Battlefield 3 Base Rape.

Spawn...dead. Spawn...dead. Spawn...goddamnit!

Spawn camping or as it's known in the online multiplayer world, "base rape," is one of the most unfortunate and irritating elements of online play in a shooter. For those who aren't familiar, it's when an opposing player discovers one of your team's spawn points (a fixed spot where you resurrect and re-enter the game after getting killed), and just mows you down when you appear. Annoying as hell. But DICE knows it's a problem and will try to make "base rape" difficult to do in Battlefield 3, without sacrificing usability. As Senior Gameplay Designer Alan Kurtz recently stated:

"We're doing a lot with base rape prevention. Have to balance usability and spawn protection, tough choices."

If we didn't have to worry about spawn campers in Battlefield 3, that'd be a huge bonus. But we understand that it can be difficult to combat, and there will always be a few gamers who try to ruin the fun for everyone. That's just unavoidable, unfortunately.
