Spawn Camping
« on: January 06, 2005, 04:43:33 PM »
I's love to see a randomization of spawn points to reduce the impact of spawn camping.

Not quite sure how or if it's possible, but the system as it stands nw is completely hosed. One tank ranking up 30 kills with no chance od retaliation is just not realistic.

Maybe a 5 mile area where a GV spawns, in any direction, would keep the campers at bay, and give the GV spawners at least a fighting chance.

A simple fix for that would be to spawn oriented to the nearest visible enemy, not just pointing to the spawn arrow. This will give you an opportunity to strikeback, but you will receive the first hit most of the times.

Personally what you need is an antitank gun capability. Lets say 3 dug in positions and AT guns can spawn to any just like shore batteries or manned ack....the other option would be a bazooka team:)....

Other idea, is to get a Ground attacker aircraft to come in and buzz the tank with bombs, rockets and or guns and spawn at the same time.

But a series of dug in 88's in the anti tank role would be very nice, pick off the spawn camper as he is coming in....

Actually, it is not only possible, it has been done. When I started playing, gv's spawned in the same spot...exactly...everytime. HT added code to make the gv's spawn in an area instead of the same spot.

As for the realism part, getting a couple of hundred kills and dying a few times isn't 'realistic' either....:).

What is needed is the option to spawn a suicide infantryman with either a satchel charge or a bazooka/PanzerFaust/schreck, and mebbe the ability to sprint for a limited distance.  About ten of those popping up at once and spreading out would make things interesting for a camping Tiger or even King Tiger.

[p.s. with ability to ride as cargo/crew in a friendly M3, or even on the back of a friendly tank!]

[p.p.s. use the Russian RS-82mm rocket off the IL2 as a bazooka/panzerfaust stand-in until better modelling is available?  It's already here, after all, and seems about the size of those other AT rockets]

Nah, you have the same opportunity to retaliate against a spawn camper as you do with a vulcher. You can keep upping and complain about the nasty ole spawn camper or come from another field and kill his weak butt. :)

Kill the spawn campers

Actually, we like to rush the spawn and kill the campers.  We don't cry about being killed in the process.  

We also enjoy a good spawn camp and vulch.

Anyone who complains about spawn camping obviously has not sat at a spawn with a couple squadies/buddies drinking beer and laughing as you kill the same dweeb over and over. It is a blast!!!

I usually up a couple times to kill a spawn camper, if I cant I go grab lancs and 2000lbers and make sure he doesnt land my deaths. :)

well keep in mind that the guy who invented this game was a known spawn camper according to people who knew him as a player.
