well with individual weapon switch it will be possible to use a variety of weapons without spam occuring.
best way for spam to not happen is for people not to keep pounding the same spot with a bfg and rocket and perhaps even set anticamp up to combat this??
if someone keeps pounding a point on a map with bfg or nades you dont exactly move there do you - go round the back, and dont forget im talking on 1v1 not dm so maps are
generaly smaller and you usualy know where opponent is.

@tartaros: will check it out.

what im refering to in t1 is the folling scenario often seen on public servers.

lamer gets one frag.
lamer goes to the room with only one entry.
lamer spams the entry point.
good players only chance to get him is to use a bfg slide with multijumping to get over the spam.

and there is no camp protection that can stop that, the room is too big...

so basically just cos removing multi-jumps would lead to huge spamming (which already occurs btw) which will occur because uve provided people with a vastly unbalanced, completely senseless weapon system with amazingly low switchtimes, u choose to stick with multijumps as the lesser of 2 evils am i right?

foksie on a serious note i disagree with the way u glorify bfg slides. theyre fun and all that but in most tactical situations, the finer points of bfg slides are basically useless, unless ur playing ctf. while its true that people often use bfg slides to gain positional advantage over the enemy, it's just as true that the end result of the bfg slide (with or without multijumps) is very easy to predict so if ur playing against a half decent enemy, any positional advantage u get throught execing the slide is mostly insignificant anyway.

however, i do agree that removing multijumps alone mite not solve all the spamming problems. but then the spamming isnt caused by the multijumps (arguing it is, is about the funniest thing ive ever heard in a long time).
