This became unfortunately common in ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki/>'s [[matchmaking]], especially on smaller, symmetrical maps, such as [[Midship]] and [[Sanctuary]]. In ''Halo 3'', the issue of spawn camping was addressed specifically by multiplayer designers, who engineered a complex algorithm to govern respawns. This algorithm not only assured that respawns would take place in a helpful manner, but also reduced the likelihood of respawning at a location with enemies nearby. Although spawn camping remains an issue to some extent, it is far less common. | This became unfortunately common in ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki/>'s [[matchmaking]], especially on smaller, symmetrical maps, such as [[Midship]] and [[Sanctuary]].

Another type of spawn camping is to drive a vehicle rapidly around your enemy's [[base]]. Although this tactic will allow many players to escape their spawn points unharmed, it will also grant the player a considerable number of kills as they simply splatter newly-spawned foes. This is not generally considered a serious form of camping, as it relies on motion and has a considerable level of risk involved. This tactic is especially popular in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as even the slightest touch from a moving vehicle will kill an opponent. | Another type of spawn camping is to drive a [[category:Vehicles|vehicle]] rapidly around your enemy's [[base]].
