Eh psychology is a big part of the game. You should do what you can to frustrate the other team into making mistakes.
Why would I allow the other team to come back; to gain momentum?
That's not sportsman-like. It's just unwise.
I've seen big comebacks in Halo. They usually come when one team allows the other to regroup as they take the pressure off.
Exactly. In football you dont see defenses stop forcing 3 and outs just to make the other team feel better.
In football, players are paid for doing their best and winning, in games, unless you belong to MLG you don´t receive any (real) money for winning. So, what´s the point of being a douche?.
Spawn killing is taking advantadge of a design flaw, there isn´t an intelligent spawn system or more well distributed spawn places.
For example, the most common example of spawn-killing (and the reason why I stopped playing BTB) is Paradiso-Red Team, if the blue team manage to gain control of the cliff, (which is very easy for them) they have tons of good and easy to defend sniper places, plus, they can overlook the banshee and tank spawn. And the final piece of the cake: Reds spawn in the open.
Yep, their big juicy heads are just waiting a sniper bullet to go through them, and there´s little to nothing to do if the sniper gets acompanied by a banshee or a tank.
Of course, there´s no written rule that forbids spawn killing, but there´s also no rule to prevent players from using AL, or camping into the yellow and red lift on Sword Base in a Living Dead match, or camping the tower in Pinnacle, or hiding "outside boundaries" in Boardwalk, or using a Banshee in a Elite Slayer map, or any other flaw this game has.
The way I see Spawn Killing is that, just taking advantadge of design flaws, annoy players, and being a douche, if this game´s population is so low, it is because: 50% the tons of flaws(Bloom, AL, Glitches, Bugs etc...), 50% d-bag players that take advantadge of those flaws in order to make an annoying game even more annoying.
College players, high school players, and little league players dont get paid and they will do it if they have the opportunity to.
