I know that during gameplay I have spoken out a few times on this subject. The issue I have, at the beginning of games both blue and red spawn at the same base. If you rush for a rocket hog or even a machine gun hog with a partner on your team just to get away, many players nade straight off the bat without seeking a hog. I find this really unfair, they also have equal opportunity to seek out a hog, but choose not to, causing much chaos at the start of games. BFM Invert says its ok to nade if the hog is loaded, which I understand once the game has started and movement is occurring.
Many times when killed at the start you respawn at a base with 0 hogs, therefore i can only assume, that a nadefest is the best way to play at the beginning of each game.
Thanks for your time
