3 Respawns = Spawncamp? | Forums

[Conflagration]

Obviously with one respawn spawncamping won't be an issue. With unlimited respawns, both teams should always have about the same number of people; even if one or two guys get back there they are going to run into plenty of opposition. With three respawns, however, spawncamping seems to become far more likely. Let's say a few guys on team A use up all their respawns early in the round. Now team B has a numerical advantage and this often lets them push the remaining guys on A all the way back to the team A spawn. Anybody on A who has played a bit more cautiously and still has respawns remaining gets the living daylights beat out of them by the entire team B the moment they spawn.

Any thoughts? Or better yet, anyone willing to switch the respawns on their server so I don't lose my last two lives each round by spawning into a hail of incendiary grenades? I understand that the guys on my team who rush like there's free food at the other end of the map might prefer that I'm swiftly dispatched so we can get the next round started; but that wouldn't even be an issue with the other respawn systems.

You speaking of Attack and Defend mode?

You do get a few seconds of "no kill" mode while you spawn. Take that time to run out and kill whoever is camping you.

Yeah, I do that, too.

But, I think the OP is talking about when the rest of his team is dead, and he still hasn't died his first time yet. If that happens, then the game will end before giving you your last 2 respawns.

That's more of an issue of the team being dead and him being outnumbered rather then 3 respawns not being enough because of camping.

If your team dies it is going to be difficult to come back from that even if you had more respawns.

Yes, attack and defend.

How long is the invulnerability? Perhaps I just haven't been quick enough getting to a safe place or killing the enemies.
