Maybe he thinks like a trap it's sprung fast so like on village when you storm up that corridor by the burnt out car and catch three or four people spawning in thats a spawn trap but if you spend the entire match sitting on the spawn you're camping so spawn camp.

Not saying thats what it is just an idea.

I believe spawn trapping is like those good old Black Ops Demolition days. You know, the ones where people would sit directly in front of a spawn point and kill you as soon as you spawn?

Spawn Camping is when, like he said, you take two flags on Domination and trap them at the other one. Spawn trapping is when you're whole team are at certain spots, killing people as soon as they spawn. that's how they got those unbelievable scores on Black Ops, such as 501-8. It's on youtube if you look it up.

Did you ever see the mw2 video, domination on favela? Where a team locked the spawn down to the point where the enemy spawned and instantly was getting shot by a guy with a RPD.

I'd say this was the extreme spawn trapping.

And spawn camping i'd say is like when you play dome, you can often hang by the two humvee's next to the blue netting/tarpooling...you can aim over to the building and the guys would come out of there after spawning inside

I suppose the difference is...one you cant avoid dying, but the other you can and are able to fight your way out of.

Spawn killing is essential sitting on a static spawn like those found in sabotage ctf and killing the enemy as they spawn giving them no real chance to fight back. Some may look at spawn killing and spawn trapping the same, but when i think of spawn trapping the best example i can think of is domination on interchange and having you team hold b and c while covering the 3 exits from the a flag the other team basically gets trapped in the back corner there and they only have limited and narrow paths they can come from so many clans will just sit back and cover those 3 paths for easy kills. While I think doing my definition of spawn trapping is cheap, it is ok to do and not get reset, however people have been reset for what i described as spawn killing.

I put two videos below as you can see in both they refer to it as spawn trapping in the videos themselves but IMO they are two completly different things as the first video the players have zero chance to make it out of the spawn the second video shows flaws in the game spawns and map design along with finding a lobby where players are bad and cannot figure out how to fight their way out of a bad spawn situation.

Spawn Trapping is simply trapping people in the area they control and spawn out of. As in Dom Terminal. If you have C and B, they will usually jus spawn in Dreams or behind it. As long as no one triggers the spawn into moving.
