Spawn Camping

so since i do, im just a lazy good-for-nothing. 😄

That's okay, I'm too lazy to even type that out.

camping is the best way to offend a person/guild in WoW.
i advise against it, though i am not inoccent i camped some rouge once for sneakin up on my while i was enchanting.
only camped him twice, so it doesn't count, does it?

Quake 3 spawn camping in 1 vs 1......PISSES THE HELL OUT OF ME OFF

camping is ill, i love that shit. its the only way i get kills in cs, i do rush when i have to but campings way more fun. wait for buddy to walk around the corner and pop him in the head, it doesnt get any better than that.

by the way does anybody have an old cs account taht they dont use? cuz everyones that i used to use changed their passwords on me.

thats not spawn camping. spawn camping is if there is a fixed spawn point, and you go there and aim your weapon directly at it, and proceed to kill them as soon as they appear(repeat over and over for the entire match until you have like 3000 kills.)

if they have a chance to move, then its fair imho. though some 'geniuses' think they can take advantage of the situation by spawn camping, yet they would allow the enemy to move like one step and then fire. another genius
decides to run into the spawn and run around in a circle. he claimed he was simply spawn sweeping, but it was obvious that he was popping them off one by one the second they spawned. both gamers cried till no end when i called it just what it was.

the reason i HATE spawn camping is that it destroys the legitimacy of victory.
ill get done with a match of complete and total ownage, yet when we get back to the lobby, i hear "SPAWN CAMPING ********!!!" etc. so there goes my glory 🙁 so i would get the camper's name and 9 times out of 10 it would turn out from the game review that even though they camped, they still sucked ass.
thats the irony of spawn camping: most of the gamers who feel the need to do it still cant rack up many points.

It's a legitimate tactic! 😂 Someone tried telling me that before.

its also a legit military tactic to sit and snipe. really its irrelevant.
dont get me wrong, i know people will cry about it and some even call it cheating,
but anyone above the mentallity of a 10 year old (if i'm losing, you're cheating) can see that camping is fair.
i find it to be lame and boring when all the enemies are camped throughout the map, but thats just my thing.

but yeah, the topic is spawn camping.

I camp, but I don't spawn camp.

hehehe "first spawn camper ever"

depends on a map, for example, take cs_italy on counterstrike, camping at the spawn for terroists is a good strategical move as it allows you to watch over the hostages and also provides you with good spots for taking out enemies. While spawn camping as the counter terroist on the map means your not gonna achieve anything because your not saving the hossies and just wasting time, unless you happen to run across a terroist.

I say its a valid tactic.. and vote "fair"

I think people who complain about spawn camping just cant handle getting pwned, and cant dish out the pwnage either.

zOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 😐

i think people who spawn camp cant handle any reasonable challenge, and thus have to exploit the game's system of respawning in order to not allow their opponents to even move.

well spawn camping does ruin the fun in the game, and the chances of having "funny moments" within the game. when people don't spawn camp, there are lots of funny moments that are possible. besides, why waste a good ammount of time sitting in one place pushing the same button over and over? where's the point and fun of the game? the people who are bein spawn camped...why do you try to continue play? it's a waste of time in your life, just ****ing leave and play a fun ame

People who spawn camp have no real skill.

Agreed.

They solely rely on the fact that it takes at least a few seconds for their victims to know where they've spawned (and what the situation is) and that split second it takes for them to see where the no skilled gunfire is coming from. -.-

EDIT: But there are many ways to prevent this, like giving the newly respawned player a second or half a second of invulnerability.

Some games now have mods where camping for too long actually makes you lose health, which kind of combats the problem in a small way.

hmm..i stll prefer my incredible lightspeed dodge..or more likely the lack of accuracy of the spawn camper 😂
