The EASY way to get rid of spawn killing, dice wake UP:

[Dearmad]

Version 1:

You get 15 seconds when you spawn to do anything except use your weaponry. You cannot be injured in any way. That means RUN LIKE HELL SOMEWHERE SAFE. You cannot be shot or injured in ANY WAYm bullets just pass through you.

Allowing the spawn moment some time to use the HUMAN intelligence of the player to, in essence, spawn somewhere safer, solves the problem.

The invincible spawn time is too easily exploitable.

i agree its very exploitable... if anything it should be 5 seconds if it is implemented. 5 seconds is more then enough time to get away and find cover. The problem with spawning is simply that you spawn.... if you only had one life games would go a lot quicker and would be more deadly... and people would play more realistically. But im sure i'll never see a server option for no respawn.

the key to stopping spawn raping lies in the players getting raped. generally it has somthing to do with how they were playing a few minutes before the raping started. :)

Maybe you shouldn't stand around like morons, but move the second you spawn if you know someone's base camping.

spawn protection, this is what we have in Medal Of Honor.

very useful haha

[Dearmad]

5 -15 seconds of running time without shooting is hardly exploitable. Especially if you cant damage anyone else. How?

now now, common you know thats not how it works... many a time on karkand I will blow up the american radar and uav.. then steal a tank and start blowing people up as they spawn until ive thoroughly wrecked the base and then i move into the town. It is never as simple as " duck or run really fast the second you get in". Unless your dealing with a sniper anyways... then atleast you can get shot once and hope to try and escape to find a medic.

[X-ander]

In fact i would reduce that time to 10 seconds, 15 seconds is a pain in the ass.

But more importante would be to reduce some vehicle resp time.

that would be really easy to exploit, say your in a clan match and your at the last enemy base, you kill all of them, then they all spawn at once thats everyone on their is invincible to run to another base to cap, 15 secs is along time especially since you can sprint for atleast 5 of those 15 secs

I agree on the Invul aspect, but as said no more than 5 seconds. FarCry did this and it worked out for the most part OK. But having the spawning player not being able to fire for 5 seconds is a bad idea. People shouldn't be spawncamping anyway, so any determent to get them to move along is OK with me.

Skleg, its not that simple. I've spawned and been shot almost instantanly. Also it takes a moment for things to register for me. Yeah, I'm getting old, but when I spawn, it takes me a second or two to get my bearings, look for a possible camper, then look around for camping apc/tank/artillery, check local flag...

And as more people play the maps over and over again, they know exactly where the spawns are. Its too easy to sit there and just pluck off spawning players.

5 seconds invul time with full damage output would be prime. But it should belimited to spawn points only. If spawned on the squad leader, there should be no invul.

I have never had a problem with getting repeatedly spawn killed in this game. Umm, perhaps you should pick another spawn point? :?

[dmonkey]

It would be messed up, spec ops would be spawning right next to tanks, and then it would just go back and forth. How would you like seeing a guy charge at you while you are capping in a tank, then throwing C4 on you, without a chance to kill him at all? They could spawn, run right next to you, then the minute they can use their weapon, you're toast.

I agree, too many people want to spawn right next to the "action" and then they get raped.

[Blud]

15 seconds + you are able to one shot the spawn campers with any weapon!!!
Has to be a punishment for the campers or nothing will work to stop them.

[rombaft]

sorry but this wouldn't work in any way, and I think spawn killing in BF2 isn't a big problem, it can happen once and the second time you spawn mostly you have the chance to do something.
