heyas

i come from the quake2 community, and trying to pick up on quake1
quake1s gameplay is just insanely fast compared to quake2
thats why id like to see some spawn protection on servers

i can hardly play as the good players ALWAYS know where i just spawned, as if there cheating
not saying people cheat, they obviously know the maps very well

we have alot of spawn campers in quake2, and in quake1 this is alot worse, seeing as people know where i spawn

nobody really knows, it's mostly luck and skill to fire 1 gl at a spawn and a rocket to another, then guard another spawn
this is really annoying in the beginning I know, but it's way more fun when you've played it for a whie

sound is also important in "knowing" where someone spawns. And since qw is fast, if you know where someone spawn you can get there so fast.

i am strongly against the spawn protection you're talking about (dmm4 like invulnerability)

i'm not sure how someone at the other side of the map rocketjumping his way to your side of the map where you just spawned can be considered a spawn camper

just don't play against players who are too good for you

ah you're talking about ffa

the ffa scene in qw is not nearly big enough to start talking about spawn protection imo

Xtife, you should try playing duels with people of your skill. You'll find newbs longing for battle in #qwhb on QuakeNet. The only way to become better is to practice...

Play alot of dmm4 (deathmatch mode 4) on Ktpro servers. Just enter and type /dmm4 and play with that, or you can play with just /spawn666 in order to get pent a few secs every time you spawn. You can also ask the other player to use /handicap so you can damage him more and he damage you less.

Hello, I also came here from the Quake2 community 2 years ago. I have to say, I had the same problems as you Xtife. You just have to be consistent in your will of learning the game and soon you will realise you don't need any spawn protection
