Title: If this can be done, would you like to see it....
Post by: 8thJinx on December 22, 2017, 11:45:23 AM

I've been messing around the terrain and object editors.  An uncamp-able spawn is possible.  Well, a mostly uncamp-able spawn is possible.  I can make a spawn circle that you have to fight to get into and fight to get out of, while minimizing the insta-tower whack-a-mole activity.

The "fighting to get out of" part doesn't bode well.  :O

I think you should only be able to see your countrys spawn points.  It would make it 10X harder to camp an enemy spawn if it wasnt pointed out to you with a giant yellow arrow.  Maybe technically it is not possible to do code wise but I think that would be the easiest way to fix it.

That's half the fun, no?

Even if it was coded, there's enough players who know the spawns by heart without needing an arrow. For noobs who don't, there would be maps available to look them up.

If someone seriously has all the spawns to all the bases of all the terrains memorized, they are the biggest kook ever and needs to turn off the game for awhile!
Right now you literally zoom in all the way on your map and drive right to the point of the spawn with no effort what so ever.  Your biggest problem then becomes swinging your turret fast enough to hit them as soon as they spawn.  I have done it and had it done to me :)
