This is exactly what is wrong with you vets that look down on new players. Some of these guys might literally be in their third game after academy or however many you do in the academy. You don't know how long they have been playing. If you are trying to hold an objective and there is only a single spawn near it while the rest is 100s of meters away, there will always be those who don't want to spawn far away. Obviously it's dangerous and you're likely to die once the enemy floods the base, but it could always be worth a shot, especially as a cloaked player. Camping a CRU or an uplink is NEVER A LEGITIMATE TACTIC if you have anything remotely similar to honour. If I was in that particular game I would have rushed in on my scout and destroyed the uplink, even if I might have died doing that. If there was no chance for me to destroy the uplink I would have moved away to a supply depot and start fortify the base with a few extra uplinks of our own or possible rep hives and such. Spawncamping only happens if you let it happen. Maybe it's just me. I will also not camp a redline. There is no challenge... if I happen upon a game where my team is redlined I will leave it, and if I am in a game where my team is redlining I will protect the objective in my heavy suit even if that means I won't be seeing anyone else all game.

You don't get good at DUST by dying a whole lot after spawning. You get good at DUST by dying in firefights that only barely go your opponent's way making you think twice about approaching the same way next time.
