Why doe people hate campers and spawn killers?

[{LAW} Gamer_2k4]

There's not much I hate more than running into my base with the flag (especially on ctf_Viet), only to get sniped by a camper, who then returns the flag. While it works, it's cheap and it defeats the purpose of the game.

"Defeats the purpose of the game?"

I admit that was a poorly worded complaint on my part.  I was referring to the game in general (Soldat) where the purpose is to have fun.  Killing the flag carrier and returning the flag IS one of the purposes of CTF.

Would 4:9 teams be fair? No, and you'd probably complain about the uneven teams. Spawnkilling accomplishes the same, which makes it impossible to have a balanced and fair game.

Please define 'fair'. And no, don't just copy from a dictionary.

You gain fun by killing others and winning; you lose fun by dying and losing. The winning side will always have fun, on the other hand, the losing side don't. You  are not the only one playing. Everyone of us got to have fun.

Fair is even teams, ideally comprised of people with similar skill levels. Simple as that. Do you think a team of four people can last against a team of nine? Wars, at least as far as infantry is concerned, are won by whichever side can throw the most bodies out on the field. Soldat is no different, and not having enough players to match against an enemy makes for a lopsided and unfair battle, likely resulting in the lesser team struggling just to successfully spawn let alone mount an attack against the enemy.

I don't hate campers because I call it a strong defence. I defend alot, usually in really odd places.

Spawn killing. Thats just annoying, because first of all only a few guns are ready to use when you spawn so if you do get a shot off, its not even gonna kill them, the knife and chainsaw both could work but they would kill you before you even change.  -_- Its just a way for noobs to feel good that they can actaully kill someone. Aside from themselves.

I don't mind campers, that's part of the game, plus, it's fun to camp... But spawn killing is unfair, only because the people respawning don't have a chance to actually play the game, and fend for their team.

i hate spawnkillers,

thats everything

Spawnkilling may only be necessary for a few seconds in CTF mode.  If someone just grabbed the enemy flag and you kill the first few people that respawn in order to give your ffc time to retreat, you really can't get mad for the defensive effort.. Other than that, I despise it.   


I think there is no reason to hate campers because a little team communication can eliminate this problem promptly.

I actually do enjoy camping once in every while, but spawnkillin' bugs me. Especially when you have a guy with an m79 just sitting their, blowing you up every time you spawn, without you bieng able to kill his ass with an auto in time, or bieng able to load up a barret shot quickly enough, hell, not even enough time to give him the taste of an m79.

That is why Spawnkilling isnt cool (in my opinion)

I don't mind campers, its part of the game and should be allowed on every server. Spawnkillers can be annoying though.
