With this community, if you play in a way that is not a 100% copycat of how they play, its spam this, spam that.
At the core or the problem, is the fact that vet players can outfit a medium suit with ungodly amounts of defense and offense, both active and passive.
So suddenly, people who play the game less than 40 hours a week have to come up with a cheap, viable counter. And thats how the "Spam" complaints start.
People counter proto squads with heavies....oh now they are spamming heavies
People counter proto squads with RE, oh, now its RE spam
Send tanks after them? Tank spam
Fly to out of reach places to keep yourselves out of the redline? Now im rooftop link spamming\
Hack some flank CRUs? Im letting my team down by hack spamming.
Or sometimes, i "spam" redline sniper fits by using 1 sniper fit i dont lose in a safe place 150M from the objective.
Whatever you or I (regular people) do, if it works its going to be called spam. The guy who just used 2 full clips on his Six Kin to kill 1 guy is going to call the guy who killed him with 1 remote a "RE spammer".
So, with that said, lets look at what is not spam:
Stacking a million passive bonuses to increase the active modules you are wearing? Not spam
Queuing for ambush match after match for 8 hours? Not spam
Throwing core grenades till the Ishukone hives run out? Not spam
Killing the same new player militia fit 10 times in the same game? Not spam
Using a double swarm commando to unload at a dropship and then change back to assault? Not spam
Assigning 2 logis to one heavy all game? Not spamming logis or repair tool streams
Bombing everyone with a Incubus, and then running to hide/refill ammo every few minutes? Not spam
Making a thread everytime something kills you and ruins your sense of entitlement? Yep, definitely not spam.
So there you have it! If you suicide charge in milita fits all game to give squads free kills, not spam. if you come up with a strategy and successfully execute it, chances are, youre a spammer! |

But instead of the 3 groups of 1 Logi/1Heavy you usually see, now it's squads of 3 Heavies/2 logis. That is spam, because it's never just one squad. But by your logic, because I was slaying so god damn hard last night....Officer Assault Rifle Spam!! 
Ah dont worry I didnt have anybody in mind when I made my post. It was more a picture of how i perceive alot of strait up complaint threads about spam. Its my satirical way of pointing out that often things that have nothing to do with overusage are labeled as such in hopes of limits being drawn up.
As per what you were doing last night...if it worked, then it should be labeled spam and all kinds of limits applied lol. |
