If this is happening on our server can people try and grab the admins via steam/teamspeak or report the names on the forum if need be.

Dont make any rash descions the game is good fun when people play it properly, Sleep on it

The ONLY way that you are being spawn camped is if you are being killed in the SPAWN area.

If this happens, then you need to notify an admin.

If you spawn on a squad member, then that is fair enough....

Alot of people complain that they spawn/die/spawn/die. If this is happening outside your main base... then...It is your own fault!

Mortars are a PITA, If I understand this correctly, if they set it up at spawn the only way to stop it is to go into the enemy spawn, or am I wrong?

As far as dMw rules go.

Yes. You are in you rights to go into the spawn and do what is needed.

And good on you

I haven't actually done this by the way, I was just asking for some clarification :flirty:

Personally I don't think we should allow mortars or anything else to "camp" in spawn and shoot out. It leads to people returning fire into spawn, and people get caught in the crossfire. There really should be no reason to stay in the spawn unless you are being dominated and you need to break out to cap flags. The best way to do that is still to either sneak out as a team or ram vehicles through the line and break out that way. If everyone is surrounding your spawn, then finding the weakest flank, breaking out and attacking on the opposite end of the map is the best tactic. Not sniping at each other hoping that the attackers will pull back.

I can understand the frustration of the constant spawn-die-spawn-die games, but hopefully they should be a thing of the past real soon. That being said, if you spawn outside your main base, it actually is your own fault for choosing to spawn in the line of fire.

It is a problem i think with the mortars being layed down in an uncap zone, ive seen people use this tatic and control the game with 49 kills to 1 death (luckily not on our server) the rule you are suggesting varg would only work for conquest i feel.

Sneaky.. Don't give up hope.

Motors are a new element to the Battlefield franchise in that they have modled them completely differently. Before, you needed Line of Sight. Now, that's not necessary.

The Admins and I have agreed a server rule to address this and that will be put into action later today and enforced rigorously.

Hang in there. Things will get better!!
