player spawn protection
« on: April 16, 2008, 02:15:39 PM »
i think there should be like a 3 sec. protection to where u can shot them and they cant shot u...so when u have thoghts campers who sit at your base and kill u as u spawn....

If the other team can get someone to sit in your base and kill all your players as they spawn, it means two things:

1. The map is not incredibly designed.
2. The other team deserves to win that round.

So yes, it's annoying, but it's part of the game. Giving newly-spawned players invincibility would be make it very tough to defend the other team's base when you're trying to keep them from capping.

OR you stay away from speed servers unless you are in for a bit of fun.

...2 or 3 seconds of invincibility. So you can kill an enemy that should, under most any circumstance, kill you. Sounds entirely reasonable.

Oh, that's a bit more reasonable. Still, it's a huge advantage to the one spawning, as he'll know exactly where his enemy is (assuming obsblackout is off (which it always is (because recon takes skill))).

Anyway, I still fail to see what the issue is with the current system. Do explain?

I see where you're trying to go with this, but I think it would annoy some players not to be able to shoot for 2 seconds after they spawn.  Perhaps a 2 second max invulnerability or invulnerability until the player attempts to perform some action (like shoot), whichever comes first?

It's a reasonable request.  I've seen people do cheap and annoying things like sit in the spawn rooms of castle1 with no other purpose than to kill respawners.  Not on the speed servers, either.
