man, whats is going on with sharpshooter online these days ??? most people just wanna spawn kill / camp, whats the point - theres no skill in a team lone wolfing then rushing the other sides camp and standing there all match spawn killing - its ridiculus and takes no skill what so ever.

If you wanna spawn camp why dont you just connect the second controller and play against that - at least it wont shoot back!! it just spoils the whole game and is childish and it always seems to be Americans that do it - why is that as whenever i play with English people we all know the score and never spawn camp!!

I wish UBIsoft would sort this out somehow and make online play better

Man, whats is going on with sharpshooter online these days? It seems like people simply do not defend their spawn point any more. At it's core the game is about attacknig the other team and botteling them up in their spawn. Any more opposing teams leave their spawn completely unprotected and get dominated. Don't they understand that part of the game is playing defensively? I mean my team just walks right in and controls the map because they refuse to acknowledge that they have a vulnerability just like my team does.

I hate playing teams that completely ignore a built in aspect of the game.....in no time we have controlled their spawn and just sit there killing them as they spawn. Why do they insist on playing half of the game? PROTECT YOUR SPAWNS!

Have you ever seen anyone post on a forum that they are fed up with a game because they were too easily able to spawn camp and lock down the other team? The next time I see someone seriuosly post like above, will be the first.

I recall a post a long while back to some guy's manifest about spawn killing and playing to win. The argument placed above goes along those lines.

I understand that guy's philosophy, though I don't agree with it. There are some very good points, but overall, the recolection I have was that it was not about gaming to have fun, but gaming to win. There is a difference.

A lot of people want to play SS the same as, or nearly the same as LMS, and not play it as a gametype where the objective is to push into the other teams spawn and make sure they don't take two steps out of it. But I know you all know that.

The problem is when you get the gaming to win folks vs the gaming to have fun folks.

lol.

That is definately a difference....although I think the overall problem is people playing the wrong gametype. The very nature of unlimited respawn games results in this same argument repeatedly.

It is kind of like playing Halo 2 and complaining that it is a run and gun game. Well, no fake. If you don't want run and gun, don't play Halo 2. Same principle here.

People that have such an issue with this need to play LMS no respawn or siege.

Ick

the problem is, you join a game- and then the host has the squads locked - so he chooses the players and yes you guessed it- all the five star players go with the host untill hes filled 8 players and everyone else can go on the other team - so me joining late and being a five star gets lumbered on the **** team and spawn killed all the way through - aint no fun in my opion.

Ick
with regards to your post - i take it your one of these people - hence you sticking up for spawn camping - well just you try a 15 minute game and getting continually spawn killed for 13 minutes and then see if you stick the whole game out ?? its annoying, its boring for the person getting camped and its childish and no i dont want to play Seige or LMS otherwise i would

and besides - wheres the skill in all your teams mates standing around 3 spawn points continually firing at the other players who dont have a cats in hells chance of being fairly able to fight back??

wow you can fire and kill someone repeatedly when they cant fight back woopeedooo - not so fair is it mate?

....hence why I don't see the value in playing unlimited respawn games as a general rule...unless teams are evenly matched or it serves some kind of competition purpose.

If you have two evenly skilled teams they meet in the middle of the map....and it becomes a battle to push into the enemy spawn and by definition results in a capture the spawn battle.

There deep seeded strategy and teamwork required to BOTH defend your own spawn while capturing the enemy spawn.

Unweighted teams will OBVIOUSLY result in one-sided games that you would think are no fun for anyone.

If you played one on one basketball with your 8 year old nephew and cleaned his clock neither of you would have fun. This is what these people do that you describe.

Now if two evenly matched players square off....THIS is the game I am talking about.

isnt there a 5 second invulnerability when you spawn? throw a grenade and clear a way out of your spawn, and you wont have to worry about it. and spawn camping is killing someone as soon as they spawn, so unless they are standing next to you when you spawn, they arent really spawn camping. what would you prefer these teams do? let your team get into a good position, and then they are allowed to fire? if it bothers you that much, there are other game types that are much more fun to play than sharpshooter.

disregard comment about 5 second invulnerability, was thinking of the wrong game.

so in other words your post is completely pointless

Can't fire during invulnerability timer.I don't think so anyways.

this is the way i look at it if u suck so much that they get in your spawn then thats ur fault

Play Last Man Standing. It totally eliminates Spawns and Spawn campers!

yawn... that seems to be every spawn campers reply. No i dont suck - prove it?? i hear you ask - just look up my gamertag on the leaderboards mate ! - oh by the way i dont see your name anywhere close to the top!!

Alright Alright Alirght!!!

For those of you who dont like Spawn Camping...

Is there a such thing as Invunerablility Timer?
Are there people with same skill level as you?
Could you buy your own connection?
Could you host your own rules?
Couldn't you make a game that supports the inferior IE the compaliners?

You can modify this game so you dont have to put up with spawn killing if you feel like.

5 Stars means absolutly nothing. I was the first person on SS with 5 stars and I still have them but I am strictly a Siege player.

Guy who keeps metioning you're on leader boards. Stop this you are garbage if that is your referance. We will make game outpost only go on traintracks race to 20 kills and see??

BTW those of you you said there would be a dl and bashed me a few months back Whats up? Nothing still out strange though I'm still wrong right?

This forum makes me laugh.. I'm a person who plays or has played every GR game religiously hours on end, played for the top clans, etc. etc.. these whiners sound like a bunch of noobs who don't understand basical tactical skills.
Spawn killing is punishment for sucking, and only happens to people who refuse to try and figure out new ways to play.. it's all about adapting.. and by the way, you can spawn camp me, and I will still kill you.. yes, there's a way. It sounds like sharpshooter isn't the mode for you. Play LMS or siege or something, or maybe just be a total n00b and crank up the invulnerability timer so you can run away like the beyotch you are.
btw.. my gt is mr ekted 777. come and find me and I'll show you how to play this game. i host 16 person rooms every night. I'm the guy you cry about when I repeatedly smack you and everyone else in my way..
and lol to the guy who said he is a 5 star and hates playing against players who are five stars on the hosts team... LMAO. All of a sudden stars mean something? Do you even know that there's ways to join a game with only 1 star? I do it frequently just so people underestimate me.
These forums are funny to me..
I just came here to ***** about the fact that I haven't seen any DLC for GR2SS..no new info of course, but at least I got to laugh at some noobs.
oh and also.. don't ever question ick. believe everything he says. I have personally never played with him or against him (knowingly), but I can tell you that I have seen his work on the gun stats and that he has been around since day one. big ups for that ick. you're a popular dude in the GR community.

whos questioning Ick?

spawn campers are pussy *** losers with no skill. LOSERS i tell ya. I mean loooooooosers!!!

As far as SPAWN KILLING goes, if you have the SKILL, why do it in a SPAWN. I have a firm belief that people who SPAWN KILL don't have the Skill to play the proper way... It's like when SPAWNERS start off they say to themselves, Hey let's hurry up and pin them down because if we dont we will lose...

Yes I agree, where's the fun in it if they watch you SPAWN and kill you repeatedly? Sounds to me like someone is scared to sit back and play by SKILL...
