Removing the SL spawn; Poll

AnRK · Post by **AnRK** » 2007-08-01 16:35

Just wanted to know what the numbers were like on the for and against sides of this matter.

Be good boys and girls and keep the discussion in the proper thread. If there's a way the admins can lock this thread while keeping the poll open that would be awesome.

Yes - SL spawn does not encourage teamplay

Post by **Deadfast** » 2007-08-01 16:53

Yes, but we need some equivalent for insurgents.

Either remove it or have some sort of compromise.

No. - SL spawn encourages more team play.

yes - removing it encourages use of RP's and makes them more important.

Post by **fuzzhead** » 2007-08-01 17:24

Yes - SL spawn discourages use of RPs and commander assets and encourages zerging and gaymy tactics.

Yes - rather travel to SLs arse then pop out of it

I belive the system should be altered a little. Add some spawn restrictions.
perhaps a time limit on how long you were alive before dieing and respawning on the sl. It might help with the respawn bumrush tactic that I think were trying to get away from. If its gonna be removed could we get fstrp or mdvc? j/k

yes. i always try to spawn on my SL before a assualt on a flag

Yes,
especially if it could be combined with the ability of SLs to set rally points in APCs, so they could act as squad spawns (APCs team spawn is being removed for .7)

'[R-DEV wrote:IronTaxi']actually its not a terrible idea and would be quite alot of fun to have sqauds tied to there squad vehicle....if the squad vehicle is alive then they can spawn IMO..more like a mobile command center...

in that case though SL spawning would actually be completely out IMO...just have the APC as the primary mobile unit in the game...

APCs would be very high priority targets..

Yes, but I'd change the number of players to set a RP form 3 to 2.

Oh great. Now we have TWO threads on the same heated topic.

It seems to me that the only people who want to leave the SL spawn are those who want to spawn in and kill as quickly as possible. That has nothing to do with strategy.

"OMG I died! I have to wait a whole 30 seconds! F***! SQUAD LEADER DON'T DIE.... DONT DIE!!111 Whew! I spawned in. Pew pew pew pew! pwnt! hahaha noobs!"

Sound familiar?

NO: Insufficient transportation / map size increase will scatter the squads too much.

Yes: Forces the squad members to stick together and survive, rather then the "I'll just go take a leak while I respawn on my SL" symptom.

So it depends on what the changes the Devs put along with it.

But personally in the long term I'd prefer we find a way for it to go away.

Yes - agree with Outlawz...

Now that I've put a little more though into it and read some of the reasoning, I think I'd put my vote in for removing the spawning on the SL feature.

Should the Squad Leader spawn be removed?
