Now that we can spawn in a hacked base...(a new tactic)

[Tenchiro]

Why not get a few squads to deconstruct at the tower and re-spawn in the base. Spawn campers would never expect MAX's to come flowing out of the tubes. Not to mention that alot of the spawn rooms are pretty close to the CC.

I tried to do this on the first day the patch went in, but I was not [ever] able to respawn at the hacked base we were defending...has anyone else been able to do this? Maybe I was just the victim of a bug with bad timing....

I think it was fixed in that little client patch thing. Although I don't see how spawning at a hacked base is helping any, the attackers can either 1.) Blow the tubes or 2.) Camp the spawns and just kill the fresh-spawns with their 'better' weapons...not to mention they probably got a few MAXs with them.

Well if they blow the tubes, then yeah that kind of spoils things. But most people seem to care more about XP so they leave the tubes.

If you deconstruct after you equip yourself, you will respawn in your full equipment. So you can storm a spawn room fully equipped.

It helps prevent the stealth hackers. Now you have to hack the cc and have the force to hold it and/or hold the spawn room.

Spawning fully loaded is a great way to deal with spawn campers, I did this a few times this weekend.

Ive seen a new strategy develop since that patch too...
To quote...."F__k the cc that isnt gonna give us crap for xp, lets camp the tubes till we kill about 100 of em then hack it, that should give us cap xp..." Heard that after spawning and getting mowed down by 6bajillion jackhammers and a equal number of maxes sitting all lined up like in the spawn room.
There really should be a 10 second immunity after spawn to prevent this kind of "strategy"
Then when me and some friends tried that some jerkoff from nc sends me a tell like im the first person that ever did this ROFL

We do except it and planned for it before the patch even came out. we have a few good suprises so bring it on :lol:

i havent been able to spawn in a hacked base...no idea why

[mistled]

I've done it by accident. I only realized the base was hacked when I ran up to the term and had to hack it to get my stuff. ;)

Hello,

Yeah, image the surprise on someone's face when a pounder comes through the spawn tube! hee hee OMG, I'd love to be there to see their face. <chuckle> This is a wonderful idea. The problem with spawning rooms is that sure you don't get experience for the new spawning people, but you do get kills racked up for it. Why shouldn't people camp them? It is a fair strategy if you ask me. Like anything else in the game, it can be cheesed to hell and back though.

I think I'm going to actually plan to do this now, and the next chance I get I'm going to bring a scatter max through a hacked tube. I'll reverse the trend and rack up some kills AND experience in return! Mu hahahahahaha....

I just wish that organizing the TR on Markov wasn't like herding cats...
