I don't come across fantastic shots too often, and even when I take some in game, weeding through them later, I find them to be not as interesting, or only cool in the moment, so I don't post them.
I wonder if I eat your brain, will I become as smart as you?
Like I devour your essence like Illidan consuming the Skull of Gul'dan and thus becoming vastly powerful than my previous self.

Aw man, whatever happened to that?!
I really really wanted it to be a series.
I know, it makes me sad that its single episode resides somewhere in the depths of the Sci-fi channel with all of its terrible movies and cheesy sci-fi dramas. Sniff.
i have a feeling jon does shit like that for a living
It is one of the minor duties of my job. The bulk of my workday consists of reading these forums, explaining technical details that no one cares to know about to people, and keeping my utilities for the other admins up to date.
any time people spawn camp at the expense of completing the goal of the map, then it stops being ok. this is not deathmatch.
if the defending team has the opportunity to stop the opposing team at their spawn, then they are completing their goal most of the time. on maps like gold rush and dbheights, it's pretty much necessary for the offense to 'camp' the spawn for the final push. going in to camp the spawn point with an uber (just to avoid getting killed by the sentries guarding the point) and then camping the door without making an effort to actually break the defense is not the same however and that's the only time since i've been playing regularly that i've had to tell people to stop spawn camping.
I'm sorry, this logic fails.
On any type of map, camping the enemy spawn helps the team, no matter where or when it is happening.
Defend/Attack -
Defense camping the spawn = Fewer attackers going for goal means weaker attack front. Valid Tactic.
Offense camping the spawn = Weaker defense front and easier to cap point/move cart. Valid Tactic.
Point capture -
Fewer enemies at battle front = Easier time moving forward/capping. Valid Tactic.
Flag capture.
This is the only time one could say that there is any moment where camping a spawn is useless. But whenever a flag is in play, spawn camping can mean the difference between a cap and a retrieval.
Also, this tactic isn't easy to achieve, nor possible to prolong unless backed by heavy forces. Even then it can be broken relatively easily.
It's like in chess when an opponent's pawn reaches your starting line and it turns into a Queen. It was hell getting the pawn there and now you have to deal with the consequences.

i guess if you assume that entire teams die en masse that makes sense.
the best was on gravelpit last night. I was defending, and someone said there was a spy around spawn or something like that, so I headed back to spawn. It's there that I find a heavy just standing infront of the spawn with his gun revved and a scout standing next to the door, probably planning on killing whoever got the heavy. Well I backburn the heavy, killing him in a few seconds, and then make short work of the scout.
I didn't recognize the name of the guy who was playing heavy, but it didn't really matter because he changed it to "backburner is for faggots".
The entire team doesn't have to die to make a difference. One spy can make a difference, as I'm sure you all have experienced repeatedly by now. :P
also, your post didn't actually counter what i said. the one example that i brought up as having an objection to, they didn't do anything other then repeatedly annoy 2-3 people at the spawn. there was no tide turning. the rest of their team was languishing well back against the 9-10 people alive on defense (three of them being the engineers for the sentries not being attacked by the pyro/medic. as you know, the second point placement for sentries on part two of dbheights is feet from the spawn. the pair had no intention of helping their team turn the tide or actually killing any defensive targets. they ignored the goal to point whore.
if there was a single spawn ctf map and one team managed to get 11 people to camp it and 1 to capture intel, no problem. 12 people camping it with no attempt to capture the intel, problem.

The internet and college are the best places to change your personality.
Unfortunately, I don't think I ever did.

Internet, I suppose because it is currently the quickest and most free way to disseminate ideas and opinions. It also allows you to like post the most disgusting shit ever.
It sticks to the original storyline of the heavy and how he escaped the gulags and sought a better life in the grim setting of Hell's Kitchen 1950, where, pretending to be a Soviet Jew, he became fascinated with large guns after shooting someone with a quadbarreled pistol-shotgun
Marty you are credit to team, how did you get to be so excellently crazy?
I got this from that terrible Nicolas Cage film, Lord of War. It is trbl beyond belief

Clearly someone hasn't had the enemy put up a couple of quick lv3 sentries in their well attic, backed by a pair of soldiers. Congratulations, you've pretty much lost!

I remember doing that not too long ago. The other team just couldn't manage to destroy the whole base at once, so we just kept rebuilding over and over again.
Uber a pyro, maget. Takes but two people stuck in spawn to make it happen.
I actually don't know how I feel about spawn camping. It's annoying, sure, but is usually pretty easy to stop in this game. I suppose I currently have no issues with it.
