Out of the Blue

I've seen in-game debates about spawn-camping in Battlefield 1942, and whether or not it's a legitimate tactic, or even whether such a thing can be even considered to exist. These debates combined with server messages I've seen ranging from those that forbid such incursions to those that suggest that there's no such thing as spawn-camping have inspired some curiosity to see if other BF1942 players had opinions to share on this subject. I've always considered it poor form to rush the other team's non-takeable base, but I do have to admit that with nothing designed into the game to prevent it whatsoever, it seems hard to make much of a case against it. I'm especially curious to know if the designers at DICE have ever sounded-off on this topic.

Spawn camping was a shitty thing in games like Quake but this game is all about keeping the opposing force at bay. If someone is popping heads as soon as they spawn in then that blows, but camping a base and killing poeple before they can leave it is fine. It's war, you're not really suppose to have the oppotunity to get back up once you've been knocked down. Fair tactic. The way some people whine on servers makes me think that the U.S. is going to pull out of Baghdad any day now because of all the campers.
