To all, anyone that plays W@W, regularly, will agree that there has been an increase in "Intentional" spawn killing. This is having a detrimental effect on the game experience of those that play BK's most popular and supported game.
"Intentional" spawn killing uses the current rule ( Only run to avoid direct fire or nades ) against the spawning player, specifically - the spawning player is shot dead the moment they spawn, never having a fair and reasonable chance of playing and enjoying the game as intended by the BK W@W rules.
I suggest the following rule be implemented specifically to W@W - "Spawning" players may run to NEAREST cover.
This rule is a simple resolution and will be very easy to moderate (No harder than moderating any running player) Â
As this is an issue and rule specific to members that play W@W I ask that this suggested rule be put to a vote by members that actually play W@W as they have an understanding of the impacts decisions and rules will have on this particular game.
COD WaW
Rule 1 - Running when under fire.
Running is only allowed when you are under fire OR TO NEAREST COVER FROM SPAWN. We do allow people to walk with sights up. If you`re being shot at, or if a grenade lands at your feet, then you can certainly run for cover.
For your consideration and action,

I think running on spawn to cover is the wrong way to handle this. I know spawn killing is not against the rules but let me give Makin Day as one example;
1. Players on spawning lie down in spawn & snipe the opposing spawn so they can not get out of it. (we as members should be setting an example & leaving spawn)
2. Temple side at big rock on the river trail I have witnessed BK members & guests fighting over this spot & spawn killing so the opposing team is trapped in spawn. (when I see someone at a spot I move on not try & push my way into it)
3. Number 2 above makes players lie down in the spawn so they do not die right off the bat & it just becomes a long range sniping match between the teams. (this is real frustrating when you try & flip the spawn & you keep getting sent back to spawn)
The real culprit here is spawn killing & some BK members not setting a good example in fair game play. I have also noticed BK members switching teams during a match to be on the winning team in all of our games that we play. (I never rage quit but this one has really pushed my buttons lately & causing me to leave some BF4 & BOP's matches because the teams are so lopsided.)
We can fix a lot of this without any rule change by just setting a good example & using good sportsmanship.
1.In BOP's don't pick a team use the auto assign feature & do not switch during the match. If you want to play on the same team family member or a friend or guest just ask someone in TS to swap with you.
2. The same thing in BF4 you just need to communicate in TS before you choose a side or just use auto assign. Ask other members what team in the game needs a player before you join & if you want to be on someone's team ask another member to switch.
3. We can start forming squads in W@W & get back to flipping the spawn to get rid of the spawn killers without changing any rules. (Too many lone wolfs can ruin a game, lets be a team again)
4.I think pistol walking is a culprit in this too. I mean we are a crouch to move clan not a walking clan & I think having this rule just encourages more rule violations. A crouched player is at a big disadvantage to a standing or walking player in my opinion. If we can afford another server maybe we could use one for crouch & one for pistol walking for a testing period.
We control our own destiny here guys & a lot of this can be solved without any major rule changes by just communicating with each other & being a good sport. We can tell when someone in TS is getting frustrated because of what is occurring in a game. We need to check the team balance during a match if there is no auto balance working & voluntarily switch to make it even again. It is not all about winning a game it is having fun with friends & that is what it is all about. We need to get back to that & not keep changing any rules.

This horse has been beatin so bad all you guys are just kicking bones around now. That being said, you joined BK knowing the rules of the servers. You don't join to change them. Sorry but again no rules will change nor will new ones be written. I suggest you all just enjoy the game while it's still around.
