Spawncamping and 2142!!!

[BigPig_PW69]

A quick question for those that are gonna definately buy 2142 (irrespective of the patch problems and hassles of BF2).

Would you like to see some implementation for reduction of spawn camping?
I for one am very weary of the race to spawncamp by certain lame BF2 (point whoring) players, and would really like some sort of structure that makes spawncamping impossible or very difficult to do.

What do people think?

I rarely have a problem with spawn camping in BF2.

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

One of the implementations I'm looking forward to is the fact that a SL will be able to put a spawn point down ANYWHERE and not be the actual spot. This in itself should lessen spawncamping some... I say lessen because if an enemy knows where the SL has dropped the marker then they could simply put up a gun position right next to it and still catch a few people before they figured out the spawn point was comprimized.....

I don't like it very much. But it part of the game i guess. spawn in a new point and go after them. If there is no where else to go then its pretty much over anyways.

which will increase the potential for spawn camping :laugh: :laugh:

Halo 2 had the best anti spawn camping they should use a similar style that just randomly spawns you around the point instead of using pre defined static spawns

That sounds like a really good suggestion Doctor-Pwnage.

I'd back a proposal like that - lets see what Dice thinks!!

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

ya its a good system it would make the game a bit harder aswell seeing as you would never know where the enemy is gonna come from when your taking a flag that be a good bit of suspense I think :laugh:

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

Yeah, Battlefield needs a revamp on this, because it's always my luck to get spawned with some kind of armor or soldier at my back and no cover around me. Total BS

Yeah that's probably the best way to counter it. In all honesty though, most of the time I've been spawn camped was when our team lost all the flags.

Nothing is more funny then people who complain about spawn camping. If you get killed by a spawn camper spawn somewhere else or look for them and kill them.

I'm merely highlighting a major gameplay flaw that certain people take advantage of, I'm not smarting over being killed by some lame-*** tanker at the hotel in Karkand because I do exactly what you mentioned and put an ERYX where the sun doesn't shine!!

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

I don't think it'll go away, do you have control over the spawn point or don't you? In the E3 alpha build shown for Titan mode the main spawn points were the Titan itself and the missle silos.

The Titan should be your sanctuary given it’s shielded and all (unless it’s been breached) but the Silos change hands very quickly and can be fast capped while in a flying vehicle, to counter this a squad leader can put down a spawn beacon and as shown in one preview video when you select it as your spawn point you drop down from above in a pod, so while you’re dead meat if something is waiting for you on the ground maybe you’ll be able to crash down on your would be spawn camper and either kill him out right or severely damage him.

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

Yeah, there simply needs to be more random spawn points in every area. I'd like to see an option to pick your spawn point at any point within specific vicinity of your base.

Re: Spawncamping and 2142!!!

One of the many great things about BF1942 was the fact that you can do server side mods. One such mods was the "no fly zone" modification you could do.

This would put a ring around a uncapable base, that if the enemy went into they would start to lose health, much like going out of bounds for to long.


Alas....with ranked servers and having no access to server files, no such modding can be done.


Yet another reason why ranked servers are annoying.
