Controlling spawns, is it legit and how is it done?

Posted by jessedart on Dec 11, 2012 2:41 AM

ok, so last sunday afternoon I was playing against a team that kept the team I was on (random people) spawning at the front of the ship on hijacked.  I literally had to fight tooth and nail to prevent getting spawn killed over and over again. In the end I got spawn killed about 10-12 times before I managed to break free

 

My question is, how does this tactic work, how do u control where the enemy spawns and is it cheating, the other team were also moving at high speeds insomuch that it was almost impossible to hot them, weird thing is it didnt seem laggy at all.

 

It seemed as if the enemy team postioned themselves in such a way that it forced my team to keep spawning in the same place.  I cant remember exactly but they were on the balcony that over looks the very front of the ship and they had player on the left and right stair over looking the very front of the ship.

 

The other team played very well together as a team, they each knew what they were doing BUT they didnt have clan tags or anything and they were all mostly snipers

    Google spawn trapping.

     

    Mixed views on this topic and always hotly debated.

    its a cheap tactic (exploit) and is just a way of abusing the games broken spawns, its not good play and is a cheap low skill tactic but a sad reality in BO2

    it is a legit tactic, people who say  its an exploit are scrubs. good players can spawn trap as well as break free from spawn traps. the boat is a horrid map and one of the hardest to get out of due to poor map design. some of my best games are when i have broke out of  a great spawn trap and flipped it on the other team.

     

    my advice is learn how to do it, but also learn how to break out of them, have a class or two ready to change too that can help you achive this. i have 2, with smoke and target finders/dual band lmgs, flash bangs, cold blooded and other bits and bobs that can help break free from em. but my number 1 tip if ur getting trapped is not to immediately respawn when you die, watch the killcam, see were they are posted up and dont run out as soon as you spawn, tread carfeully and use a tac insert to put in a safe place when u break free.

    Agree tough to escape trap but can be done with right class tactics and a little patience.

    The spaws in Hijacked are kinda bad for spawn trapping, or any kind of spaning in general because of the crappy spawns. Sometimes you'll shoot someone and they'll spawn 2 feet to your left while you're reloading. But spawn trapping is a legitimate tactic that even the devs suggest doing in Domination.

    this is the thing, if you cant get out of the trap, your missing somthing important from your arsenal. satisfying to break out of a good one spawn trap.

    Agree, alway feel like I've done ok to break out. Then I full on seek revenge.
