+1

Dice put LMG's, TOW's and AA in the uncaps for a reason, It's  war ....there are no boundries.

And to those who say "it's not war, it's a game"...well it's a game that SIMULATES WAR.

I generally prefer servers with no baserape rules. Because, frankly, I don't like being pinned down and constantly bombed/shot/artilleried. As such, I also avoid maps with jets because that makes it FAR too easy.
And if some idiot screws up and crashes the jet and the enemy either starts fragging it before takeoff or caps it's flag, you may as well quit because you're not gonna win or get any more points.

Spawncamping is an iffy thing. If you're just sitting back blasting away at a flag without even attempting to cap it, you should be kicked and possibly banned.
If, however, you're capping the flag, killing people as they spawn, or supporting the cap attempt from long range by doing such, you don't have a choice about it. You're spawnkilling/camping, and they'll kill you otherwise. Can't very well sit around and let it happen.
I think waiting around for spawnkills should be kickable, whereas spawnkilling when you're doing something else at thetime shouldn't be.

Stealing vehicles from uncaps is another rule people bitch about, but is necesarry to maintain the intended balance of the map. If you can cap both tank spawns legit, then go ahead, they can fight about it. But sneaking into the uncap and making off with a tank? Stupid.
Although transports should be exempt from that; if you're sneaking in to frag the assets, you can't be expected to walk off when there's a shiny new hummer waiting for you. (Just make sure to bring an teammate along to stick mines under the spawns for the armour. Anyone not checking deserves it.)

No-TK rules just mean I get kicked for badly-aimed artillery, stupid mistakes, and bad timing.

High-ping kicks are a good thing. If I left my torrents running, I deserve to be kicked off for not thinking first.

I hate the servers that say no uncap attack  but a team seem s to get screw by that rule all the t time.

I got banned last night for arguing that with an admin the sever was (peacock) they were allowed to attack our uncap but i got kicked for bombing theirs.

It was not me "peacock" who banned you...It may have been another admin.
Our rules were set up to maintain population..If someone is bombing or engaging in an uncap in our server we traditionally warn the first time, kick for a second time and ban on the third. Of course I do have 16 admins from all over the world so I'm not sure of the circumstances, however I am sure that if I banned you....you deserved it.

i dont care either way.  as long as you are allowed to fight back if you are attacked out of an uncap, great.  as far as servers that allow baseraping, its ok but the teams usually end up getting stacked really fast, and then it turns into smurf genocide, which then causes the server to empty out.  if there is a good autobalance running on a full server, baseraping really isnt an issue because there will be more important priorites like capping flags to stop ticket bleed, or stopping the enemy advances.  if the only way i can keep an opposing player down is by baseraping the jet and heli spawns, then i need to practice more.  and as far as spawn camping goes, u deserve what u get if you don't realize you can spawn elsewhere or with the right kit for the job.

when it comes to servers with rules like no stealing vehicles, no explosives on flags (the most pathetic rule ever), no engaging over uncaps, no spawn camping, and no bunny hopping, i consider it full of admins who are completely garbage at bf2, and will kick me even if i kill them within their rules.  i used to play on a server all the time with a no bunny hopping rule, played well, and still raped the admins.  i then started getting kicked for "suspect play."  that is some bullshit so now i generally try to avoid those servers.

let me correct you general genitals

take what you said and remove the word "playing" and add the following

1) hacking
2) teamkilling
3) spawnkilling
4) flaming
5) glitching


seems to me your still thinking with your ass like always

Base rape is fun, there is nothing wrong with it!! Same with Spawn Camping

there is a good chance that is usually isn't their fault, but the teams. i was playing earlier and half my team(MEC) was on one side of the map and the rest on the other, while US was moving in a nice group. while we weren't getting base raped, we got regular raped. wasn't my lack of skill that got me killed a bunch, it was my team dicking around like retards and me going 1 against 6 trying to defend flags.

And on a different note, since everyone is saying what they like/don't like in severs, I try and avoid servers with heavy clan presence. Having one squad on a team roll over the entire other team because they all are talking to each other gets kinda annoying.
