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 LOLdragon89: 9/7/2014 4:30:00 AMIdeally, spawn trapping is something that can only be accomplished by a relatively well-coordinated team, or a team that simply outnumbers the force that is getting spawn-trapped. If spawn trapping is too easy, I think it's more a product of poor map design than the skill or lack thereof of the players involved. My favorite online game right now is PlanetSide 2, and spawn trapping is a fact of life in that game. The objective of the attackers is not just to capture points in bases and infiltrate bases properly, but to essentially spawn-trap the defending team inside their spawn building, which requires a lot of work on the part of the attackers, and requires the attackers to constantly suppress the defenders in order to win. It takes a certain level of coordination and skill for the attackers to pull off, although overwhelming numbers almost always helps. In PlanetSide 2, I don't consider this to be poor map design, just a part of the game.
