Unless your team is well and truly terrible. *laughs* I've seen teams that refuse to leave their spawnroom, even after the threat has passed. Needless to say, they get curb-stomped shortly after.Ph0t0n1c Ph34r said:

It doesn't really bother me in games where I've got a spawn immunity for a few seconds like MGO, or games with rotating spawns like COD.
But I hate it when I don't have immunity, it's such a cheap way of getting kills

The only thing worse than spawnkillers are spawnkillers with plastic explosives. They'll fuckin' plaster them all over the spawn site and get free kills while they're high and dry somewhere else. I got that done to me in HL2
M a few times, and made that guy's game miserable.
If spawnkilling means 'shooting a player right after he spawns' I do it opportunisticly, as I expect a lot of people do. Sometimes you just get two subsequent spawns and you're able to shoot the other guy in his back, or you'll pass a spawn point and gun the respawner down before he has the chance to acquire a better gun. But if it means 'waiting right next to a spawn point to shoot whoever gets out of there', then there's really no excuse for being such an ass.

Getting rez-killed in text-based MUDs is annoying as hell, mostly because of the experience loss. They try to prevent spawn killing by making it impossible for players to get into the Tree of Revival or whatever it's called, but my character was once killed, like, right outside it when I stumbled across a party from the enemy city. I had to go through the underworld again.
Whenever I spawnkill it is done unintentionally and as a matter of reflex - I see an enemy, I fire. Whenever I do so and notice so I feel the thing that I have never felt in any other situation in any other game at any other time: remorse.
That's right, I feel like a git whenever I spawnkill. When I noobtube or something it's usually in response to other noobtubers, and anyone killed in the process is merely a casualty of war, and not something to worry about. I do not mind being an arse when I plan to be an arse. When I'm an unintentional arse that's when I feel bad.
I feel like apologising to the person I've killed so rudely, if I didn't have my finely honed ignoring skills my time in the XBL community has given me prohibiting me from doing so. And so I just go on a killing spree and feel much better about it, being as much of an intentional arse as I wish.
So I say one thing to all those I've spawnkilled without meaning to, and hope that the spirit of the Escapist community will allow this message to spread to those people: sorry about that mate.
A lovely 1000th post I'd say.

I don't camp spawnpoints just to get spawnkills, but if someone spawns right in front of me, I won't hesitate to shoot them.
No, personally, I don't like it. Not only is it unfair not to even give your rivals a chance to act, but it also feels degrading towards them, as well as pissing them off, getting incredible amounts of bile, and making hosts prematurely end games.
In short we all lose. And believe to be on fire.
