Everyone who has played BF2 Conquest Assault knows that when you've capped out the other team, part of the fun is hunting down the remaining survivors. Conversely, the survivors are on a mission to cap any flag at any cost.

Fast forward to BF3. How does this work? I'm unsure if any assumption from BF2 is valid. Particularly,

1) Does capping out all the flags prevent dead players on the enemy team from spawning until a flag is capped?

I can't be 100% sure, but I thought I was RU and able to spawn on Wake Island B2K, even though the US team had capped out all our flags. Normal preset.

2) How do you know how many survivors there are, since dead/alive status is not shown on the in-game scoreboard?

3) Does the round end instantly once the last survivor is killed?

I can confirm #1 and #3 - I was unable to spawn when all the flags were captured and once the last person was killed the round ended. The round where I couldn't spawn according to the chatter there was one guy running like crazy. He got nailed trying to cap a flag.
