Spawnkilling.... or not?

Postby Bigredone » Sat Jan 31, 2009 20:32

Hello M8s, i just got kicked for Spawnkilling..however...im not sure i did.

The Thing is, i play as Axis (panzer) on Oasis , i shoot at second allied spawn after wall is blown but i dont shoot into spawn , i shot in front of exit .
Imo there are two exits n this spawn so i was told by one admin if spawn have more than one exit its NO spawnkilling (look at Goldrush axis second spawn).
However i think one admin says its SK and the other says its NO SK...
Help me plz.... im confused...

Here is the thing regarding Panzer.
It has splash damage, meaning that when you shoot it damages an area of a few cubic meters.

That means even if you shoot at the front passage of the exit the fire/damage of the rocket will still reach into the spawn causing spawnkilling.

I hope you understand. :)

I understand the answer, however this is NOT written in the PS rulebook, there it only is written its NOT allowed to shoot straight into spawn unless the spawn is to be captured even then its not allowed with heavy weapon.

And thats the issue, i didnt fire straight into spawn (even wont fire a panzer there anymore after this discussion)

And then there is this rule about one or more exits?

in that case it rly was spawnkill
you shot right to the door and the flashdamage killed ppl outsidespawn just, exiting spawn AND inside spawn. this is bit different case than goldrush, because the exits are different. in goldrush there is corner between spot that ppl shoot and spawn. so flashdamage wont do any harm in spawn. at oasis there is nothing between place you shoot and spawn, so ppl die... in spawn too...
so always think that explosin weapons can kill ppl, even if you dont direcly shoot at them :wink:

Rulebook wrote:Killing the enemy in his own Spawn (the players' starting locations) is NOT allowed and is considered Spawnkilling (SK), this includes; walking into enemy spawn, shooting into enemy spawn from a distance.

This rule applies to ALL weapons!

Spawnkilling is a serious offence and will most likely result in a warn (!warn, !burn, !gib) possibly followed by a kick, temporary ban or permanent ban (depending on the situation).

Deliberately hanging around (also known as Camping) Enemy spawn and/or your own spawn is NOT allowed and is considered Spawncamping (SC). SC will result in a warn (!warn, !slap, !burn, !fling, !throw, !gib) depending on the situation.

SK & SC with heavy weapons (mortar, panzer, flamer, airstrikes, artillery etc.) is FORBIDDEN!

Exceptions
The SK rule does not apply to capturable spawns, such as flags or commandposts. As long as you are trying to (re)capture the spawn ONLY light weapons (SMG, knife, handgun, grenades etc.) are allowed!

Note
Sniping and shooting (for example; Rifle Nades) into a capturable spawn from a distance is considered SK or even SC, since you are not trying to (re)capture the spawn yourself (i.e. not moving forward)!


Well maybe forgot to add but when u stand in spawn and some mortar came by and killed u into spawn even its not target front of spawn but near then its SK even however u got Splathsdamaged in spawn

hope u find your answer here
its simple rifle panzer arty airstrike mortar flame all disallow on capture flags and even the official spawns.
