Title: Spawn Camping is a Right
Post by: MetaTron on January 20, 2004, 11:25:07 AM
When GVs attack your field and you come up in a panzer or Tiger to fight them off, you fight all the way back to the SP (and of course you are using the techniques of Sun Tzu by using the terrain against your opponent), then of course you have the perfect Right to camp out. After all, you're defending your field from the enemy!

So, the next time someone curses your spawn camping, or tries to get even by lawn-darting next to your Tiger, then just smile and kill a few more! :D

It seems that some people confuse defending a base with gvs and actual spawn camping.  If you're defending your base and end up with 20+ kills, I respect that.  If you drive halfway across the map just to pick people off as the taxi down the runway, I don't respect that.  It seems to me that spawn camping is a bit point whorish.

What about the spawn camping that goes on in tank town?  I don't necessarily disagree w/ you Metatron, but I think TT spawn camping is among the ultimate in dweebery.

No, it's just choice in action. Rather than accept that living might be preferred by some, they choose to point out how 'boring' flying smart is. Boring to these dolts translates as the ability to maintain the patience requisite to a 'long term kill streak' (exceeding 2 kills must require an auger) Anything beyond 2 kills requires more attention and patience than they can manage.

Restock the ritaline, fellas! :D

MetaTron, you are a spawn camper, just face it. Sure sometimes you are doing your country a duty and defending a base, but 80-90% of the time you are camped there for hours on end just getting kill after kill. And when Trinity is on, I would bet any amount of money that you are in Tiger Town with your tent all set up, the fire pits a blazing, and you and your spawn camping buddies are singing 99 bottles of beer, and telling obscene stories.........AND THIS ONE TIME, AT  SPAWN CAMP........

As a GV "newbie" my big problem with spawn camping is with the spawn process itself...not the spawn camper. Some type of randomization needs to be added. Lets say anywhere in a 3000yd zone or something. Fix the spawn process and you fix the camper...he'll still have the advantage as defender to pick his terrain but he wont have a bore sighted target.

I'd love to spawn camp one day. I tried it yesterday, but a Hurri I strafed me and took out the turret on my Tiger. I got another Tiger but an M8 killed me at 2000yds while I was moving to the ideal terrain as per Sun Tzu.

So then I saw an enemy Tiger pop up, so I got a Stuka with an 1800kg bomb. I spent half an hour getting to 10k and then lined the sucker up for a perfect drop. Except one of my team mates flew under me as the bomb went off and kill shot me. So then I got a P47-D30 with the full load out. All 10 rkts bounced off. I am NOT sh__tting you. So I got some more alt and set the 1000lbers to both drop at the same time. End result was a Tiger sitting in the middle of a double crater. So I came back and rode the 500lber in like Slim Pickens. Dropped too low and the bomb didn't go off.

Strafed him for 20 minutes or so until my ammo was gone.

Landed.

Got another Tiger.

Panzer IV sitting right next to the VH lets off a round and ***** slaps me so hard my ears are still ringing the next day. 3rd Tiger dead.

Spawn camping really isn't my cup of tea.

Spare me the righteous indignation.  Repetition is not slander, though obviously you fail to understand this.

In the future, you might also want to consider taking discussions to private e-mail if you don't want others to interject opinion on an open forum.  In the meantime, you're just going to have to deal with it.

If there is any doubt in anyones mind that he is a spawn camping, cherry picking, strat milking dweeb, just go look at his stats. Look here (http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/105score/105score.pl) He has never been killed in 14 fighter runs, his buff hit % is up where only a stuka run milkrunning dweeb could have it. His 66:1 K/D gv score is a reflection of his camping. He is either the best pilot/GVer/bomber Ive ever seen or he is just what everyone says he is. A SPAWNCAMPIN CHERRYPICKER. In fact, look at ROD367th's post about being a score potato and you will find that MetaTron actually follows ROD's instructions fairly good.

haha, a thread about spawn camping turns into a debate about slander...


btw, Spawn Camping is kinda lame...  but I also think vulchin is too.  Although vulchin to a lesser extent because you can llok outta the tower and see enemy planes orbiting the field, you can't do that with vehicle spawns.
Title: Spawn Camping is a Right
Post by: bigsky on March 19, 2004, 03:09:04 AM
isnt it same thing as vulching? no. if you chose to keep spawning into a supressed zone or up a set of lancasters and drop 29,000lbs of bombs to kill 1 or 2 GVs( which you dont get any points for because when scored as a bomber your bombs must destroy objects not GVs) just who exactly is the bigger idiot?
hhmmm....... think about it. ive been alone in a tiger against 1-5 odds and whipped butt. ive also used an m8 in tanktown as a perkcombine too. GVs move you know, learn how to do it. and n8dog get a clue.
Title: Spawn Camping is a Right
Post by: MetaTron on March 19, 2004, 10:01:41 AM
The entire point of the thread is this: Suppression is a requisite of war, even virtual war. Spawn camping is suppression of the attacking ground vehicles. Since it can be done, and in fact was designed into the game intentionally, then it is the right of a player to do so.

Anyone that thinks to the contrary is not being realistic. In a game where you can see one guy fly formations of B26s at fifty feet to a nearby field, for consecutive sorties over and over until the field has been completely degraded, you should expect this. If, you don't expect it, you need to take up knitting or some other low brain activity.

Spawn camping is gay.  Not because of the camping aspect, but because it involves the use of GVs.  GVs are gay.

Vulching is cool.  Vulching requires the use of fighter planes.

Lottsa things are designed into this game that keep it fun for different folks.
That being said--doesn't mean some of em are a little less than realistic--spawn camping being one--vultching another.
Doubt anyone ever landed 60 kills in a Tiger or 20 kills in any fighter.
If I Spawn Camped I'd deffinateley take up knitting--couple of double stiches while waiting for the next GV to pop up in my sights would help pass time.
HTC does a good job of keeping the intensity level up--hard to do that and not compromise realism.
Thats why it's a game and I like playing it.

Who's the bigger dweeb, the spawn campers or the idiots who keep spawning knowing they are there? Why are spawn campers different from vulchers? It always cracks me up to be at a capped field and have 25 guys floating around for half an hour all waiting to dive on the one guy who keeps trying to beat the cap. What's the diff? The only thing I have against the gv's is they have no chute to kill. I think the guy should hop out of the gv and run away so that you can hunt him down and strafe him.
Title: ...so what's the diff?
Post by: Adogg on March 19, 2004, 12:26:28 PM
OK so what is the difference between a spawn camper and defender? That still isn't clear.

If I up an Osti to defend a base, and the same two morons keep coming back to get shot down by yours truly, in this case 5 times a piece  have I crossed a magical barrier from defending to spawn camping?

To give you an idea how bad these guys were, they finally took out the turret but i still hosed them with the coaxial twice more.

not 50-70 kills but i'm sure they was miffed

I am assuming you are refering to planes, being that you are in an Osti.

if that is the case, you are not a spawn camper...  the planes take off from another field and have time to transit to your position.  They can vary their approach and altitude.  Parking a Tiger or Panzer and killin GVs as they spawn is lame.  They have no alternatives as to how they can approach.

Anyone who's boring and anal retentive enuff to sit around for hours waiting for people to pop up so they can press their little "feel good" button  ......will be well capable of drawing themselves a little map of where all the spawn points are.

better they're left in so the rest of us know what's going on if we ever need them.

Ignorant statement. Almost every camp I've been involved with required fighting to get there first. Almost. There's nothing like landing 70 or more, though.
