Balcony camping, is it SC?

[Nabil]

i say no on the balcony, clearly thats because i always kill them even from the spawn.
for Soda, if you mean that little hole, than no. If you mean the big one, I say no too cause most people kill/snipe on the doorway/stairs and not the spawn

 

[TheDude]

One can spawnrape if they want to from the balcony. Through the wall to the hallway, the left and right spawns under the balcony. It is a matter of timing it. The sniper house is easy to avoid. While I wouldn't call hanging on the balcony spawncamping in every case, i do have a problem with people lying to themselves in saying it isn't one of the obvious ways to rack up easy kills (some of them being spawnkills, sometimes intentionally). To say that you CAN'T spawnrape from up there with minimal effort is also just plain wrong.

I did not vote because the OP and question were too vague.

You mean " old school mod" AVC, lol, i hated that


As long as you're not sitting in one place, i would say no

theres actually 4 spawn points you can get from the balcony, but the last one kinda went away as we moved to 1.7

No Cent. I mean in the days of Quake or Duke Nukem, when there were maybe 10 or 12 weapons available and you could actually carry all of them if you picked them up. I think Soldier Of Fortune started the Carry-only-primary-and-seconday weapons system.

Those games were primarily designed for Single Player though, against many, many enemy. Imagine a game of COD where you could spam 20 nades out of a nade launcher, then follow it up with 10 rockets in a row. Lol

Please say it isn't cause I was winning several of my first matches by running around up there. It made my very happy.

You can defiantly spawn camp up there. But legit spawn campers would pick an easier place. I hate camping altogether but the balcony is the center of the map with a clear defense and position that happens to be near spawns below. If you look over and see someone spawn thats fine by me if you kill them immediately. But if you WAIT for people to spawn that shouldn't be allowed.

But I'm still sorta a noob, thats just my opinion.

That spot isn't spawn camping i mean come on, there's only one visible spawn from the balcony that's the spawn at the stairs leading up. I don't get why anyone would have a problem with someone being up there. throw a stun and a nad problem solved.

 

[TheDude]

Stun fraggin annoying as shit. So is dealing with balcony campers. There are at least 3 spawns you can rape from there. I thought you'd know that. Not saying it's spawn camping, just that it is possible to.

i have to agree wth the it isnt. Seeing how its like my fav spot =]

Seriously, four entrances, three spawns, there aint no way you can stay there beyond 15 kills before getting shot

 

[TheDude]

If anyone good is on, there isn't anywhere you can just stay for 15 kills and not get shot.


Everything kinda leads to the balcony, though.

Actually voodoo, I've stayed up there for over 25 killsteak before. That was my one of my best bitch-streak i've ever had. And on a good day I'm not lagging, I'm pretty sure I can stay for over 15 kills easily.

When I get killed by someone in a place like that, it is my mission until i see them killed in the killfeed or i kill them to seek them out and kill them. IDK if this is how you guys play. I do see a lot of people who get killed by campers and they just keep on running their regular routes, trying to get as many kills as possible, disregarding the fact that they were just camped out. That seems boring to me. So if i get balcony killed, it's my mission to remove the noob from the balcony until he is removed by someone else or i get him.

exactly my playin' style TD... lol
