ashdexx Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 ok, i know much cant be done about this, but its pissing me off. the lameasses that go to a player spawn point, and just camp there, killing ppl as they spawn. i mean honestly, i dont mind dying, but when i get killed 4 seconds after starting, my interest in playing drops, alot. to me this offense is almost as bad as someone using a trainer. The mexican spawn is the most offending spot, as you get the m60 there, and the rooftop is hard(er) to hit ppl on, than on the ground. And dont tell me to choose another character, thats not the point. could some sort of check be implemented that checks if a player is in certain radious or spot for X amount of time, and maybe decrease their health when they've "camped" a certain spot for too long? Since there arent really any sniper-ish weapons, and the alternate aim doesnt work, i expect players should be on the move fairly often anyway, so it wouldnt affect anyone who's really playing.
[KFC]KungFu Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 There isn't anything that can or should be done. If you don't like that then change characters. It's free for all unless agreed otherwise. I spawn as a mexican 90% of the time and I agree that people spawn kill. In that case just get ready to run get that health and hop over the railing and your home free. I have been accused of spawnkilling at the airport but we were outside and he was shooting! Just because we are both the mexican character doesn't mean I can't kill you, so how long do you need before you are officially in the game? 5 mins? 500 ft? This isn't directed at you specifically but at the subject in general.
Mr.Death Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 ive been spawn kill a million time's, if you know were the guy is just move as fast as you can then kill him with the m60
Dgtadude Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 No man you have to be very "lucky" to get spaw killed in MTA . Since it lags a lot . You can just spaw and run for oyur life and the guy will not be able to shoot you. Only if your playing in LAn . Then there will be no lag . But if your playing online it is super easy . Just pay atention
happyrock Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Meh spawn killing was way worst in mta .01 considing that there was only one spawn. So I don't even fined this to be a problem anymore infact
Magus Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Well if anything, they should have like a 300 ft safe zone, 10 seconds, or when the spawned player shoots, whichever comes first.
[KFC]KungFu Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Well if anything, they should have like a 300 ft safe zone, 10 seconds, or when the spawned player shoots, whichever comes first. I usually wait for the spawned player to shoot I think then it is open season. The problem is that the next guy to spawn is caught in the crossfire. I am just ready to fight when I get in and if that spot is way too hot I might just spawn somewhere else.
me Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Technically MTA is a free for all, even though it was originally meant to be a team game... So you'll just have to live with it for now.
Magus Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Well, im not bitching about it, I don't have that problem very often, I'm just offering up a suggestion for a future version. Make it to where you could have it on or off.
ashdexx Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 perhaps i just seem to have bad luck, but there's isnt enough lag to stop other f u c k s from killing me outside of 3 shots. Free for all doesnt mean stand in one spot and kill ppl as they enter the game, it means anyone can kill anyone, and teamplay is not in effect, nor is stunting.
@ndy Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 i always see mexicans killin anythin that moves (includin themselves) maybe there could be a friendly fire option 4 the admin?
DeLuXxX Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 I dont think spawn killing has to be "killed"... I mean, I dont like campers in CS, but this is the game... the anticampometers are just as annoying as the camp itself... Just spawn elsewhere... If guyz really camp at a spawn point, it wont be hard for u to spawn elsewhere and find allies to kill the spawn bastards
@ndy Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 maybe ppl can't face being diff characters im always crusader so its not a prob 4 me
Ransom Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Dude its not hard to get away from spawn w/o dying. That other dudes right, you would be LUCKY to get hit cause there is usually lag cloaking you. On a happier note: Some servers heavily enforce rules against things like this. Find them and stick to them.
fuku Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 i always see mexicans killin anythin that moves (includin themselves)maybe there could be a friendly fire option 4 the admin? mta is still ffa. i usually spawn as a cop, and as there are two spawn points, i don't find spawn killing a prblm. still, it must be 4 ther to be a topic . maybe the spawn points could be random within an area, i think that could help, if the spawn killer couldn't be sure where you might appear. then you might spawn behind him and be able to kill him b4 he can get a bead on ur a$$.
vass69 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 its bad but you cant do anything against it nothing
[KFC]KungFu Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 I am not even saying it's bad. Have you ever been at the airport as the mex and all the cars are gone? Makes me want to kill!!! I don't wait for them to appear and shoot down the hall but if they are moving around outside the airport or even in the lobby, and I don't have a ride? I'm shooting. MTA is ffa and just like the ref tells the boxers at the start of a bout. Protect yourself at all times.
[mr.]Mr.Hat Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Look there is nothing u can do about it. spawn campers ar just going to do it any way. if there was a vote kick system it might help.
SM|rawk_it Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 its really a stupid thing to 'camp' in the spawn place, and kill just to get more score.. but its not like u cant do anything.. just spawn someplace else or just when u spawn u can run and hide because of the lag/bugs u wont get hurt
«×V¡®u§×» Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 wat about having a 10 secs spawn armour were ur invincible 4 10 secs wen u respawn so it gives a chance 2 at least hide. i duno if this can be done its just a suggestion
SM|rawk_it Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 sounds good to me edit: oh btw, its like those arcade games when u first get ingame u have the 5 sec armor\invisble thing
trx Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 We're currenty finding a way to get rid of some of the camping. Most likely we will use a system that looks for a ped-node near a random given point in the desired spawn-area. This would make it nearly impossible to predict the spawning coords of another player.
@ndy Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 how would that work? not questionin ur idea, its a gr8 idea
