DOD Camping

You might want to remove the camping setting on DOD since a big part of that game is actually camping, just a thought.............

Are we allowing people to snipe into spawn now just because they can see it?

Would it be better to increase the camping check time instead of removing it completly? Just a thought 'cause DoD has too many campers.

DOD and Battlefield 1942 share the same characteristics. .In that, your constantly fighting over the same spawn points. There really isn't spawn camping if you think about it. You have to take all the flags.

If your spawn is no where near a flag, that's spawn camping and quite lame. It's impossible to be black&white about the subject in DOD.

Compare it to Warpath. . . . .I think if you treat every DOD map like Warpath, the same way you would in TFC, all camping issues are solved. Accidents will happen though.

But in the DOD maps I've played each side has one spawn on the opposite sides of the map. I've been sniped on the beach as ally before taking a step and sniped as axis before switching areas. I haven't played any of the maps with floating spawns yet KRG. I just want to know if they are going to be allowed to snipe into the static spawns. If they are I'll go ahead and uninstall it.

I know exactly what you are talking about.

Keep in mind that this is just how I see it.

The beach is again. . not black and white. I have seen people spawn, drop and take aim. So, if you can't attack spawn, you shouldn't be allowed to fire from it.

Now, mainstream DOD servers do let quite a bit slide. It's just the only way. You would be kicking/banning people every single game. People are used to playing that way when they come here.

It's really up to the powers that be. Good point to bring up though. I am curious myself.

It will take us awile to find out what maps work, rules, and even class limitations. Hopefully soon we will be able to regulate the servers better than 2 days in.

Spawn camping should not be allowed, with the maps that are in rotation this shouldnt be an issue, nor with most of the rest of the standard maps. the only maps where this would be an issue are either of the beach maps but then their trying to keep those maps in line with what really happened. The DOD team says that on the website about how lopsided the beach maps are. On a couple of maps the spawn point will move closer to the middle of the map, if a specific point is capped. (IE the bridge) however still well behind where the main battlefield should be. IMO treat spawn campers the same as in TFC the concept is exactly the same and there should be no excuse for it

Thanks for the reply to our questions Silver. Aside from the couple of games I was getting sniped while in spawn it's really been fun.
