Spawn Camping

[(dp) Solnav]

I believe the game is fun to play only if the opponent has an equal chance at shooting/getting the best of you. I observed members of the EGO community spawn camping tonight and it took the fun right out of the game. I was not on the receiving end of the campers, but I can imagine the feeling of the opposing team not being able to even get out of their spawn without being shot. Where is the fair play in that. I'm hoping EGO has a rule about spawn camping and someone will set me straight. However; if there isn't such a rule, WE should have one.

Well I agree with you (( BUT )) on strand there are usually two ways out of a spawn so it's not blocking and the army spawns right in the field of fire with no chance. so on that map I would think that it's all right.

 

[=(eG0)= thompson -TR]

we do have a rule about that i think that it was all for fun and not meant to be harmful

Do a search for spawn camping on our website search. you will be guarnteed to find liek 100 threads as this is discussed like every 3 weeks.

and btw... on the orange server it IS ALLOWED... its the nature of the maps. If you dont liek it then dont play there. The rule is shooting someone as they appear.

being a regular in strand, I get this same complaint everyday in-game, theres nothing really that could be done, you got to understand how it feels being on the American side not being able to get off beach and re-spawning in the field of fire, sniper, mg, and one-shot kar are just relentless at times when real good players occupy the Axis side. I know it sucks to walk out of spawn and get killed, but come on get over it! you will re-spawn in under 13 seconds and get right back into the action. For middle axis spawn if axis are being overrun use alternate route instead of going up ladder and out the door stay underground and exit via lockers, for the other 2 exits well you got no choice there...nades?? I dont mean to offend anyone here, but its the way the strand map was made.


Lets not get into people complaining about sniper class LOL!

Its very hard to draw the line.

I mostly agree with sugafree, You can find alternative routes for most of the spawn exits, except for 2...

- When you spawn in the wall/tunnel that exits at the (axis) side entrance of left bunker. (This can be solved by people guarding that area, or ocasionally visit it on their way to western and/or second 88

- When you spawn in the room that links to both the right bunker and the far right spawn exit. Setting up an mg in that tunnel is deadly (this can also be soved by gaurding/checking)

Allies should be able to win without this cheap stuff, but its still a game and in every game you have weak persons who need these kinds of actions for success

Spawn camping is killing people as they appear. It is not killing people as they run out of spawn.

That is what eGO deems as spawn camping, it is impossible to do this on all but our orange server. The orange server is our exception to the rule.


Oh and with regards to strand, what about the camping of the allies spawn? Would you like us to install an invisible wall so that people on the beach cannot be sniped. You gotta take the rough with the smooth.

 

[FireWorks]

well that definition of spawncamping really does solve a lot of confusion

 

[sugafree]

well said Corp, yea its not fair to run out of spawn and get killed, but yet is it fair to sit in the famous foxhole and big rock to the left of beach and just sit there all day sniping, not attemping to get objectives, its just the rules of strand, each side has its ups and downs

:-D some maps don't even allow you into others spawn

Yup, it's allowed. That's why it's kind of fun.
Like to BLAST them with my Thompson.

... !shy

segment_3 used to be the worst map for spawn camping. I remember being axis you'd just have to get on the roof of the building directly over their spawn and pick 'em off.

If somebody has made it to our spawn, bunkered themselves in a position and kept our heads down long enough for them to cap and win then it's our fault for faulty defensive strategies, etc. IMHO.

It is quite annoying though.

 

[dAs.]

some servers are allowed to spawn camped and some wont let you =/

 

[50centricher]

most servers
it allows you to go into the spawn and get kills
but on the orange maps, you can spawn camp there.

 

[Frosty {A|R}]

does camping the First flag of the enemy count as spawn camping?

 

[CorpPunishment (UK)]

Your definitions of spawn camping is very strange. You must be inside someones spawn, killing them as they appear, hence "as they spawn". It does not count as spawn camping if you shoot someone when they are running out of spawn.
