.... for some reasons I did not see any spawn/beach camping on Anzio since the new version. I wonder why.

Speaking of that.... Anzio has now a couple of tunnels axis side when exiting respawn, where you go through a demolished building. IMO, camping that building should be ok, just like the axis building of Avalanche, but I wonder what is your thoughts guys about that.

BTW, everybody understand I want thoughts, so Shockwave is not required to answer... #Fade in

The new version will not allow anyone to go where they are not allowed, it will autokill you. So far what I've seen has been just fine. Just keep in mind that we want to keep it even and fair. Although the map may not autokill you, you gotta wonder if the enemy has a fair shot of getting out of respawn.

The funny thing is when the llamas start to complain about being slain. They will start bitching at an admin for killing them when it was the map doing it. I saw this a few times when the new version came out.

Still, in the case of dod_flash, I think the map makers did a stupid thing, placing the flag next to the respawn. When capping it I have no other choices than killing players as soon as they exit respawn, if i want to survive.

Really? I didn't notice that

That is good news.

On a side note, ifind it good we have a rotation of 5-6 maps, as we do not always play the same maps. Anzio is greatly improved in this new version IMO. I would suggest that we continue to try other maps after some time, as dod_Chimelle and dod_donner seem fun too. Strangely, I don't like Caen as much anymore. I don't know exactly why I feel that way. Maybe because the varity of the other maps makes Caen looks old.

I haven't had thet time to check some of the other maps Paddy as far as the camping thing goes. But it has always been that once you are fired on then you have the right to fire back. If the flag has been capped just sit to the side if you can. If not then that may be a map we need to take out of rotation. Again I am not too familiar with the map yet.

Actually I have seen somebody camp respawn on Anzio on the American respawn. He would peek out over the wall facing the beach and pop you as soon as you came out from behind that piece of cliff. Esentially you take a step or two after respawning then pop, respawn, then pop. He finally stop when maps changed, so evidently he thought it was ok on that specific map.

And yes flash is wierd. Why would they put the flag so near to the respawn. I think it is ok if you are charging to that last flag to shoot at the enenmy, because in my experience as the enenmy I am trying to kill you to stop you from getting the last flag. Even if I am in the area that secret MG protects.

Thanks alot.

Pornstar brought up a good point. People can still respawn camp by shooting down the axis ramp (less of respawn camping now) and by shooting onto the allie beach.

Yes, the windows are moved but we still have people completely blocking 1 of 2 exits from the respawn, killing the fun for the other team.

I have seen this once or twice myself . Get a WonID and preferably time and server that it's going on. Make sure you warn them first that it isn't allowed. If it continues after the warning then you can either send the info by PM, IM, or using the complaint department. With this info I will solve the problem in a hurry .
