a heavy suit with a HMG.

Dropship pilots.... DO YOUR JOB. Your job is to fly around and look for people to squash and your job is to set up on a tower or building and fire down.

Dropship pilots.... DO YOUR JOB. Your job is not to fly around and look for people to squash and your job is not to set up on a tower or building and fire down. You are suppose to pick people up and drop them off and also provide air support though flying around with your gunners.

how much time have you spent flying a dropship?

and how much of that time did you have gunners?

i squish the hell out of the other team so my team realizes that they need to get in my gun seats because i am an impressive pilot. once i have a gunner, or two, i dont squish(as much )

Sorry, I got stuck on him condemning the use of remote explosives as an in-a-pinch grenade (somewhat reasonable) and advocating its use for spawn-camping (REALLY?!). While not exactly conventional, it could work. The spawncamping, on the other hand, is 100% pure bullshit. By all means, mine choke points, but the spawn itself is ridiculous (and easily fixed, by not letting you place explosives within a radius of spawn-in points). Had exactly this happen yesterday, don't know how many remote explosives come with a loadout, but he used at least 10 to kill people trying to spawn at the only forward spawn. That's, quite simply, cheap, unreasonable, and unrealistic. FAR more unrealistic than throwing C4 at someone then triggering the detonator. You blow up the thing that people spawn out of, you don't just camp it for free kills (and they are free, since it's literally impossible to get out of the blast radius in time).

There is no need to prevent placing explosives in spawn points since spawning in the same place is a known bug.

Once they fix the spawn bug, everything will be fine.

Depends on the implementation of the fix, really. Either way, I'd support having destructible spawns and a hefty point reward for killing them, specifically to discourage spawn-camping. No spawn at all is better than spawn-camp-farming bullshit.

Intended Spawn Mechanic: You spawn in some random area around the spawn point and not always in the same place. The area is supped to be some radius from the point big enough to be "un camp able"

Except for drop uplinks, which I think is supposed to be right on top of it every time.

Destroying CRU's is not a bug, thats just smart gameplay.

There's a quick test for tactics: Did it work? Then it's the correct way to use it.

no no no no no thats not how tactics work. take a lesson from the 40k universe:
"if your plan is working, its a trap."
"the most dangerous thing on the field is a junior officer with a compass and a map"
"incoming fire has the right of way"
"fight battles that are small enough to win, but large enough to matter"
"attack is the only order worth remembering"
"everyone has a soft spot. its right under your chin and its called your neck."
"if all else fails, waive your hands above your head, run around in little circles and begin screaming."

there, you are now fully capable of fighting.

Another solution could be a trick from killzone mulitplayer: when choosing spawn points you get a camera near the area showing you how much fighting is going on near there, also giving the player a visual way to see a enemy bombing up your spawn. If you are trying to spawn at a heavly contested spawn, you should know the risk you are putting yourself in!

Actually that comes from some time before 40k, its murphy's law of combat...

No, no, no, NOOOO. No free intel. Period. Anywhere. You want intel? Gather it. The system you propose is like what the Consu believe in "Old Man's War." Let's kill off one of our guys, then his ghost can go check out these other locations and report back what it sees. Wounds familiar, right? Because it's exactly the risk-free intel you're suggesting.

No intel that isn't earned, no killcams, no spawncams, no automatic, free identification of exact suit models / tiers (other than, MAYBE overall class such as pilot/heavy/scout/assault/etc.

Earn your intel.
