Forgive me but I think you might have missed some huge air quotes around the word Controlling there.
"Spawn camping" was always done in degrees in PS1. From placing a boomer down the caves (which had no destroyable points) to sticking an MBT gun at a tower door to Lib'ing a base exit point to Spitfiring up an AMS bubble exit. Even with the funky one way shields I'm seeing in PS2 videos and the ability to spawn fully geared rather than a PJ run to a terminal (that might have a boomer sitting on it
) it'll happen by another degree.....perhaps. Will see.
That said, those shields will help you prepare when you're in a spawn area that has them. Depends just how big the camp is outside waiting for you.
I assume, no way to know, that there will be spawn "binding" and "decon'ing" back in PS2, as they were useful tools in PS1 to have access to.
