I Don't Even Own The Game, But This Is An Insult to Online Gaming
I saw that a little while ago. The fact that those guys didn't throw the controllers at the wall and destroy their xbox make me believe it's fake.

"You know MW2 has things like this too? "
Things like standing directly behind a spawn point while mashing the melee button and raking up kills? Nope. Sure in MW2 in some specific circumstances a team can be spawn trapped, but you will be hard pressed to find a online shooter where some form of a spawn exploit doesn't exist. Spawn camping in Blops is as easy as walking into the enemy teams spawn area and throwing a Tactical Insertion behind a wall and you're set. On Summit I would average 40 kills a game on Demolition using that exploit. It was fun, but it sucks.
Lets hate things because they are popular and disregard that there are such things as opinions but instead force our own thoughts on others for they are wrong.
ive heard of a spawn trapping video where the score was like 200-1 or something and the dude kept knifing the same spot over and over again. ive stopped playing this game after a few weeks online
" Lets hate things because they are popular and disregard that there are such things as opinions but instead force our own thoughts on others for they are wrong. "Please tell me how a game that allows you to spawn trap a team with no balancing agent whatsoever is not fundamentally broken.
The spawn system is flawed. Everyone knows that. Regardless of that, the video itself is boosted.
I personally have no trouble with playing the game legit, and if anything, I STILL prefer it over Modern Warfare 1 & 2 as well as World at War. The only thing better is Call of Duty 2, and trying to find any kid nowadays that can even comprehend why that game is the vastly superior game in the franchise is almost impossible.

"Dude, i totally agree about Call of Duty 2. I loved the hell out of that game.
And really the spawn system is the only major flaw in Black Ops. Its a ton of fun otherwise.
There are plenty of videos online proving that one to be fake.
Still, it's pretty fucking ridiculous that you can stand behind a spawn point and knife dudes ad infinitum.
And that's why I only play search or wager matches. They each have their own share of griefing, but at least in those cases its avoidable by just being better.
Either way, the spawn system is incredibly flawed, and at times (as in that video) entirely broken. It sucks, but I wouldn't hold out for a total revamp of the spawn system.

The instant that video started and I saw the entire team running right down center, I immediately realized that it was fake. Did a little more YouTubin' and came across this as well. The entire video is pretty interesting, but if you want to get at the most important stuff, just skip to 6 minutes. It's really retarded of people to make fake videos in Black Ops simply because Theater Mode is so open and public. Anyone can catch you slipping like that!

Because BF has such great spawning.

Like any spawn killing in any game it's a rare occurance and 90% of the matches you play you won't have this happen. But most people seem to think BF is immune to extreme cases of spawn killing like this when clearly it is not. In fact BC2 was one the worst online shooters for spawn camping; to the point where it was common to end a game with the other, or your team trapped in their spawn. It happened a lot.

Never in that specific spawn point as shown in the video, but on that same map on the other teams spawn point where they have to pass through a choke point to exit their spawn it was fairly easy to spawn kill. Just sit on the other side with ammo boxes down and grenade launchers ready and go to work. It didn't happen every game, but it happened enough to the point where I had a spot I liked to sit at while 'nading the choke point. It was rare to join a game of Rush on Atacama Desert without having four tanks and two choppers in your spawn raining down death. I could join a game of Atacama Desert right now and probably be placed on a team trapped in their spawn." @Potter9156 said:

Spawn camping is possible on any BC2 map, just those two in particular are the worst for it.
That one map is crap anyways. Im happy harvest is one of the VIP maps.

BC2 can pretty bad. In fact, it can be much worse than Blops, because blops at least has multiple spawn points for everything but CTF, Demo, and Sabotage. I've played Vietnam exclusively so far, and it gets pretty bad. One Hill 137 match my teammates and I just sat down below the enemy's main spawn point (we'd captured all the control points) with sniper rifles and repeatedly murdered them over and over again until the match ended. It was pretty much a slaughter.
I've been on the receiving end as well, unable to get out of the spawn without dying.
Spawns are usually fine for me, wager matches have an odd system. You spawn close to your killer, and everyone knows it now, so you either have a jump on your killer (rarely) or they can kill you easily (most of the time).
Why so much hate for Blops? It is not the perfect game but the spawn system is not as nearly as bad as mentioned. I had way more frustations about spawning in BCBF2 than Blops.
