Spawn campers

Few things in life are less enjoyable than respawning in a multiplayer game only to get slaughtered the second you come back to life. There's a special place in hell for spawn campers, the folks who somehow derive joy from pitching a tent right outside a spawn point, guns drawn, waiting for some poor sap to come back to life. And as your lifeless virtual corpse falls down for the tenth time, adding to the ever-expanding pile of bodies at your feet, you disconnect from the server out of sheer anger. It's alright, we've all been there.
