YES, they are there, and if they open fire, KILL em!
and yes, what I mean is that we can really have any set rule, cuz situations doesnt change, then I think that you should just adapt to the server rules in this case, which could leave us with funny moments XD if u have a good humour
Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple!
Since there's not enough players to set up a "base defence", you should take damage just by going near the base, instead of having a 10 second (or 30 second if your flying) counter.
IMO, there should be a "warning" zone and after that, a "damage" zone.
This would simulate a base being defended by players. You go near the "warning zone", and you get a message on your screen saying "You are near an enemy base, turn back now or be killed", or something along those lines. Go into the warning zone, and you take "simulated fire" by the "damage" zone. This way, it's quite impossible to sit up on a hill and snipe at people's mains.
If thats not possible.. base rape shouldn't be allowed. It allowed the other team to gain an unfair advantage because of a map flaw.
Im going to use kashan as an example..
In real life, there would never be 2 factions that are at war building airbases that are less then 4km apart. Because of the limitations of the BF2 engine, 4km is about as far as you can go... so thats the most realistic thing you can do. The bases are supposed to be "safe points" for your team, allowing you to rearm, regroup, and take assets with relative ease, without being bombarded by enemies.
If there was an FOB in the middle of the map (Al Basrah is a great example of this), that would be more acceptable to attack, instead of a main base.
In my opinion there should be no baserape in AAS and CnC but in Insurgency the insurgents should be able to engage and kill the Coalition forces any way they choose: IEDs right outside the main, molotovs and 'nades over the walls, shooting into the base, etc. This is after all the point of asymetrical warfare: the coalition forces have to observe different rules from the insurgents.
Base rape normally makes the ugly side of people come to the surface. Just don't do it and play a nice round. It could be super tactical, but in the end it spoils the fun for most on the server.
