Spawncamping

I just had the most miserable two rounds on the USMC iGi server. A dedicated squad of spawn campers both rounds. before you say "spawn somewhere else" there was no where else to spawn. I was trying to get a armor squad going, but everytime I went to get a crewman kit, I would get picked off (they didn't have all the flags leading up to it on either round. There has to be some way to make spawn camping unappealing. The Devs did a great thing with spawn camping for Basrah, but it doesn't work for Greasy. All the APCs are instantly destroyed by Air Power, and you can't get an officer kit to lay down a rally point. It just really pissed me off how such a great game can be ruined by a group of ********. Sorry for the rant, but I'd like to know if in .6 when the new spawn mechanism is near completion, is there anything that can combat this?

Lol i just logged of the server just now and it sucked sorry for the language but i don't even bother to play when its like that.

I have started only to play after 18-20.00 houriss seems like all the tards go to bed around there ;)

Agreed chubben, i found that there are more mature players are around later in the evening. Age does not necessarily mean maturity but usually it does and it does mean more probablility of a military backround and that way better gameplay.

It depends much on the SL if the sqad is working together or not.. To me it seems like the Sqad leader has to be a good example for other players in his sqad.. But yeh in the evening the big boys are getting home have thier dinner maybe relax a bit and then come on PR and own some noobs :P

seems like a good strategy keeping you guys from getting armor.

I camp APCs all the time. I'll sit there camping it and spotting it until someone comes along to destroy it, however long that takes.

This wasn't an APC though, this was our main base, any assets we could have wanted, even a humvee, were camped. It was a dedicated squad of spawn campers, thats what kills me.

I've been on both ends of that situation on Greasy Mullet. On the camper side, I'm not going to risk them getting assets to re-take points we've already successfully captured. On the campee-side, it sucks when you die right away but at that point, the map is awash anyway. Just get it over with so you can switch maps.

We're doing what we can to overhaul the spawning system, but a lot of factors that contribute to spawn camping are map design issues. Over time some of those we can address .. but doing so is quite time consuming and some maps may be unrecoverable.
