After the latest update that stopped protecting new spawns for 10 seconds there are many players that just camp spawn sites with machine guns… It is acceptable if the spawn protection does not exist for custom spawn sites but the new hobby has already expanded and players are also camping the default spawn points! Either its infantry hiding in bushes or the guy that even brought a tank and was constantly spawn killing us all !!!
Also there should be a bonus for constructing spawn points and the other defense structures! Most of the times the gameplay is like take an engineer run to build up the spawn point, the AT gun, the AA guns, the ammo stash, the sandbags, the barded wire in the site [got three engineers in the squad] and until you are done the point is many times taken so here we go again on the new point.
Additionally there are times both in our team and the opposing one too where for some reason its like squads stop spawning. You look at the map and its only like 4 squads present with a tank so like 5 squads. Is that some sort of bug? Like times where all sites are blue but the killing feed is pretty slow and you can rarely find enemies in the Russian campaign where maps are not big.
Furthermore, the times where everybody is camping and not trying to assault the point! Has been mentioned before so will not go deep on the issue but come one guys… The game starts getting hurtful when all you do is run around trying to make do what everybody else is for some reason not doing. Like times where the point is being taken and 4 squads are in the surrounding buildings doing nothing.
Last but not least, thought it were glitches at first but seem to be cheats. You shoot a player 5 meters out in the chest with a rifle, you see the mark, he gets no damage. Second time, instead of him shooting back he is just walking, he takes the damage and dies instantly. Like somebody turning his cheat off. Hope I am wrong but its happening more and more often. Apart from players doing 120 degrees and headshoting me while I am in cover. Players not AI because he was at the window using Q and E. Hope the AI is the one shooting me through walls. EA I get it. If its still the AI.
Anyways hope the game does not end up like many others full of issues bc it seemed really promising at first. Currently its becoming tedious with all the above happening and the grind needed to unlock new stuff. We do not live for the game guys. Like how many hours needed to get the flame thrower for example?
Default spawns still has spawn protection - it was removed only from those built by engineers. Nothing changed in matter of spawncamping. It was present before.
Devs are working on that.
In Conquest each player has 10 respawns. After that he can only spectate.
That sounds more like a hitbox mistake where it was counted as an arm hit, not torso.
Is the protection time dependent on the loading time? Because I have been killed once I spawned on the default spawn sites but it takes some time to load. No FPS issue but at the start it takes like half a minute to load me in. The gun and helmet at least. The body in the first spawn is missing. Really funny. Lol
Yep that is really needed!
Invasion and we were defending so we could still spawn.
Really hope it was like that but incidents happen more and more often.
They definetely do, at least they had when I last played. That was clearly visible od D-Day map when shooting at Americans exiting their landing crafts.
But maybe devs made some kind of mistake when removing the spawn protection from rally points. But this was never mentioned in patchnote, so IF happend - was not intented
Then they must just refuse to spawn - maybe they left the game? I never noticed anything that would stop me from spawning other than running out of respawns/tickets.
It sounds like it. It would be really wierd if cheater would just turn off his cheats after few shots. And there are problems with hit registration since CAT. Sometimes for example you get shot, you see the blood but recive no damage at all.
Me neither but half the team left? Could be bc we were losing but we were losing bc there were not enough squads deployed. This incident happened like 4 times in total.
Some do so as not to be reported. In R6 for example I shot a guy 3 times in the head but the 4th killed him. It was caught on the kill cam bc it was the last kill so both teams saw it.
@114693264 Yep seems so. Thanks for posting bc I mainly play the Russian campaign. Normandy has much bigger maps and I do not like walking And yeah I get it no XP makes people go only for kills but that way the purpose of the game is lost. They should make the focus on winning xp friendly as you stated.
@114973404 Thanks. Well first times I noticed these camping techniques was after the update so the protection should be in place before.
@2974530 Killing inside the objective gives extra XP? Well another reason to camp outside of it. Lol. Bc in the objective you do not last very long.
And apart from the campaign xp needed to gain levels the xp needed to upgrade the squad level is already quite a bit for the mg guys. Mortar squads, flame throwers and after should be way too much! Gladly the tanks are in the same squad. You just change the vehicle. Whereas in planes where kills are harder to get you change squad and not vehicle. This has to change too.
And yeah I get it no XP makes people go only for kills but that way the purpose of the game is lost. They should make the focus on winning xp friendly as you stated.
