I get so sick of people saying that its "beginner" to spawn kill. It is an effective tactic for limiting the other team's defense in CTF. Besides, unless you are a complete beginner, its not that hard to break a spawn killer. I get an average of 5-10 kills before i die when i spawn kill, usually just long enough for my team to get in and out with the flag. However, spawn killing is only beginner when you are sunk without it. I can win at CTF or any other game without spawn killing. I agree, that it is cheap for people to only beat you because they spawn kill. But i dont think that spawn killing as a tactic should recieve such a bad rap....it really isnt that hard to deal with.

Are you talking about respawn killing (otherwise known as respawn rapist)?

Specific....killing people as they respawn on top of the enemy base in CTF BG.....before everyone eats me alive...i can win without doing this, plus im never up there for long before i get killed, considering i play against elites. It is basically a tactic to allow a flag return, not to boost my kill count. Plus they can respawn on the ground, ending my spawn killing.

Spawn camper are beginner cause they kill popel as they appear and can do it other way and its not a tactic its a NOOB tactics :-) and Spawn camping is realy -blam!- when you saty there all the game. But if you only do 1 or 2 kill just so you flag carrier can go away its fine other way its -blam!-. ANd after poeple saying '' ima pro i did 30 kill ( and i spanw kill all the game ahah iam a noob undercover)'' that really cheap

i agree completely, i do the 1 or 2 kill thing you mentioned, just to get the flag carrier away, and people call that noob. it gets on my nerves. and i agree, doing it the whole game or for kills is very noob

we dont talk trash when we win unless they started it first. Most clans claim to be unbeatable so when we win we usaully say somethin but talkin trash is jus stupid and we try to avoid it. as long as u dont start somethin were not gonna talk trash

You are being big-headed and disrespectfull to those other clans you mentioned when you say you "raped" them, also i don't think spawnkiling is a particuly "skilled" way of winning a match or holding an enemy off for any amount of time ESPECIALLY with a sniper rifle but it is pretty god dam tempting innit, its like running someone over who has a rocket launcher and their back turned to you, you know you won't get and cred for it but you wanna do it anyway.
Also when clans say there "the best clan ever" its just gameman ship innit? you know keeping up moral of the clans members and stuff something i think should be suported so long as the clans don't start bad-mouthing others.

Break yourselves of the scrub mindset you are currently suck in, and stop complaining about perfectly legitimate tactics.

It is most definitely a beginner tactic if used in Slayer. Just sitting there (usually with Shotgun or Pistol) and knacking anyone who appears to rack up your points is just wrong.

In CTF, it is an effective way of holding the enemy in their base, but its not exactly dignified is it? Taking the enemy out before they've even got their bearings and weapon of choice can be classed as a little cheap (some would argue that comment with "They should be able to defend themselves with any weapon"). Even though you don't necessarily get a point for the kill, the fact that you are holding the enemy back means you'll get one eventually.

In, my opinion it is classed as cheap and nasty. Usually a beginner tactic.
