normandy spawn camping

[omarrrrrrrrrrrrr 745]

isn't it the time for serious map redesign for normandy map specially in arcade ? the east side can easily spawn camp the other team from the point A i guess, even with spawn protection u won't be able to cross to get beyond spawn

Not just Normandy, virtually every map needs a makeover and we also need dozens of new maps to fight the boredom of the same handfull of maps over and over and over.

 

As for Normandy, it can be an issue, but i regularly take out 1-2 snipers at A before the protection is over and then pop smoke. Another issue is, so many players dont use the maps and keep using the same small corridor. It can be risky yes, but hardly anyone uses grids D and E (south part of the map all the way to that big hangar) to approach A and snipe back. Or simply forget about the town center and push A hard from the start. As soon as you cap A from the west spawn 9 out of 10 the other team starts to panick and rush back to cap A forgetting about the rest. You do need 3-4 tanks though, you cant hold it on your own or with just 2 unless the other team is really bad or the RNG is totally on your side.

It's not just Normandy, there are many maps that are even worse, such as 38th Parallel. It's possible to be spawn-sniped literally about 30 seconds into the game. That flat out shouldn't be possible. Playing high tiers especially with it is a real chore, when everybody has guns that are powerful enough to kill tanks from those ranges, from their spawn to yours.

You do know you can shoot back ? I frequently get a kill on a wanna be spawn sniper on A when I spawn on the flatland side.

Usually there's a simple solution - Leave spawn.

Moving targets are harder to hit. Also, on every map, flanking to put pressure on the enemy from multiple directions is key, which should be done as soon as possible. The more time that is wasted on other things, the more time the enemy have to advance.

I think it does need to be re-looked at. If you spawn on the east side, just sit on the protected hill below the church and you can spawn camp all the way to an easy victory. If you're on the west side, people have to push the (C) point on east's side in order to mitigate spawn camping and a potential loss. The whole field outside the city needs to be re-evaluated.
