Cpo64 | 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 you pick off someone who's going to refill in the middle of a fight, that is entirely fair. I know in most sniper servers it's against the rules to refill during battle. In AOW, it's exactly that, AOW. If you get killed while trying to refill, that's your own fault for stopping.

I agree, if you get killed while refilling then you deserve to die because:
1.) Refilling in a fight isn't exactly fair to the person you're fighting against
2.) You shouldn't be killed if you know how to refill quickly, i.e. press E then 5
I agree tha spawnkilling is when you are killed right after you re-spawn. Spawn killing is okay with me, even though it is not fair to the person being killed. If I am killed before I can react them it's my own dumb luck. I show no mercy and do not expect to recieve any.

I think people should stop worrying so damn much about fair. Just kill the mother fucker, as long as you're not cheating who cares if its fair. In Renegade certain advantages are given to people based on location and character class, it isn't supposed to always be fair. The only exception to this IMO is not shooting at someone who isn't a sniper on sniper servers. But if he so much as fires a shot - kill the mother fucker.
I don't want to see this game turn into JK2, where people get pissed if you don't bow before you slice their head off. I get tired of being bitched at because I don't follow some assholes rules of engagement on an AoW server, if you're pissed about being killed then hunt the guy down and kill him. Don't whine like a bitch.

I agree with that ^^ above.
The rules on MY sniper server are simple and easy to enforce. Yes, you can refill during battle, but spawn killing is OK. Simply put, being able to refill offsets the risk of spawn killing.
I agree that both tactics can be seen as "cheap", but I prefer my rules to be cut and dry. It's very hard to explicitly define spawn killing to an easy yes or no answer.
I'm the bawss.

Rules are rules. If the server owner doesn't want spawn killers then you either respect that rule or you leave. Simple as that. There is no right or wrong answer on spawn killing. Mine is no spawn killing and crimson's is allowed. Are either of us wrong? No. That's the beauty of this game. You can have several sniper server with different rules. It gives varity to the game. If we had 20 servers with the same exact rules this game would get boring fast.
So like I said... If you don't like the rules leave. Because your complaints about how lame, unfair or n00bish the rules are will fall on deaf ears and in most cases get you kicked.
