Please define spawn killing... i've been playing the game for YEARS and someone ingame just questioned against my opinion.
Situation is... a sniping game, can't remember the server, but the player in question is fr0chin.
One rifle infantry guy was inside the refinery, when i opened the doors he's standing in the centre of the building looking in my general direction. So i take aim, then ramjet him in the head. After which, he moans that i spawn killed him. He obviously had time to walk around his buildling.
In my opinion, for spawn killing you have to still be facing the PT, without moving away from where you respawned.
Who agrees with my logic here?

Spawn killing is when you kill someone practically right when they respawn so they don't even have a second to react.
I agree with your definition of spawn killing.

I define spawn killing as killing someone who just spawned before he could move. I don't do it in sniping games, but in regular games if I just managed to slip into an enemy building and are defending a beacon or something then I'm not going to wait until he has the chance to kill me.

If it's a sniper game then, why would you need to go into the enemy buildings ffs ??
|
As GDI hidding in the hand can be fun, because you can shoot out through the windows.
As for the other buildings its not so much of an advantage but it can be useful simply to make it difficult for the enemy to know where your shots are comming from.
Personally I don't have a problem with killing or being spawn killed as long as the player isn't camping specifically for that purpose.

Spawn killing is just something whiny people say when they get whacked and it makes them sad.
Getting spawn killed is annoying, but it's not going to ruin your gaming experience or melt your CPU or anything.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Spawnkills are extremely annoying, but unavoidable sometimes...when you're placing the game-winning C4/Beacon, the last thing you want to do is give the bad guy a fair chance to kill you, especially if they pop up right near you. In that case, it's acceptable- except, of course, on a server that does not allow base killing.
However, if you're just doing it for the whole game with the intent of racking up a high score on people who can't fight back (hey, people play the game to PLAY it, not to spend the entire game waiting to respawn again), then you need to find a game dedicated to doing just that- I suggest the old NES game "Duck Hunt."
Typekilling- you type at your own risk, no sympathy there. If you want to type in a safe place, truck your butt on back to your own base, get in as a passenger in a vehicle, something...just don't stand there playing target practice, or someone is going to pop your head like a cheap balloon. Find a safer place to do it- or better yet, don't talk at all, since if you're dumb enough to stand out in the open typing a rant, you're too dumb to speak coherently anyway.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

spawn kills are annoying to me...in some cases...it's necessary. If it isn't necessary, then let the guy live until he at least turns around and can try to fight back. as for type kills...they don't really bother me...if i get shot while typing...i'll be like "dammit...type kill" and then I'll get back to the game and play. no need to make a big deal about it...just let the guy know that he got lucky that you weren't paying attention.

What about someone who your are fighting, they run to the PT to refill, and you kill them before they have the chance to finish? is that fair?
----
When I am snipeing I only get kills from people who are typeing, other snipers who are moveing slowly, or not at all. Enginers who are reparing and not danceing around. My FPS and mouse are not good enough to hit a target who is in motion, altho once and a while I do get lucky.
