Some of us realized tonight that the spawns were not protected against spamming and spawn killing. This is a global question, is the game intended to be like this ?
I remember the automated turrets in ET:QW, maybe not the best solution here. Maybe map design around the spawn zones could fix that. Or longer spawn protection ?
In my blockout I have this issue in Offense side and i was thinking having an undestructive turret for spam protection .On the Def side, Off cant reach the Def spawn
You remain invincible for a few seconds after you respawn, that wears off if you start shooting.
Also, if a spawn point is exposed to enemies it will pick another one.
I don’t know about turrets on spawn, but I don’t think it’s necessary since there are spawn waves which means all your dead teammates will spawn at once so you should be able to get rid of the nasty campers easily (in theory ^^).

Theory != Reality … sadly
spawn camping wins games - kyndig
a visual indicator of invulnerability like in et might be a good thing. it’ll help the spawn campers time their nades! ;p but also help the people getting spawn camped to get one up on people in some situations. there were turrets in brink iirc… they weren’t too bad. tho i only ever played that on pubs. spawn camping will happen with turrets or not, just at diff chokepoints. i guess my concern would be new players feeling helpless to even get out of spawn… but a solution for that, i do not have…
