My issue comes from playing too much BF3, and too little Dust Skirmish. So here's the summary:
In BF3, the maps are essentially static (no changing environments when you load the same map) so it's easy to remember the layout of the terrain. What makes it even easier is that when we select a spawn, it's very clear on the map if we're selecting to spawn in a random location or in a specific location.
When I'm in skirmish mode in Dust, I have absolutely no idea where I am. I can't tell based on the minimap, there's nothing selectable or selected..my only clue is that I spawn at the "Default Location," wherever that is. If there IS some kind of mechanic for choosing where to spawn in Skirmish...I sure haven't found it yet. |

Are you sure you're not talking about Ambush? You always select a specific location in Skirmish - Default is only an option in Ambush. |

This is definitely Ambush, not Skirmish.
And on most maps, there ARE good landmarks that you can use to get your bearings, but it would be nice to get a pre-emptive notification of where you're going to be spawning, or a better marker as you spawn, or something to make it more obvious. |

Spawning is a big problem in this game. I can't tell you how many times I've spawned in only to get blasted to oblivion by 2 or 3 enemies as soon as the re spawn countdown timer hits 0. The default spawn system doesn't exclude dangerous locations (aka where enemies are currently) when determining where you spawn, and that's a very important mechanic. Think of it, 10 or 15 deaths a game because of this can really change the outcome of a game, as well as **** off a lot of players. |

In ambush both sides spawn in pretty much random spots. |

Sorry, I meant ambush. I wonder if it'd be possible to write the pseudo code for the respawning placement and just send it to ccp? lol |
