An interesting thread about baseraping on servers

[Laxe]

Linky.

Basically the guy is moaning that most of the servers he goes to have similar 'no baseraping' rules that we do and wants it banned. Lol! Not much to say but it's a funny read!

Heh yeah depends on whether you want a casual gaming experience where EVERYONE (not just the winning team) is enjoying themselves or whether you want a no holes barred stats padding (which is what spawn killing is IMO) frenzy.

Personally I'd prefer the first option

I don't think firing into an upcap is on the same level though - the spawn points are rarely within direct sight anyway...except mortar strikes lol

I certainly hope he doesn't visit our server, for his sake at least

I do like one persons answer though. Maybe dice should put the 10 second death thing in your enemy uncap, so if you go into their base u die in 10 seconds like the edge of the map. I think that would be good, ok aybe there might be some speedy run througs in there but atleas it would stop the buggers from camping in there.?

Also i think if you are sitting in your uncap shooting out i will shoot back at you,

Agreed - just like it is on the Rush maps... You can only get so far towards the enemy team's spawn point before it becomes suicide-worthy. If they made uncaps "no mans land" in the same way, then it would solve a lot of problems.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

And like you say, if someone is shooting you from their uncap then they are fair game. Just make sure you shoot the right dude.

Well I agree with him , much preferring proper servers over kiddy rule encrusted ones with echos of 'its just not fair' wafting over their ts servers rofl, but I also prefer a bit of politeness from fellow team members also ie. the Engi repairing tank stuff etc.
