what do you call Base Rape?

[CallousDisregard]

Legal or not, camping the enemy main is a cheesey tactic.
Camping w/ an AAV is a supernoobnilla tactic.
It is very effective if done correctly but it depends on the other team's assumptions about base defense.

Baserape is mostly seen as being the spawn area of infantry and vehicles, and the possible compound around them. Depending on server camping the exits can be seen as baserape as well. Ramp in muttrah is one of 2 possible exits and in all honestly, I think its totally dickhead move to mine it.

But what about copters and jets? If enemy AAV is 500m away from the main, the jets can't really take off or land, but the AAV is not shooting into base. Is this still baserape? I think it is if AAV's team can't capture the base.

It would be baserape if the pilot got into jet, heard the beep and KABOOOM he goes up in the air... if "airspace" isnt clear, then its pilots decision to take off or not...

Sorry but mining one of only two exits near the MEC main in Muttrah is in my eyes base raping. Did your team even infiltrate deep into the city before you did that (2 flags left to cap)? Or did you make it your own lone wolf mission to plant mines and C4 without helping your team cap the city first?

baserape for me =

1) firing in to the enemy main without provokation
2) c4ing or mining within 175m of the enemy main

I do not count baserape for INS and Tali maps, as that is a clear and present threat IRL.

in conventional maps I hate baserape for 2 reasons 1) spawning players have no defence, 2) it degrades teamwork

regarding 2) its more fun to have 32 vs 32 guys fighting over a flag rather than 16 vs 28 because half the team is basraping the enemy main, I've seen it happen and I hate it.

I'd rather have an intense game where the focus is on teamwork and tactics, where the asymmetry of the teams comes in with full force,

also, there is sportsmanship to consider.

Because people were having fun attacking objectives is no way to justify attacking a main. Also i think base rape and base camping is the same, if the main is an uncap or not at the cap position, you shouldnt be nowhere near it.

This ^^ I'm sorry It's not clever or smart and any idiot can do it. One of the great things in PR is working hard for your kills not constantly looking for the cheap and easy way to take things out.
It spoils the gameplay and the round in general if people do this.

You want to mine and c4 around the city in Muttrah, do it in South City. In our server you go up to that ramp which is the only way out of MEC main and start minng/c4ing it thats baserape. Shooting into it, denying exit from it *especially the cases where theres only one way out*, even passing by too close we will warn and then kick for baserape. Not to be within 1 grid of enemy mains period unless it is cappable *or if your on Insurgency, then have at it*

Though it hasnt happened against server rules I am not a fan of Jets taking off on spawn and immediatly rushing to the other main to catch another jet from behind mere moments after it takes off. Happened to me on Silent Eagle, I took off in the Mig, got to 1500 meters and suddenly got locked on and destroyed seconds later. Pissed me off greatly, but because by then i was technically away from the main all i could do was bitch.

base rape is attacking an enemy main in a way that normally you wouldn't be able to. If you were a pilot during war time in an area, you couldn't just fly over to the enemy airstrip and bomb it because nobody manned the AA.
in RL, Anti Aircraft would always be manned, patrols would exist and all sorts of electronics would be monitoring the area.

When Insurgents creep up to the enemy main, thats base rape to me, can you imagine insurgents crawling up to kandahar airfield?

I have a friend who got banned permanetly on his first offense for mining the exit to MEC main on muttrah city on your server. Real bull shit admin abuse if you ask me.

not the place for here sorry, some admins are more lenient than others, Ive seen Coeman ban squads just for being too close to enemy mains. Have problems it goes to our site, not here.
