Spawn shields are easily exploited by the person spawning in. Especially when combined with lag switches and other cheating. And even if they build in a "shield for X seconds OR until you open fire" function, that would just make it SLIGHTLY less easy without a lag-switch, and MUCH more of a problem when someone IS lag-switching.
I'd rather see a better system for spawning players into Ambush. Preferentially targeting your teammates and preferentially targeting away from enemies, with avoiding enemies taking precedence, would be nice. but just the "no spawning within X of enemies" would be good. |

Drop Uplinks are good until the enemy finds them (place it better), then make the random spawns MUCH less likely to get you killed (because everyone's camping the uplink) when the enemy spots them.
If you set an Uplink in a good position, it can allow your team to gather in one area quickly without much risk. I don't use Uplinks that don't have at least one nearby teammate to prevent me getting spawn-killed. |

This reminds me of mining barges. But.. but, if i use a droplink i wont be able to fit this weapon upgrade!As an avid user of droplinks i promise you it would have helped your situation. NOT carrying them will NOT help you in any situation. HTFU and encourage teamwork, tbfh
Actually, he's saying that, when he spawned in, AFTER JOINING LATE, he was already spawning into enemies, so having his own uplinks wouldn't have made a difference in that particular situation.
Which means the OTHER players on his team were the idiots, and his point stands. Although the Drop Uplink argument is still an important point against it. |
