Subject: Why no spawn shielding?

I don't get it, is this game promoting spawn camping or something?

Because its not only annoying it is also quite unfair to spawn and get killed right away by an explosion or a sniper you can't even see.

Seriously why isn't there a 3 or 5 second spawn shield?

This isn't a baby game.

Invasion has shield doors on the 2nd phase. Close as you'll get.

Wow gotta love the replies in here, guess thats the level of maturity of this whole community if half of the replies are insults.

ITZ CUZ U SUCKZORZ HAHA NEWB!

OT: I agree with you OP. Reach is doomed though, Hopefully 343 gets it right in Halo 4.

Im just asking a legitimate question, I already know the majority of the Halo community is pretty pathetic but spawn shielding is a means to balance the game.

I was literally spawn camped by a banshee throughout a whole game since the map only had 1 area to spawn.

So Mr. Wise guy above there telling me I suck or I should quit because of that is just flat out stupid.

What playlist?

Don't worry there'll be death-streaks in Halo 4.

Just ignore them. OT: It's not a horrible idea, but it'd be better if they have it only a few playlists than every playlist.

I'm pretty sure the game has had enough skill sapped from it.

  • 03.09.2012 9:31 AM PDT

If you get spawn killed, you either break out, or die over and over.

Most people aren't even good enough to break out of an easy spawn trap.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

There are already enough handicaps for good players and crutches for bad ones in Reach. If you're getting spawn trapped it's you're own fault and the game shouldn't bail you out.

Because that would be stupid. If you are getting spawn killed then you should just quit.


Yeah, quitting solves everything. If you want to go quit games then play CoD but Halo isnt just some game you can quit in because you suck.

Rate the difficulty of escaping this one then lord almighty spawn trap escaper.

@Blackdog Rker: I was playing an invasion match and I kept getting killed repeatedly on our spawn point by a banshee.

And btw Im not claiming to be awesome at the game and I don't really care I play for fun, but the game isn't very welcoming to new players if there isn't a spawn shield.

Ive literally been 1 shotted by a DMR 2 seconds after spawning, I don't know if people have god skills or modded controllers, whatever the case it isn't really balanced at all.

That might of been lag but otherwise I'd stick to playlists with less players on each team. Full teams stalk that playlist anyway. Lol at everyone picking on a legit new player.
