Why do people try to justify spawn killing and spawn trapping so much?

Just curious.

  • If someone is good enough to manipulate your team and drive them back into the spawns to slaughter you all, you've been outplayed plain and simple.

  • I occasionally go into Halo 5 Grifball and assassinate people as they spawn, but I only do it once or twice. People who say "Oh, but the military does stuff like that" as a response to spawn camping and regular camping don't seem to get the premise of a [i]game[/i].

    • Because we all used to be there. Know what I did? I went from being a rank 35 in h3 to getting multiple 50s arena onyx in reach. The top 1 percent in btb. Top 150 in Swat and Ffa in h5. Top 1000 in the world for reach 50 in Canada and top 5 in Canada for H5 and number 1 canada FFA. You either complain about being less skilled. Or you do what I did watch videos meet better players and prove your worth.

    • Because it pads their KD? I've not run into many bona fide skilled spawn trappers anyway, I've usually been able to break the trap on the occasions I've experienced it.

      Multiplayer is shit, that's why. Can't get spawn trapped or cheated by lag on single player because someone had a better internet connection.

      • There is no justification, they just enjoy point and click adventures over winning the objective. Watch their reactions over a single loss in neutral and you'll see what sort of person they are.

        • Its kinda fun to do it for like 30 seconds but people making a living off it ruin the game.

            Don't be bad and learn spawns. You'll never get trapped again.

            • Camping Spawn killing Vehicle theft Are all fine, if you are playing competitive multiplayer games you should understand this. Glitching through walls and on top of places is not however. You getting absolutely annihilated in "cheap" ways usually is you and your own teams fault

              • I think the majority of people who think getting out of spawn killing don't get that the other team "kills you right when you spawn" you can't get out of getting spawn killed all the time. You can't use the "get gud" argument, since most of the time you don't have time to react, you can't "get gud". Spawn killing is a tactic, but a cheap one. Spawn killing to me is like using health spells in an honor duel in Dark Souls.

                  • It doesn't need justified. It's part of the game. Don't get dominated and it's not an issue.

                    • Nothing to justify. Don't suck and it's not a problem. If you're playing with shityy randoms against a stacked team, that sucks, but it's your fault, not theirs. They can't spawn trap if you actually kill them. I was spawn trapped a ton in Reach, but getting free is pretty easy. Just kill them. It's not like they can spawn assassinate you repeatedly.

                      • There's nothing to "justify". It's a legitimate tactic, so get over it...

                        • I got a feeling this is what happens when people care about their kdr more than there actual skill in a game cause its all about how many you killed not how you killed them

                          • The only time I don't condone it is when it happens as a result of poor map design, game mechanics, or anything else that is beyond the players control.

                          • Spawn trapping is fair game since it usually requires one team to have superior coordination over the other. In some cases when spawn trapping occurs due to flawed game design, then sure it sucks, but I believe it's still fair.

                          • There are 2 situations here under the spawnkilling/trapping umbrella. > Set spawns exploit This is like Reach, old Halos, Battlefields, and other older shooters. Players have a set in stone spawn point. If players camp it with vehicles, power weps, snipers, etc, that is just plain pathetic and low. This gives the others little to zero chance to do anything to turn it around. > Random spawn kills Cod in general has this. Spawns flip to another part of a map, and a guy pops up in front of you. Reaction says shoot. This fashon is not forced purposeful spawn killing. Now you can force flip a spawn, but it can still be unpredictable. In no way do I support forced killing. Sometimes it is an accident, okay. You will never see me with a team killing another off spawn. Frankly, I will take the betrayal kick or hate in an attempt to free the others than participate. My old team of 2 used to be an anti spawn kill strike force in Invasion or BTB in Reach a while ago.
