No more spawn camping?
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:32:52 PM »
As of Patch 2 : Added a host variable that controls the randomizer radius of remote vehicle spawns.

Will this mean a decrease in spawn camping and an increase in camped spawn survivability rates?

The random spawn in, which has always been there other than when spawning into a hanger, will be more randomyish.

Or, will it spawn you into a random hanger?   :noid

It's not like if you're camping a spawn they'll suddenly spawn behind you.

What has more effect is that the gvs spawn with runnin engine. No more hangar camps.

With engine running its harder to tell which direction shots are fired, namely because the tankers are already trying to move by time they get hit.

best way to bust a camp is spawn silent, and hopefully campers won't notice you for first 5-10 seconds. Far more difficult if you pop up and they hear your engine start with black smoke belching out

ok i say no more hangar camp then  ;)
But youre right. Maybe this isnt the right place to ask this, but wouldnt it be nice to have an option to spawn with or without running engine?

+1,000  One of the tried and true methods for recon on campers as well as killing them is to up with engine off and sit, watch and listen.  Engine noise will bring fire down on you from campers within seconds.... :uhoh

Tie engine off or on to the auto takeoff in the clipboard.

+ 1 A wonderful idea.  I hope that HTC agrees and is able to.
