if anything, i try to avoid going to the fight where the cache is. if the cache is in the east and theres someone building a FOB in the north, i'll go help with the FOB. i almost never remember where the hideouts are, even if ive spawned on them.
ghosting is just wrong, and if i have to sit in the base untill the cache is destroyed so that i dont give it away, thats what i'll do.

If I was auto-switched I would look at the map and try to remember as much of it as possible, switch back and rejoin my squad, retake squad leading position and charge the unknown with full strength! I would keep the intel to my squad though, and not tell the entire team. Going on pretending like I have no idea just seems stupid to me. Fair play? This is war, not lacrosse! I would call it accidental ghosting.

I will forget the cache location or FOB unless I write it down, seriously, but incase I dont I would stay fair and I would ignore it

tell people. Then you get that warm fuzzy feeling when the entire insurgent team is like "WTF h4x gh0ster wah wah "

Surely it's:
1. Check map for caches
2. Teamswitch and claim it was auto-balance
3. Create squad named "1337ops" and take combat engineer
4. Lone-wolf ninja caches
5. ?????
6. Profit???

Technically, it's a game, not war, and therefore fair play applies

Then i got this following dillema:
Do I tell the team the location of unknown caches or should i just play ignorant.
Someone that teamswitches from insurgents to blufor (willingly or not) has some vital intel for the entire team, but should it be allowed to tell that team?
Poll maybe?
- Yes, share the info with the team! That's called teamwork!
- No, you should act if you don't know the locations! That's called playing fair!
- Just make your own squad and solo it! That's called 1337!
-edit-
Could also apply for FOB locations in AAS/CnC
If I get autobalanced to coalition side I will either stay inside main base and keep my mouth shut till both known caches are destroyed or I do something other than cache hunting, like logistics.
I have very strict principles on this and even it's only a video game, I consider those who cannot resist the temptation to be the lowest form of life on earth.

But this thread reminded me of it because the movie dealt with the same idea.
It is a sci fi movie, and the Nimitz was cruising out from Pearl Harbor and accidentally passes through a time vortex and time travels back to the morning of December 7th 1941.
The Captain struggles with the burden of knowing what is about to unfold that morning, and also knowing that the Nimitz has the power to send them right back to Japan, and then some.
I won't tell the ending here, you can PM me if you really want to know.
... just something I thought of while reading this.
Sounds like a damn epic movie I'm going to watch it!

Don't tell, just not fair. I hate being told where it is. Play as normal even squadlead, but don't use that information. Attack the known one, or if it is no known cache, get a fob up somewhere useful and defend it.
