Who designed the ambush spawn system, and why has it been so awful for so long?
It is impossible to attempt anything resembling a serious fight when you spawn in front of HMGs consistently. Why the hell is it possible to spawn at point blank in a bunch of enemies? It happens over and over with your team repeatedly respawning and getting killfarmed.
'Smart deploy' my foot.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I was playing ambush with a forge the other day. Twice in a row I spawned in the center of a 3 meter radius circle of reds. Spawn HMG? "Oh, now we'll spawn you 100 meters away from everybody. Thank you. Have a nice day."
Just wonderful.

That's why I'm afraid to go into ambush solo. I'll only venture into it with a squad to greatly decrease my chances of being on the team that gets stomped. I hate to say it but I don't want to end up on the team that gets stomped.
Skirmish spawns also need a look at. It's a bit too often when I spawn at an objective and I'm met face to face with a heavy or a couple reds or even a tank.

what about spawning on your squad like in bf4. no squad your pretty much screwed but spawning on your leader might change things up a bit. |

Ambush is a good test of character. The game puts you in a terrible situation on first spawn and challenges you to overcome the adversity.
Adversities include:
-Spawning below an enemy and becoming fish in a barrel
-Spawn trapped in a room with only 2 exits one of which is camped by a tank
-Spawning repeatedly in front of a mob of reds.
I love ambush because it's one of the only game modes where it doesn't end up in a red line within the first 90 seconds and you're forced to sit there and do nothing for the next 10. If the game is lost it's lost within a minute. It's a constant string of action but honestly speaking it's a nightmare.

Why do you think those of us who have been playing Ambush regularly since Beta have been complaining about this! It used to be Duna and CO farming spawns, I guess now other grunts have caught on to the spawn locations (Especially in manus peak... that map is so easy to predict in ambush omg...)

Haha I like the way you put that...
Put in more simple terms.. I have always said "At least in Ambush, if its over... its over fast!"

Would it be better if the team spawned in 'waves' as opposed to single spawns..?
Would it be better if the team spawned in the air so they could have a bit of time to see what they're getting into..?
Edit: Serious question, no sarcasm.

Whats worst is when a blueberry put an uplink right at the point where the smart deployment deploy you and thus the chaos and sh*t storm begins...
