Spawn Campers Beware

Know that I will hunt you down without mercy. Some players are exploiting clipping and turrets to spawn camp. This is NOT acceptable game play, because it is NOT fair. It is poor sportsmanship.


Kree shol'va!

Wait people are spawn camping... this seems completely unnecessary. I'm sure that's the only way they can get kills though.

Just use an Ashrak if you're SL and get out of the spawn point or kill turrets w/e
if you're SGC plant a turret and go back to the spawn point

lol I have to admit that I have been a victim of this but I also have to admit that I have done it myself. its nothing that I plan to do it only tends to happen when your team gets pushed all the way back to the spawn point. its not as bad as spawn kills like in other games. when you have protected spawn location it gaves you a chance instead of hopelessnessses.

its easy if theres only turret near, pick a goauld, let him out and he will aggro the turrets, then get the jaffa out and they will destroy the turret, a little bit harder if theres soldiers and poison gaz around but still doable if you act fast and with coordination

Goa'uld tend to do this since their beam can continue to hit (or so it seems to me) for a second or two after the spawn door closes.

i.e. soldier opens spawn door, sees Goa'uld standing there and back up to close door. As he does so the Goa'uld attacks with his beam. The soldier continues to move back and the door closes but the beam is still affecting him.

AH, started by a half-breeder and then replied to by a half breeder, niiiiiice lol

yeah ive seen that thing,where the goauld just goes behind a wall and even though i backup i still get affected by it, like the obstacle between me and the goauld makes the range infinite or something

i don't mind it at all. as a jaffa, i love stepping through gate to find a couple sg teams ready to give their lives to defend the facility. thats how it is in stargate. it's a lot more true to the show than having a long distance firefight in some non-existant fuel storage room...

I don't like spawn camping. It's infair. I send a yell out when I find it on a map and then be more carefull.

yeah i was in a bad mood today and decided to play on white out. i went right into a match where i was completely trapped in the spawn room. i was so ####ed off, so i left the battle and played as a scientist on earth. i then set up turrets next to the stargate and totally camped like a total hypocritt haha

Yeah whats wrong with people, all spawn camping and ****! wtf stupid n00bz

try to piture the SGC under attack by the goa'ld. if you where a SF why would you not wait at the gate and shot the attackers? thats how it would work in the show; and remember this only happens when the other side is geting failing big time

i agree with this part and only this. if you push the system lords far enoguh back to the gate it feels so much more epic defending the gate. and it dosnt last to long anywyas once u kill the sgc guys it takes them a good long while to get back.

Kree shol'va!

We will handle these guys Amon... ;D

Camping the gate in SGC seems pretty fair tbh as that would happen. I did encounter this on whiteout where, playing as an ashrack, a scientist setup a turret right outside the spawn. Whenever the door opened would spray poison, which would drop my cloak and i then preceded to be pulverised by the turret.
I died about 4 times before i finally stopped being stubborn and switched classes.

same exact thing happened to me. there were 4 turrets and scientists and a few soldiers. we might have been able to take them down with teamwork, but i wasnt in the mood. plus, everyone else was just running out like lambs to slaughter. i, for one, like to maintain a decent k:d ratio

If you're an ashrack and they poison the door as soon as it opens then you get shredded. hence you either need to go jaffa, blast it while someone opens the door or goa'uld and push it out of the way.

then die... and respawn with it in the pre push location. the cycle continues

See alot of spawn camping on the temple map. On both sides.

Happens when theres few players and you go looking for em.

If its the result of just pure domination then that is lack of autobalance at play. If the sides are even and 1 gets dominated fair enough.

Tbh though if the SGC have 3 or so scientists guarding an area then we're pretty much screwed in any situation.

Ok, but my point was that an ashrack is not the ultimate answer to spawn camping.

Keyphrase here is "I finally stopped being stubborn and switched classes". The game is not only about learning how to play class and master it; you must also be able to know if you are required to switch classes, and play them.

I once was on SGC and single-handedly spawn camped 2 goa'ulds at the gate (as a scientist). This went on for 9 kills until one of them spawned as an ash'rak, went by unoticed as I was fighting his teammate and backstabbed me.

Yes, spawn camping is cheap, but some of us want to keep the game moving forward, and it is thus the strategical thing to do to have your front as forward as possible. It is efficient, not cheap, as there are ways to counter it. It is often harder to break a spawn camp than build it. As you said, stop being stubborn and deal with things the way they were meant to be dealt with.

poison clouds do not last forever, and you could've waited for someone to open the door and stay behind cloaked until the cloud vanished or well, you could've changed to goauld and send the turret away from the door, but still ashrak and scientists are the best anti-spawn camping player, yet as you say not the ultimate answer to it, and... did you spawned on the same spawn point 4 times? white out has 2 spawn points like all the maps. I'm not trying to be mean or troll or whatever just saying xD

when someone camps a spot: people tend to follow the same path to the camper a few times until they kill the camper or get angry and switch class and still die.
I just try to have fun instead of getting massive amounts of kills

Yeah, i spawned on the same side 5 times for some reason. As for waiting for the cloud there everyone else was spawning on the other side and immediately running off so unfortunately i had to open the door myself every time. As i said i eventually switched to goauld and pushed the turret away then came back and killed the scientist.
