with him accomplished absolutely nothing.
And, of course, if people had been spawning on me, I wouldn't need to sit right in the danger zone.

They should just take out the UCB in general. All flags should be cappable and the raping of noobs (and the clans statpadding on them) would stop.
