ahem, technically it could be called "waiting in ambush"...germany, russia, britain and the u.s. did it during the war, with tanks as well as artillery...fairly realistic tactic considering the context. just sucks when you don't have a full company of tanks to help take out the campers.



C'mon man. Thats one of the biggest crocks I've seen in a while. Spawn camping is as much "Waiting in ambush" isnt even remotely realistic even in the context. Its like calling the batter out on strikes before even gets up to bat.

When the opposing tank drives some distance and you wait for him to clear a building your hiding behind to get a clear shot on him then blow him away. THAT is waiting in ambush.
Spawn camping people before they ever even get a chance to move and half the time before their graphics even finish loading isnt even in the same universe. Let alone context.

Its like clubbing a child to death in his sleep and then claiming self defense because he might have grown up to be a bad guy.

gotta say dred's right. real ambushes in this game are a tactician's nightmare. You need to predict the most commonly used approach path to a target and set up a defensive configuration with multiple GVs covering multiple chokepoints. with all of this there's still the chance that once the enemy arrives, they take a different path rather than rolling into your sights. completing a good ambush in game requires patience, cunning, and tactical knowhow. camping is just annoyingly annoying.
