BF1942 Players - What up with no main base invasions?

[brigden]

Seriously, what up? Seems like each server I join is gay about main base, or permenant base invasions. There's a difference between base camping and running in and kicking ass.

What do you guys think?

 

[mindwreck]

BF1942 is my favorite game.. i hate basecampers. running in and kicking @ss is the same as camping. stayingin therre and killing whoever spawns is just cheap. partly shows that u don't have the skillz to take us down in the field

There aren't any rules to break unless you are hacking, tell them they got themselves in the situation by sucking at videogames. There are lot's of crybabies who don't like to lose, but pulling back in the name of making the round fun for all would just be good sportsmanship. With halfway decent players who know how to switch classes and an uncap-able base most teams should be able to fight off spawn campers, sometimes there is just no hope.

Irreguardless of the game design, it is their server. They can require everyone to move by jumping backwards if they feel like it; go to another server if you're unhappy.

If we weren't meant to fly over main bases, then why are there air defenses?

 

[styrafoam]

Yeah, if its the server admin giving you the lecture then go somewhere else. I was talking along the lines of public ones like EA and Nvidia.

 

[brigden]

I agree. It's their server, their rules, but it just seems retarded.

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

Flying over and parking a tank are 2 completely different things.

 

most servers i play on dont allow base camping unless all other spawnpoints have been taken...lets just say that the last spawn point is d-day all over again

you are wrong, sir! usage dicates grammar, not the other way around. while irregardless may have been improper grammar when it was first introduced, through common usage it has become a real word to mean the same thing as regardless.

Infighting among the grammar police? Interesting...

I'm currently banned on about three dozen Tribes servers for baseraping, both base and Shifter mod.

Would anyone care to tell me how exactly I'm "baseraping" when I'm in light armour?

If you don't defend your generators, your own dumb fault.

heh, im like the grammar warrior of light taking on the grammar nazi's.

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

Damn straight.. so many times in T2 I've been the lone defender of that stuff, only to get bitched at when i get killed by 5 invaders and our flag's taken. People don't like playing defense so they whine when people use offense!

My post was copied from www.dictionary.com. You can take your argument up with them. I just thought it was interesting.

only instance where it sucked was when some guys kept blocking spawn points in with sandbags.

Usage dictates acceptable grammar, not proper grammar.

While it may be accepted in some casual circles, it is, regardless of the context, improper. Not only that, he spelled it wrong, too.

Can we quit picking on poor ViRGE now?

I love to invade bases and jump into one of their tanks taking them out. I worked hard to get there so I'm gonna sit there till I'm killed.

 

[Staples]

I hate base rapping in T2, especially heavies in Kabatic. Anyway, I hate campers on BF1942 when they get on your ship. The thing that pisses me off most about DC is that the Iraqi humvee (I guess) can travel in 300 feet deep water as if it were land.

Actually, it shows that YOU don't have the "skillz" to keep us out of your base, so more than likely you suck even more in the field.
