Question about HQ map games.

Heya Folks..

I got a question concerning the spawning of the HQ. IS it Random or does it follow a pre set order concerning what location it will spawn at next?

THe reason I ask is i noticed players loitering around buildings away from the action then noticing the new spawnd HQ being capped fairly quickly.

I think it's random, but there's a select few places it can spawn.

Basically, once you learn the select few places it will spawn on a map, learn to notice which places it has already spawned so that way you can guess where it will pop up next. Also, if there's not enough time to cap the HQ, it is wiser to get set up to cap the next one than to move on the HQ only to get there as it disappears.

it's random in a certain area i think.

The other reason you might see people loitering around is that it only takes one person to destroy the enemy's HQ. So once your team breaks through or kills off the opposing force its better to leave one guy to destroy the HQ while the rest of the team scatters so you can get the drop on the next HQ spawn. Often times, if your team just destroyed the enemies HQ, the next HQ is in a spawn farthest from your position and tends to favor the enemy. Or at least it feels that way.

I think once you get in map it may follow a certain rotation, because I noticed on one map, i forget which, that it was going in order. However I think once you get back to that same map again later in the day, it's different again.

I know for a fact it spawns the team who held the last HQ closer to the next HQ than the other team.

Seriously. Its pretty disheartening if you're moving from HQ to HQ simply to destroy it. On the other hand, if you're the team capturing the HQ's then you feel pretty good about shutting out the other team. That's why its important and why its the attacking teams obligation to spread out while destroying the HQ so they at least have a fighting chance at capturing the next one.
