spawn squating

    Is this common? First time ever seeing it done last night while I was playing search and destroy, is this part of the game or a glitch?

    I tried everything to get out of it. Managed to kill 7 of them in one go but it was all for nothing some of the kills where after the fact.

    Is there any way out of it. I had a tommy with martyrdom and would just run at the biggest group.

    Spawn Squatting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I was playing a team game (not sure which maybe serch and destroy) All our team kept spawning in the same place. Eventually the other team pushed us back to that spawn point and just kept killing us as we spawned. They had the spot completely covered we hadn't a hope.

    you cant get 7 kills in a row in search and destory..:confused:and once you die you must wait to the next round...you cant respawn in SnD twice in one round and you must defend or destory so if your team is destorying the orther team probly wont go to your respawn because they are to busy defending the bomb target..i think you might be taking about teamdeath match...and usally if more than 50% of the orther team is in your respawn your team will move spawns....and most clan dont go staright into your spawn because they no that you will move and spawn from behind them....are you sure that they were right in your spawn are were just guarding the perimeter of your spawn

    It may have been headquaters, it could have been team deathmatch but I don't think it was. The spawn point was changing but I noticed I was getting dumped in the same spot after a while and if I didn't run straightaway someone would shot me. Then the other team surrounded that spot and shot anyone that spawned.

    Its really annoying, especially when playing "war":(

    I think its referred to as a Spawn Lock.

    The other team had you spawning in the one location by effectively (or unknowingly I bet) blocking the other spawns.

    Its a Team Deathmatch tactic. It was possible in COD4 so no reasons why its not in WaW.
    You can get the other team spawning in a certain area of the map and then cover it from various locations.

    Cool didn't know that

    You find clans doing this quite a bit on COD4, can't stand it.
    I've played COD5 for only bit mainly cause I haven't bothered buying it as I still love COD4. But I never play standard teamdeathmatch cause they are most common on that.

    old post

    but the worst i have ever see was Sabotage on map Crash

    All spawned in a small room with Two guys from some clan who just blocked the door ,Friendly fire was off so couldnt kill them , Full server. must have been 15 guys in the room , There Clan mate on the opposition side , runs up and drops two Nades into the room , ...........Log off after that but man that was just cruel

    lol, totally off topic but somewhat similiar to what JoeFace said about lame low clans.
    Was playing on their server, hardcore,*cringe*, yes I know, anyway raping them to **** being accused of cheating so the only way they could kill me was to get one of their clan members on my team to drop a nade beside me, then quickly go into spectate so the nade would kill me.
    Took me awhile to figure out how I was dying, thinking of it now lol probably one of the lowest clans I played against.
