How are you going to get around spawnkills.  The only way I can see this happening is by removing the spawn ability from flags as soon as they start to be taken.  Also, give people 10s of spawn armor or until they fire the first shot....

maybe spawning less out in the open? like under cover or in a building?  I think its ok if they're trying to take the point, but I'm not a big fan of it at uncappables, I think its a bit cheap there, especially when the carrier is involved, its not fair to the other team. Oman is horrible for having tanks and APCs roaming around the MEC base. And the carrier is not easily attacked at all now. I think some extra AT and AA mounts would be good, or maybe a mobile AA vehicle for the back bases.

I enjoy the challenge of sneaky sneaky depending on the situation. C4'ing a spawnkiller is very satisfying. Especially a smart-ass helo pilot who can LAND (WOW) and shoot his missiles directly into your face. Strap two pieces of C4 on his windshield and they have two seconds to see you. They panic and shard and muddbutt before pulling up and flying away wondering "what do I do now" never even thinking twice to bail and (OMFG don't say it Mason) abandon the AIRCRAFT!!! I meanwhile sit on my detonator....waiting ......waiting......ahhhhhhhh what the hey...*CLICK.  Its the best feeling you can get in this game and anyone who has done it knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I have had an unbearable/unmovable situation with no other spawn points where all you can do is switch to AT, hope everyone else does and watch the tickets drain. But if you have other spawn points you cannot complain. I use the "strategy" if you will in Karkand to "rape" the Hotel until the guys quit spawning there. Then I take the flag. I can leave the APC and go take a flag. I assume I am clear from the rapers who just chill outside the capture zone and crosshair your head upon birth. I admit though, I whored a bit to get my kills for badges. I usually waited for them to turn around at least.

Plane whores can really suck when spawnraping though its more a bombardment of a final base in my circumstances.

Overall though, I usually only hop in a "whoring" style vehicle (tank/APC/Helo) when they are not being utilized. There is no reason they should sit at a base when they can be unloading on the front lines. And why should we let the enemy have access to this "whoring" phenom with our own vehicles.

The most annoying spawn raping in the game occurs on Wake Islands Essex Carrier. Grrrr....enough has been said about that.

EA could have included a halo of protection for 3-5 secondsif they thought it was a problem but I like it the way it is. ADAPT as so many have nailed into the heads of you all in the past posts.

Just my opinion.

You see someone you kill them, doesn't matter the situation really.  There is zero reason to be spawn raping someone in an uncappable base though. If the situation comes up where they only have thier uncappable, I tend to pull back a bit and let them at least leave thier base, especially if I am in a vehicle.

I love spawnkilling, personally i do it as often as i can. If people are too stupid to spawn somewhere else then basically they deserve it. It is very rare in a game that a team only has 1 spawn point, and if they do the only reason they are getting spawn raped is because ppl are capturing it. Every uncappable flag has more then 1 spawn location attached to it (aircraft carrier), so its sure as hell not my fault if ppl chose to keep spawning on the top. Personally i only really spawn camp on karkand at the hotel, and i really dont see anything cheap about doing it. Their are 6 other spawn points and most ppl chose to keep spawning hotel, their choice to die and im more than glad to help em out.

Spawn killing is part of the game. Like or not and I have been on the negative side many times. what really sucks is when you get killed then spawn and get killed imediatly then respawn get killed then respawn somewhere else trying to play it safe and get artillery dropped on you. LOL Its part of the game and unfortunately there is no way to stop it without giving an advantage to those who are spawning. So instead of trying to find a way to stop it from happening.
My suggestion would be that if you are killed within 1 or 2 seconds of spawning is does not count as a death for your stats. It would however still count as a kill.  Sorta how it now works when killed then revived by a medic. If your killed then a medic revives you you do not get a death counted on you but the attacker still gets a kill count.

I would like to see some sort of short period of inulnerability, or invisibility right after spawn to give you a second to get your surroundings before your capped by a spawn camper.  Maybe you could enter the game "on the run" so to speak.  You spawn invis and invulnerable, but can't shoot. you have 2 or 3 seconds to find cover, or locate enemies, then you appear.

They should have a spawn shield, anybody ever played ET?

When you spawn your "invincible for abour 2 seconds" enough time to jump away from the tanks by the hotel on karkand!

If its at sufficeinty long range. What is "cheap" is playing as Assault/SpecOps etc and instead of capping a flag, you just wait behind the spawn points.

If you are invincible, and are still able to attack, what is to stop you from taking adavantage of the unvulnerability, to kill a player that is legitamately capturing the flag.

You need to be unable to attack, and invulnerable for a short period of time after you spawn to give you a change to get cover.

I have no problem with them as long as either it isn't an uncapturable base when there are flags that you can capture, or it's a flag that can be captured.  I'll kill people who've just spawned, but that's because I'm trying to capture their flag.

I do it when I can, I always try to cap the flag, but if I'm sniping, I just sit back, shoot, shoot, get shot at, run, then find something else to do.
