Spawn Camping


(sarcasticMountain) #1

Hello,

Spawn camping is a huge issue in…well it isn’t really. Nearly all games have spawn protection which stops the opposing team from entering or shooting into the spawn of the other team. However, with Dirty Bomb, it is almost encouraged. Why is this an issue? Let me put it into perspective for you.

Playing on Chapel as the attacking team. The teams were horribly stacked and we were pushed back to spawn. A nice Vassili decided to camp the rest of the game in the side passage overlooking our spawn. So whenever you spawned and tried to leave the spawn, you were either instantly sniped or you went the other way out of spawn and had everyone else waiting for you. The vassili was well setup. He had his own personal medic and an ammo station. He didn’t have to move anywhere and was nearly impossible to kill. Players quickly caught on and started to use this passage as an easy way into the spawn where they then sat for the rest of the game shooting us the moment we spawned in. Not only were players pissed off but at the end of the game, the entire attacking team left. Not a great way to keep players around…

Why is it that Dirty Bomb has no spawn protection at all?
