Oh gee I guess Ill just watch the death cam five billion times in row until someone finds out how to get around this dousche. How is that fun?
Either that or some of us just enjoy greifing. I play to have fun, and watching people explode when being spawncamped just makes it more enjoyable for me. I dont do it for the points, I do it for the reactions I get. That said, I dont spawncamp often, only when I feel like being an asshat. Which is once every few weeks.guardian001 said:
I hate spawn camping, on both ends. But hell, on a bad day, I can't deny there's some kind of catharsis in watching the helpless wretches futilely try to squirm away.
Didn't I just make a thread about camping?
Yes, yes I did actually.
Anyway, spawn camping is annoying, but oh-so satisfying when you finally kill the idiot whose doing it. Now that is one good feeling in a multiplayer FPS.

I hate it when people do this and I try not to as well. Occasionally there are clowns who deserve it because they're just dicks, or someone modded the settings on the Halo server and I teleported on top of a tree and am just popping guys for a while, but I don't do it often. Usually I only do this in Halo anyway, because there tend to be fairly obvious and limited numbers of spawns.
I don't really consider TF2 a game where you can actually spawn camp. You will always start in your base, and will always have the option then to change characters to one more suiting to killing the guy standing outside. Also, if you are the one camping, it ends up being both good and bad.
Good: because you are cutting off the flow of new enemies that can stand in your way
Bad: because if you are that close to the enemies' base, and you are actually getting away with that much murder, that means your teammates aren't getting the help on the front with capturing points. You are going to fall eventually, and when you do, a whole wave of enemies is going to flood out and rape you and your team.
When I think of spawn camping, I think of when my friends would memorize the spawn pattern in Goldeneye, and run to the next point while the red blood is trickling down my screen form their last kill. There isn't anything you can do then. You will never pick up a better weapon, you will never kill him with your fists, and he will just keep getting points until the game is over.

this. its shameful really.Mrsnugglesworth said:
main thing I hate is spawn camping with vechicles like tanks. I don't do that thats just noob.
what I hate more than spawn camping is spawn immunity especially ingames like in farcry2 where they literally spawn right next to you only you can't damage them until they shoot, so you just have to wait and hope they miss. thats worse than spawn camping imo, at least spawn camping you have SOME chance of killing opponant.
oh and the only time I've ever been spawncamped in tf2 is when a ubered pyro just literally sat in our door way for like 20 minutes. he was bugged or maybe medic was hacking but it was ridiculous, we had to stun with our baseballs just to get outside the spawn.
Thread has been done, spawn camping is crap, most players avoid it but will take advantage of it if it happens right in front of them, and the problem is completely avoidable if you have a short period of invulnerability when you respawn. However, that same few seconds of immortality is utter crap to those players who are playing fair.
Ah, I suppose I just don't see the fun in winning the game unopposed because idiots enjoy seeing the entire enemy team stuck in spawn. The game gets a little boring when one person is the only one seeing the enemy during their half second lives.Oisnafas said:
In BF:2142 I wouldn't camp the other teams base or an enemy flag (I tend to capture flags rather than camp them) and I would usually destroy an enemy spawn beacon rather than camp it. I would only camp the beacon if it was safe to do so and they usually take the hint after you kill them a couple of times, so there isn't much to gain from it. Well apart from that time on Operation Shingle. That was fun.
