Camping bases/ base camping.
I'm an old man / old school battlefield player. There seems to be a lot of people having a whinge about base campers or enemies camping bases and blowing up vehicles leaving the base. There's eve...

@PacNbowls I only play hardcore so couldn't comment on the softcore player problems. We don't have too many problems with basecamping cos they get a swift sharp shock.
@turtlebeachedThe "softcore" part of the community is the largest playerbase (by far) and they are perhaps more 'casual', but they pay the bills for Dice.
Spawntraps are mostly annoying and they are not fun. This will make people leave and rightfully so, who wants to waste time play a boring / annoying game?
If Dice designed the maps in a way, where you could fight back when getting spawn-trapped, it could perhaps be fun. Unfortunately many maps doesn't really take that into account and you often have to cross open areas without much cover. That makes infantry gameplay almost impossible, infantry are still 90% of the players..
- @cso7777 Battlefield games used to be full of players who could drive/fly and run and gun. Somewhere down the line the players lost the ability to be good all rounders. Society is breeding a load of softness. Sad really.
I agree to a certain point (I'm old and all this modern wokeness/softness is not for me).
But BF has been pretty 'casual' for a long time now and I think you have to go back to BF4, to get the 'old-school-bf-player'.
BF4 was 10 years ago...
And I still find spawn-traps boring, even as an 'BF-vet' (and always have).
