Question concerning Acropolis2

As of late I have been getting complaints about respawn camping on this map. I made a pic of where I snipe people. The blue outline is where I only kill enemy snipers that spot me. And I kill everyone else past the red. If you admins think that this is respawn camping I will stop. Thanks for your time.

In my opinion, I can't see anything wrong with that except the lower blue area . It is pretty close and people who are whacked several times as they run out would be upset and screaming for relief. I think they should just get you! As you have said you don't attack anyone outside of your boundries but a person running out wont be to concerned about a few feet of difference. I get them as they come out of the other respawn when Im heading to the flag.
Thanks for the heads up I'll be watching for you there!
Be prepared for more screaming though. Its just so close you will have further problems I'm sure.

I was there once, and I didn't complain, but IMO it is well, respawn. Respawn, walk, jump, die.

I don't like it at all. To me, I should at least have a chance to get you. You're not really giving snyone a chance to "get" you sniping there. Their only choice is to gang up on you to get you out of there. Eventually, they will get you. If I was getting sniped that like, I would definately say something. I refer you to the server rules:

Eagle there is one flaw in your justification:

Umm.. knock it off, Eagle. That's as close to spawn camping as you can get in my book.

Yeah, I remember taking it a few times as I came out of there... EE, you were playing as Rocket that game, right? I know you got me twice about one step after the door opened. The other guy got me serveral times too.

Acropolis2 is a very tough map for that... the spawns open adjactent to where all the fighting goes on... erring on the side of caution should be the rule there. When I play engie on that map (alot of the time), I want to build somewhere in their base, but every place would be respawn camping except at their flag.

Another thing to consider from your screenshot EE... basically, all you can see is the respawn entrance and a small area near there... that'd be considered "hanging out around NME respawn", IMHO.

I appreciate all of your opinions. The reason I snipe there sometimes is because some times the other team hardly comes out of there base. And when I said I snipe enemy snipers that spot me, I mean snipers that are just standing there sniping my team. Plus I go there because when my team gets the flag and they try to run it out of the base, I can snipe people following them. I only snipe there when the enemy team isn't coming out of there base and are just playing D. Thanks again.
