Ack! I know EXACTLY what you mean! Try to jump and BLAM! You end up running over your own grenade.

I suppose spawn killings are sometimes unavoidable. I mean, if it's a random-spawn DM, you just can't help but squeeze the trigger when someone respawns right in front of you. It's just too damn tempting. I guess I'm just really turned off to the whole practice because Insta-Gib (one hit kill) spawn-killers on Unreal series CTF. There's really nothing you can do... they just sit there and hold the trigger as a team respawns in their base. Little deathmatch flukes or one thing, but I would never do that.
The nice, nice people at Bungie have engineered something into their game that allows for random spawning in the event of a spawn camper.

For instance, if player 1 shot player 2 at base 2, then player 2 would respawn at base 1. It automatically spawns you at the base furthest from your enemy, which helps to completely avoid spawn campers. And in 3, 4 or more player games, it randomises spawn points to avoid double base spawn camping.
