Cheating Or Tactic?

Endless · 2003-07-01, 01:36 AM

I'll get straight to the point. I'm at some area on some continent and i get killed. I spawn in a nearby base to find it's bein spawn camped by Barnies. So... i spawn in a nearby tower and grab me a MAX suit, deconstruct myself, and reconstruct inside said base, and run amok( which didn't last too long, god i hate lancers). One of the guys i killed says he reported me for cheating, and quickly put me on his ignore list, just as i had the perfect thing to say. I doubt he even reported me, if he even knows how, and if he did, i don't think anything will happen. But do you think this was a cheap move, or an intelligents tactic, or somewhere in that grey area??

ok so guy was spawn camping which in itself can be considered lame even though i will do it too when hacking a base. Yet you who brillantly decided to fight back in the appropiate way were accused of being lame and cheating?

I'd not worry too much about it.

aint breaking any rules, that is smart wat ya did......now i think i'm gona do that next time theres a shitload of nc with jackoffers.

deconstruct? reconstruct??? I MUST KNOW!!!

Fire_Monkey · 2003-07-01, 03:13 AM

yeah, the guy was probably some noob...i spawn DC maxes and reconstruct inside their base all the time

Thats a great idea! I never thought of that.

Even I as Vanu admit thats TOTALLY OK.

Though if I were you just /appeal him for harrassing.

Hello,

I'm getting used to this tactic by now, and I see maxes come through the spawn tubes while we have a hack often. We just have more people with more firepower waiting. Instead of holding a gauss, half of us are holding decimators! A TR max came through once yesterday, and it died in 2 seconds flat with only three campers.

Now that people can spawn at a hacked base, spawn camping the room is completely reasonable. What's the alternative? Let them have control of the room, re-equip, and take the hack back?

;-)

Yea, its not lame to camp the spawn anymore, or you'll just let all these guys equip themselves and resecure, spawn camping is just part of the game now - its just defending a hack

I'd say its more lame to just respawn right in a camped spawn room. n00bs do that, while you did the correct, skillful thing.

Thats a Valid Tactic, People just don't have the intellegence to realize what you are doing, and how you've done it.

I think I may have seen you do it at one point, you play NC on Konried?

someone asked this exact same question on the official forums, and they even got a spork response. design team says this is a perfectly valid tactic. one that they purposely planned as possible.

I was just about to echo what SumYungGui said... Spork said it was a-ok to do, they have no plans to change it.

More then likely he did not understand that you can spawn elsewhere then deconstruct, he thought you just spawned in a MAX suit somehow.

Legal, and smart to boot. Are you sure you're TR?
