it would be a nice feature. At least make players invincible for like 1 second when they spawn.

I think it's just a fact of life that you have to deal with.

Also... MA5B, that feature would be INCREDIBLY easy to hack. That's probably why they didn't put it in. Just find the right string of code, make a few touches here and there... and you're invincible the whole game. If people weren't such jagoffs, it'd be ok, but since they are... well that's that.

Halo 2's spawn points are WAY better than CE's, yeah, it's a problem.

But Halo 2>CE.

By the by, realize you are talking in the Halo PC forums...around here, CE stands for Halo: Custom Edition for PC, not Halo: Combat Evolved.

You just deal with it. Sometimes you get the best spawn point, other times, you get unlucky and land on a nade. But spawnkillers do suck.

hah i don't find those guys that bad, i can kill them so easy... it's the AFK killers that piss me off, it's people who suck in multiplayer games, or they are losing by a few kills and in a large game they go and net a few easy AFK kills, where i'm sure there's at least 1 erson AFK in a large game, they can easily kill that person and gain a kill, in heavy weapons games it's a bit more accidental when this happens, but otherwise that's just plain cheap.

Hmm, I dunno, with over 300 maps, many with the same weapons and such as Halo 2, and the fact it's free, Halo Custom Edition seems better...

No shield, and HW games are where the most spawn killing happens. Sometimes it's either kill them now or let them spawn and let them kill you. I know what I would pick. When they are outside the base with a chain hog in no shields? Thats cheap.

It is a kill-or-be-killed game, like Chewy said, so if you dont spawnkill, they might kill you. If you do it with a bit more skill, like say with a sniper rifle, then thats fine, at least if you miss, you wont kill, but spawnkilling with a tank...now thats just cheap.

To sum it up... There's a fine line between decent and noobish. Don't cross it.

halo PC has a similar spawn program. it spawns you near an ally, so that you guys can team up and overpower the opponentt. unfortunatly, that's not always possible. what's always best is to send some of your team into the heat of battle, and let atleast one guy hang back to police the new spawns

Or more importantly provide defense. I usually score my flag captures when no one is at their base and at mine. I grab it and as soon as they respawn after dying in their attempt to hold us down and get the flag with EVERYONE at our base - I'm already cruising over the last hill.

Belive it or not but it is possible to beat the spwn killers you just have to work as a team(which people in halo games dont do anymore)

Yeah...More often than not, your tank-driving opponent gets a mega-kill instead.

The most annoying thing about hpc is the lack of chat. There is no way you can shout out a command, or a call for help, especially when you have the flag and everybody's gunning for you.

=====>yes, I know about teamspeak<=====

Team speak is out of the question i mean how are ya goonaa get every one into the same server on teamspeak any way there are 1,000 games going on at once anyway. I think they should of had a built in teamspeak thing in halo. They could still put it in with a new patch but hey BUngie and mircosoft are tooo lazy for anything but serucity pacths.
