Another minor difference between PS2 and BF3 is how you spawn. You cannot spawn on a squad mate.
You can spawn at the nearest location your faction has control over. You can also spawn on some vehicles. Last I played they were doing away with spawning on Galaxies. This still true? You could also spawn on whatever the big trucks were, cant remember their name.
So nothing is keeping you from driving/flying one of those into a base, landing it, and keeping some engineers on it as everyone spawns there.
