I have been playing a lot of Black Arrow since it came out and everytime I go to a public server it is loaded with spawn campers (at least with the two new modes). Luckily most of the time I only play with a select group of "R&R" gamers so it usually isn't an issue. I just really hope Bungie does something that will make spawn-camping a non-issue, because it can suck the fun right out of any game.

EDIT: My gamertag on my sig should be tasandmnm, and it says that in my settings! What the blam is wrong?!?

i agree spawn camping is anoying but really enjoyable when ur dong it your self. i think bungie will fix the problen with lots of spawn points and randomly choosing one or waiting for it to clear like in campain waiting to respawn to many enamys nearby u get d picture?

I kind of hope they don't do the "to many enemies nearby, waiting to spawn" in multiplayer, that could possibly mean a bunch of people from one team just waiting to spawn because the other team is in their spawn! I am sure Bungie wouldn't do that though, hopefully it will be a completely random respawn with maybe a 2-3 second invincibility after spawn.

Fun for one person and annoyance for everyone else is not a way to sell a game, so I'm sure they'll work on this. If it does happen, the best thing to do is to try to come up with anti-camping tactics and/or rules.

i believe I read a recent report from someone who had played a zanzibar demo just a few weeks ago that said whenever they watched a spawn point, nout spawned there, would seem that they've already sorted this problem out :D

Spawn capers are just people who have no skill. I know one, everytime we play anything at BG, he spawn camps with a Sniper Rifle. He never wins though, but it's still annnoying as all Hell. And from what I hear, there'll be some sort of system that will sense if someone is aiming at where you wuld spamn, and it'll spawn you somewhere else.

How dare I question the greatness that is Bungie! It is good to hear that they have put thought into this (unlike some other companies, cough, UBI, cough). I should be flogged for even thinking that Bungie has not already thought of this and other things that already plague other "ordinary" games.
