Spawn Camping Rant >=[

[Slinger O Guns]

I'm so tired of spawn camping, I HATE it so much. It seems like every server I go on that's not eGO for some reason has this problem...it's not me, I spy my way behind them get a few kills while the rest of the team tries to fight from the spawn! No ubers! No nothing! I the team I get put on is always some stupid team of bumbling idiots!!! :cursing: But I'm sticking with the eGO servers from now on...because that never happens...NEVER!!! Thank god for eGO servers

Wooo...I feel much better...

This happens to me every single time I play Blackmesa. This is one of few reasons that make me dislike the map.

Go out through one of the vents instead of the main door, I usually do this and I never get killed right out of spawn...Or better yet, make someone go out in front of you xD

Spawn camping is a perfectly legit tactic. (however I agree its very frustrating) If you communicate with your team and use different paths to stop the spawn camping you can break out of it very easily. It is the teams fault for allowing it to happen though.

spawn suppression > fresh baked donuts wrapped in bacon dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles then lightly dusted with powdered sugar

wait, what?

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

Hence why I only play eGO servers and Camping is easily delt with.

 

[JiveMoose]

Iirc, last word on this was that Spawn Camping is a "good use of strategy"(If I am wrong, I'd really love to know. I was actually pondering this the other day - And as far as I can remember it was posed to Leadership and they said it was GG.) And so, many people of Blackmesa use this to their extent.

But It's a game play mechanic and if leadership has no problem with it...Game on!

the game is called TEAMfortress 2
and if you would push out of your spawn as a team with 2-3 meds
nobody can keep the pressure

just let 1-2 meatshields run out at first and then rush out

 

[Cl!FF]

I usually use spawncamping to prevent reinforcements to block the plate, that way you can easily take a control point in dustbowl, spawncamping rules, especially if you have a crit-sticky at the door ^^

 

[Cheez]

Well, I do experience spawn camping in 2FORT and Turbine in our servers. It does happen. Regardless, I love our servers... no drama.

wait, what?

NOTHING is better than fresh baked donuts wrapped in bacon dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles then lightly dusted with powdered sugar... NOTHING

and spawn camping always makes me angry on BM, but not bevause it kills me as much as it does... because everytime i seem to puch them back i get a crit sticky or rocket or a heavy-medic far away that has spun up their gun already...

and it's over for me.... and i hate it >.<

but i do love using such simple strategies.

 

[Passerby]

it is a pretty valid tactic and the definition of spawn camping is killing people as they spawn which cant be done in tf games because you spawn in a protected room oh and there are multiple exits on most maps and solly/fatty medic combo problem solved.

 

[Believer]

IMO - it is a perfectly acceptable tactic. There are like 2 or 3 ways out of spawn on BlackMesa. IF you build up an uber, no one can keep you in. But if you can't, then you deserve to be slaughtered.

Lol, Well there are multiple exits on harvest...but their right by each other...I was just a tad upset with my team because I went medic and everyone else was a scout o engi, I think we had one solider. But this always happenes when I'm not on the eGO servers, I get stuck with some terrible or asinine players. So all you eGO's out there. Thank you, you make the game fun

There's a difference between spawn control and spawn camping.

There's a difference between spawn control and spawn camping.

Lol some would still try to argue that they are controlling the spawn by not allowing anyone out of it. I have noticed its just certain maps not servers. I mean some are just doing it to be idiots and stupid. (Sentry farm outside the door). I admit i may have done it in the heat of the game as a scoot just running passed the door meat shoting the same person multiple times and finding a health pack. But yea there are people out there that can't play so they just go engie and place it in front of a spawn.

 

[TehLemur]

Woah woah woah guys.......we spawn? What is this I don't even...

 

[FeatherFrog]

#1 reason why i love BM.

I dont ever die from spawn campers. Because there is 3 exits out of spawn.

Take the other 2 exits out from above spawn if you're scared of spawn campers.

Even when there isnt a whole team outside our doors, i will still take the vent exits. Why? just in case there's a solo demo who mined the doors. Happens too often.

 

[Prisoner416]

I've spawn-camped. It's a perfectly legal tactic.

If you're too foolish to allow my Demoman to sticky your 2fort spawn doors, and you can't break out of it, you're doing it wrong.

 

[Deadly Bunny]

I spawncamp if I get the chance. Free kills, helps us win, gg
