I don't understand your compliant. That is the game, and you can always do the same thing back. Spawn raping is a skill in itself, and it's a large part of the fun in my opinion. As for the BFG, are you saying he shoudn't use good tactics? If there is a problem specifically, the game should be changed, but that just seems like a good tactic. The other option would probably be to take that gun out of the map/game.
I see it as playing smart, and spawn-raping is one of the most fun skillfull aspects of q2.

It takes no skill whatsoever to stand behind a spawn pad or in front of it and shoot. that's why i was a bit dissapointed in vigi winning the last ir500 because all he did was stand behind a spawn pad the whole game. it takes no skill at all. And i will also add the other day on railz both vigi, lethaman and elysium were there, and elysium was spawn raping, so vigi goes "elysium is here so i need to spawn rape" so this indicates c;learly it is alot easier to spawn rape and get a cheap frag then run freely around the map shootin at people
FFA is played to get the most frags (that's the normal objective, unless it's dm8 I usually mess around for fun myself) if you don't want to spawn rape keep losing. No problem with me.
Well that's grat you're some kind of moral warrior fighting against spawn rape, but if you have better competition, then you better do the same. Anyways, I don't see the problem here, spawn raping is an extremely fun and skillful part of the game.p.s, the skillful part comes from doing it well, and doing the same when you get your chance.

Anyways, I don't see the problem here, spawn raping is an extremely fun and skillful part of the game.Yet again, you've missed the point. Nobody was talking about spawnrape on a capable opponent in a 1v1 or team game. We were talking about spawn killing people who are standing still or afk in an FFA game, because unlike in a duel or team game, it takes NO skill. All you have to do is have a weapon, aim better than the blind, and be there when it happens.You don't even have to kill them yourself to get them to respawn. At that point it ceases being spawnrape and reverts to just being spawnkilling to boost your FPH.Anyone who is actually skilled at this game could get the fraglimit on the FFA servers without spawnkilling, even if someone else was doing it. Most frags is not the goal in an FFA game anyway. It's highest FPH. If you can't keep up a good FPH without killing people off of the spawn who aren't even moving, then you aren't skilled and your play is fucking boring.
and spawn-raping is one of the most fun skillfull aspects of q2.
i probably have a 1% chance of ever winning in duel against you
