Have you noticed a few losers killing the game?

I was off BA for a while and now that I am playing again I am seeing a trend where it is harder and harder to find a team conquest or retrieval game without at least 2-3 people that just sit and spawn camp. There where two kids last night doing that and when we switched to a map that they didn't know one of them switched teams to learn where the spawn was and then went back with his buddy on the next game to camp there.

We did have the last laugh though. One game was 7 on 2 (everyone on their team got sick of it too and joined against them) and after getting their butts handed to them they left crying.

I kinda hope they do an ELO reset when the patch comes out. I was at 1300 last night when I joined the game and left at 960. Of course on the flip side that would suck for all of the people that are playing fair.

Add me to your list and play in the games that the DDC or fellow XBA'ers get into when I host - mostly Retrieval on Cafe, Airport, or other fair-spawned maps so that campers get booted if they do it more than 2x. Yea, annoying as hell tho, but PA explains it best -

Cool, I do that. Maybe I can actually get a chance to improve at the game while getting schooled by you guys too :)

yea, its preety sad. i usually just dont respawn or leave..

I made the mistake late last night to venture out and play a retrieval game with total strangers. I never really have seen spawn camping in BA because I play all the time with people I know. But believe it or not, I got claymored on a respawn. Twice.
The minute I popped up, someone detonated a preplanted claymore. Kind of ingenious if you think of it, but pretty ****ty to pad your stats with free kills like that.
That's what it all boils down to. It's about padding your stats.

That's why I have no respect for any XBox Live stats....Just look at the kid that for the first two or three weeks of ESPN NFL 2K5 had somewhere around 200 wins, 400-600 points for, 0 points against and like 2 total hours played....hmm, can you say two XBox live accounts?

Yeah on the first RS3, the number one adverserial leader has thousands of kills, very few deaths and an off the chart ELO.
Pretty much the entire Live stat system should be ignored.

But then the time I got 25th place in a week on Unreal Championship would be void. And it was posted on Xbox.com, I'm so proud of it!!! (I played that game to death that week)

some levals it most be done like in the nuke plant the one transmitter thats in their spawn you can't get it unless you get one guy to spawn camp while another gets the transmitter, you can't nail it without doing it. if they relocated the transmitters this would not be so bad.

[jschelm]

Well, thanks to the invites from some of you XBA guys I have decided that there are people that you can enjoy a good game of Total Conquest with.

Or for a good time you can watch Olaf and his M16 get spanked by a pea shooter!
