Spawn trapping- Legit tactic or cheating?
Was playing a game of BF3 on Grand Bazaar, Rush. They destroyed one of the things so we had to defend the other one, and it was at stage 1.
We managed to pin them down right at their spawn which was directly down the street from the station, and as soon as they left they were assaulted by a hail of gunfire, grenades and mortar fire of all classes.
Do you see spawn trapping as a cheap tactic, or a good display of teamwork and using the environment to your advantage?

Edited by DMMetalaane: 4/3/2013 2:19:27 AMIt's completely legit to use what's in game to win, no matter what it is. Being able to do this, however, is a symptom of bad map design. It's kind of like, I dunno, using the Boltshot. Good players use Boltshots, because it's what gets the kills...but that doesn't mean the weapon isn't broken. It also isn't skillful to spawn trap and then proceed to spawn camp. I want to say spawn trapping is skillfull whilst spawn camping is not, but since spawn trapping is the absolute control of the other team is order to begin spawn camping, they go hand in hand. Positioning your reticle over where an enemy will spawn and proceeding to hit them with a one hit kill weapon like a sniper rifle takes absolutely no skill, out of context of other things, anyway.
