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 even server owners threatening to ban these players. WHY?
I can understand the frustration but lets have a discussion about the pro's and *.
In Battlefield 2042 we have the option to CALL IN vehicles anywhere on the map so, in theory THERE IS NO BASE.
Some of us old school players remember the good old days of BF3 on maps such as Firestorm where all the vehicles spawned at base and were blown up by "campers on the hill" funny if you were on that team, annoying if it was your base. You know what we did? hunted them down and killed them in humorous ways. We didn't go off crying saying they're picking on me or rage quitting.
If you haven't already seen it, watch Battlefield friends, the BASECAMPING one. Eventually base campers got bored and pulled back to let the others take back some ground.
Look at it this way. If the other team has a squad outside your base that's 1 less squad on the map playing the objectives, in theory they should lose.
If someone is sitting behind the red line popping off shots, GO GET THEM. There is many ways to do this. My preferred technique is a suicide run, parachuting in with C5, very satisfying.
THIS IS BATTLEFIELD and should be used as such. Anything goes, NO RULES. Thicken up your skin and have fun with it. It's ONLY a game.
