Spawn Camping Service Announcement

[UnatcoAgent]

tweaked it a bit.

I think that's why CS was (and still is) so popular... it's impossible to spawn camp!

Trives 1 used to have that problem. There were 20 spawn points on a map (10 each side) and 32+ players. You would toss a mine on that exact spot, and ready your chaingun. The player would spawn, get shot with 2 rounds and be dead, and have to wait 15 seconds to spawn again. It was great

T2 fgixed that with spawn spheres.

That requires atleast some skill though.

that is why you don't get it.

omg.. i know that.
That's my way of asking for an explanation. Still waiting for one, thanks

When you spawn into a game, you are helpless for a fraction of a second, much like a baby is helpless in a new world. People take advantage of this and kill you.

It's annoying as hell.

Sounds like fun!
Is there a unwritten rule where you are given a moment to adjust to your surroundings for like a second, or no?

Hah, no. People are ruthless. I have never not been spawn killed when I can see the enemy as I join/rejoin the battle.

Quake 3 used to be pretty good for this when I was playing it back in the day. People had honour, they wouldn't spawn camp nearly as much as they do now.

Those were the good old days.

I like the way UT2003 does it; you're invulnerable for a few seconds after you spawn.

Not when the point is to cap the other teams flag, you had 10 spawn points and 17 players per side. If one player on the team grabs every spawn point on the other side, you instantly win, because evenyone who spawns instantly dies again, but you still have 7 players to get the flag and pick up any straglers.

now that games are more popular esp teamplay ones, you have all these idiots just ruining it. There was a guy with extra pc's on a UT server loading up the opposing team with players that didn't 'play'....he got caught driving the other teams vehicles to himself too.

I don't know what these guys are trying to accomplish, everyone just goes to another server....you have 100's to choose from.

I wish i didn't even click on that.. 'It's a cute baby with a gun pointed at its head'
I'm not a gamer.. maybe that's why i don't get it !

plenty tasteful, aks pwn at close range as opposed to a m-16 which...oh


spawncamping with rockets (say, panzerfaust in et) is great fun

suicide panzer spawn camping is even better. takes perfect timing though.

I totally agree.

If your team sucks so bad that I can sucessfully make my way to your base, hide, and pick you all off I deserve the right to spawn camp.
