<P><FONT SIZE=2>Not exactly. The shovel allows you to relocate certain spawn points that are placed on the map. The item starts out with zero ammo -- you have to go pick it up with the 'g' key.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This means that, on the linux server, NVA players will destroy these movable spawn points when they pick them up.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>These spawn points only exist in certain maps/game types, so you may want to remove the following from your map rotation, until we get the issue resolved.</FONT></P>
