It's not clear to me. Elaborate.

I second this vote for an elaboration.

Person spawns in and before he even gets control of his character he is dead. And do you honestly think CCP sat at the design table saying, "Ok, not let's make this so the enemy team can wait over here and kill the other team the moment they spawn!" No, they intended for the players to hack/destroy the spawn unit but instead they exploit it.

Again, not saying it isn't a smart tactic. It absolutely is because it is there and a viable way of winning. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to do something so stuff like this doesn't happen in the future.

Technically, it is an exploit, but not of the game itself. It's an exploit of the dumb opponents that spawn in knowing there are people waiting to obliterate them. It's not like there is no counter for it. All you have to do is not spawn there...

Sobriety Denied Universal Allies Inc. 485	Posted - 2013.03.15 06:57:00 - [1] - Quote if someone spawns into a CRU most of the time they're looking for a straight up fight also, the other noobs are just stupid or stubborn, and perhaps expecting their enemy to play by some unwritten rule. what i dont get is these morally bound players who are against camping a CRU are all for redlining- i mean WTF is difference? you're camping their spawn point either way. I have argued endlessly with some ppl on the mice over this: I'm like bro WTF?!?! this is a god dam first person shooter not Digital Track and Field. why do you insist on capping a CRU for? is that your of "being nice" to the enemy? is it really being nice to the enemy to take all their spawn points away and force them to their redline? How is that any better than camping ther CRU. The replies i always get is, Oh i dont camp spawns like that... I'm just not like.. Well you redline ppl tho.. and camp them there.. and make us all run more than actually shoot. god dam morons i tell you. fukn carebears.

All you have to do is not spawn there... actually from my experience i have never instantly died, this guy is exageratting, his connection is crap, or he takes to long too move after spawning. you hold down sprint while waiting to spawn in and immediately start bunny hopping most of the time you can kill the campers unless it's a heavy.. these whiners are going to ask for some crutch like a 5 second spawn immunity, they cried in all the battlefields for this same crutch, luckily they were denied it in that game every time they whined for it EA actually had a sack that time.
