Container city spawn camping!!!!

(DazTroyer) #1

Now get off ya high horse, sit the duck down and listen…

I’ve just this minute finished a match on this map, first at the Resistance (until i got bored) then swapped over to the Security who ended up a man down, i’m good like that. :cool:As a point worth mentioning, i have NEVER not been able to get out of the spawn and blow the door, even if i haven’t always won the map. Until tonight.

In the first 10’ish minutes the other team never once got close to setting the charge, nevermind blowing the door, what gives ffs??? The plan is simple, bum rush the gate and plant the bomb, set up shop and cover it. For 35 friggin seconds, it ain’t that hard. As soon as my team had them pinned they were doomed, ran in one by one like headless chickens with targets painted on their backs.

Now when i swapped, i maybe got lucky the first time as, my old team were no doubt confused by my betrayal :tongue: However i set the charge no fewer than 4 times, never once getting the cover i needed, even got down to 10 seconds. So listen peeps, shape up or ship out… :slight_smile:

ps, if you do happen to be one of those cheap noobs who insist on spawn raping remember this it may be a win but…
IT AIN’T BIG AND IT AIN’T CLEVER

To be fair, if the defenders get a good foothold it is extremely tough to break the lockdown there, I joined one earlier and the defenders were literally headshotting me as I approached one of the openings, grenades landing in the spawn and all sorts. If we were a bit more organised we probs could of got out.

Spawncamping is uncool, but Container City was almost built for it. I can’t really blame anyone for doing it on that base.

Security spawn on this map is just a big joke !!
only 2 ways easy to block by the resistance and the map is done …

remember who do this map ? …

Security just should run straight to the gate and plant their dynamite and you wont have anymore this kind of problem. Easy in theory but on publics it looks like the soldiers and teammates having problems with that either due the lack of soldiers or in good medics which are close to the soldiers to buff and revive them.

CC is easy to get Spawn Trapped. It is like Trenches was in the Gears 3 Beta. CC needs another exit via a secret way or something.

(BomBaKlaK) #6

I really think 1 other exit is the best way !

you have 3 ways.

but tbh yes the spawncamp is ugly on this one.

i had my fun with my granade sling for a few times killing 5 ppl with one granade but now it’s just plain boring.

when i play security on the map with my mates we have a light soldier and we just rush and back him up works most of the times.

where is the 3 way?

spawnraping/camping is extremly boring on this map (its not the only 1:( ).

it needs an alternative way, so u can pull apart the enemies. the enemy has high ground, and the 2 stairs are so near, once trapped there, map is almost over.

imo bad design, but can be fixed :stuck_out_tongue:

From my experience, I’ve only been spawn camped twice. Once joining late in the game, once since the start. The starting game only went down hill because nobody covered me (the soldier) despite me flashing the enemy through the door, thus after preventing the early plant, prevented the team from progressing at all.

The other game, I joined late, experienced lag, and still found out despite all the lag I could get out of spawn by rushing out of there and flanking right… but still I got mowed down… it was a blood bath… (frickin’ mines).

My friend and I worked up a strategy that GREATLY helps out when getting spawn camped… MOVE UP THE DAMN BOT. All to often everyone tries to just push up and kill kill kill, in mid open, with no cover or any decoys or anything… that obviously doesn’t work. So the best strategy is to get the bot up, so you can use it for cover, have a medic sit back behind it, resurrecting any downed engineers, and the engi’s work on the bot when it goes down, while soldiers and operatives make like trees and get outta there.

Ever since I’ve learned this I’ve never been spawn camped on Container City, I crap you not… and I play the map as resistance at least twice a day. :slight_smile:

yeah. on the right you can climb up.

then the huge gate (the objective)

and left the small choke but i think you need to hack the door but not sure. but it has 2 stages maybe you can walljump/jump somewhere to get up there ? i don’t play light so not sure.

OR do you mean the ways on the security spawn? when you mean the spawn ways yes only 2.

(Jess Alon) #11

Also if you use the second exit and dash out you can jump that wall if you rush hard. I’ve never been able to keep real players in that spawn. Just the bots.

(Scip) #12

sry but i have no mercy for any team that gets stuck there. probably a team full of lone wolves. they wouldnt ve won this round anyway…

(wolfnemesis75) #13

I have been Spawn Trapped on this map a few times…when not paying attention close enough. Now when I play, I am a soldier regardless of what the rest of my team is and rush to the gate and plant that ****. And then crouch down in the alcove near the door and just shoot engineers. But yeah, the map is still tough if caught unaware and trap friendly.

It’s more of a 2 way if the enemies are camping just outside of spawn. Because if the enemies are beyond the gate, you have to run past them to get to the Operative door on the far left.

So yes, it’s only a 3 way if the enemies are behind the door… this topic just got kinky…

Current setup for container city favors the resistance big time. Security basically have to rush resistance bypassing the gate while one guy stays with the slow bot.

Today I sat at the gate crouched with a turret up 2 mines rotating and gunning man after man down with the Gotlung. It was nasty.

Do people not realise as the security your attacking a resistence stronghold, the same applys to the resistence when there playing on security tower, if the security are quick you can hold em off for ages.

oh ye and for the flank you can open as an operative on container city, is it just me or does that give the other team more options to spawn camp lol, agaisnt an un organised team of course.
