Killing w/ spawn protection.

How close to spawn would you have to be for 3 seconds to be enough for someone to kill you?

 

If there was no spawn protection, and your team was getting spawn trapped, it would be VERY unfair as whenever you spawn in you die. I also like the spawn protection if I am going to sui on infected; It gives he a little advantage and makes flanking that little bit easier.

 

Its only "bad" on ffa and gungame,I dont realy get why its there on gungame and ffa >:/

But it should be there on ctf and tdm, to prevent spawnprot. It's there for a reason. It's not funny to spend 1 game spawntraped...

And if your complaining on FIVE secs, Your to close to there spawn, just move back and don't spawn camp, ;/

 

Spawnprot is for 7 seconds imo.
Are you suggesting to remove it?

 

Spawn prot is there for a reason and gives enough time to kill someone, even with a m16 and a usp.

No

 

The only thing compared to "Spawn Protection" should be fixing the glitch where you can't kill anyone for 10 seconds and don't receive any deaths but still have to respawn.

 

Spawn protection is not going to be removed in my opinion. Maps that are open lie Seatown I think on all sides would be op since you could charge forward with minigun and nuke 1, nuke again, nuke again. 3 second spawn prot is appropriate amount of time. If you lose your nuke due to spawn prot, pro tip, don't get close to their spawn. Fit yourself in a suitable position where you can kill the opponent while being in a safe spot away from spawn protected players.

This is I believe a good thing for some maps but can be agreeable for others.

 

The only time spawn protection is annoying is when you are spawn-camping, which spawn protection should be essential for this case. However, in Free For All/Gungame, the first 7 seconds or so are dead periods, where you cannot receive kills for killing enemies. Once the times reaches 371 seconds, you are free to kill. I do not believe there is general spawn protection in FFA/Gungame whenever people respawn, but only a little bit, so you can still spawn trap as you please. xD
So basically, if you're spawntrapping in TDM/CTF, you deserve to get rekt by a spawn-proection "nub."

 

I've seen that idea when it got posted and I agree'd to it, but that part saying that you're unable to damage others while being spawnprotted is something I'm against

 

Because that would just ruin spawnprotection making it easier to get a billion kills and get newbies to say: "Oh yeah, Mc-War, that server SUX it's all just spawntrap while people who have farmed it gets billions of kills, never join that server" It's already like that, but if we nerf spawnprot it'll just get worse

 

FFA and Gungame yes I see your point but reduce it on CTF and TDM and Inf? no IMO. If anything I think that the knockback force from bullets and explosions should not exist while you have spawn protection so you can actually get out of spawn if ur getting spawn camped *cough* overgrown_inf on server 1 *cough*

In my opinion, spawn resistance is extremely important, but can be tweaked to be better in some ways. Without spawn protection, there would be almost no chance of the root zombie getting any kills. It would be almost impossible for them to actually start the game up. The root would just get shot by god knows how many ray guns and everyone else. Albeit, it may be annoying sometimes, but without it, there wouldn't be any fun infect games. Furthermore, in TDM/CTF, spawn trapping would be so much more common and when it happens, there would be no way out of it. There would just be too many bullets flying towards the spawn that no one could get out. Also, one mini user could just come right up to the spawn and just rank up hundreds of kills easily. There just would be no way out.

I do like the idea of no spawn res in FFA/gungame. It would make it flow much better and all that. The only downside would be the spawn killing. Most of the time, right when you spawn, someone's shooting at you already. You would just die and it wouldn't be very fun. It seems to me that taking out spawn protection would have major downsides and upsides. It would be a very risky thing to do.

I do really like Firestorm's idea of when you shoot, it takes away the spawn protection. It would keep the spawn trapping down all while making it much more fun in FFA and gungame.

 

Spawnprotection should be four seconds instead of seven/eight (not sure what it is now), because:

• There are maps where you can go out of spawn and shoot at the centre of the map within six seconds.
• Spawntrapping is caused by overload of skill on one team, a shorter spawnprotection would only give more kills, but wouldn't cause more spawntrapping than now.
• You only need four seconds to ingest the surroundings.
