Im really starting to like this game. It took a while to get used to the controls, still hoping different settings will come.
Anyway, now in ambush mode opposing teams spawn next to each other in the beginning of the game. Really annoying because im used to spawn on the other side of the map.
Hope some people agree with me!

You have no idea how many people agree with you on this one. Unfortunately one of the things we have to deal with in that ambush mode. My best hint is the second you spawn look around and bookit to your nearest ally or shoot any enemy that is beside you. If you die pray that the spawn gods will not screw you over again. |

Also, this is where logibros are your friend. THey an drop an uplink that friendlies can spawn into. Careful though because they can be hostile. |

Also had this happen in Skirmish - spawning in front of 2 or 3 heavy suits isn't fun at all. :(
Even if there are people attacking your spawn point, the game should try to not place you right in front of them. |

You have no idea how many people predicted this would be one of the first things brought up with open beta. CCP has been working on it for a few builds, but for now, just use drop uplinks. |

Always assume your spawn zone will be hot in ambush. Also, if you are among the first to spawn at the start of a match, always assume that a red is about to spawn in the exact same spot. Might as well make the awful spawning system work in your favor. |

All very nice tips guys! Thanks! Made up one trick to dodge the spawning carnage just by waiting 1 or 2 minutes before starting your first spawn. May cost you some kills you can make in the carnage but beats the **** out of being shot all the time. |

But you miss the fun hectic moments at the beginning. Just the other day I spawned into the middle of 3 enemies during the starting spawn. I instantly shot up and killed one and fortunately I spawned close to a rock so I ran around the rock.....like 5 times trading shots with the enemies I ended up surviving (one was even a heavy!!) and getting 2 of the 3 kills since an ally came to help me and got one of them. I felt invicible the rest of the match. |

Well I dont know where to word fun comes from and what your saying at all. As you can see im trying different things and my opinion is only from FPS I played before. Otherwise I wouldnt even post a topic about it.... |

Yes, I hope this changes to. Having enemies running through your spawn from the get go is no fun. It ruins the whole concept of a plan before you even had the chance to start one at times. |

Sometimes its fun sometimes its not. Maybe if they can control it more so that there would be a little distance between opposite players it would be more even. An heavy vs a scout is not even when you spawn next to eacht other. They gotta come up with something more even. |

When spawning at the start of an Ambush match, keep your eyes glued to the radar. If you are the first to spawn, run forwards a few meters and turn around. Two players in any combination of red and blue will probably be spawning in right in front of you now.
Also, resist the urge to spawn with your drop uplink or other support-type fittings. You will be engaged in combat within a few seconds of starting, so bring in something cheap that hits hard at close to medium ranges. |

Yes thats what Im doing all the time and I must say I survive allmost everytime now. I run an Heavy dropsuit with a Gek-38 and 2 complex light damage mods. So most of the time I survive and kill. |

As a nOO  player, can some kind soul please direct me to a thread about spawn points? I have looked in the forums and on Dust pages online, Wiki, etc. and can find nothing about spawn points. I have only been playing a week or so, am not in a Corporation yet, so I only get to choose "default spawn point" or whatever it is termed in game.
Is there going to be some sort of timer in which a player newly spawning is "invincible"; meaning, I have spawned many times only to have the enemy camping the spawn point, I drop in, "blind" and have been killed instantly? How can I see on the game map where I will be dropped in?
I really am trying!
I am trying to better understand where I can spawn. Sorry for the stupid question. Thank you, in advance, for your kind replies. :) |

Well from my understanding you can spawn trough drop-uplinks. But those are put down by players, and sometimes yes you get into a chaos spawning point. Guess thats a bit the part of the game.. |

wait, I just thought of something, and this is a seriously new thought lols.
We are Ambushed from behind and thus have chaotic spawning. Which is why it's called ambush. Realy wish there where 2 Ambush modes though. Vehicles and no Vehicle mode, Because sometimes, i just enjoy a strait up Infultry vs Infultry fight. |

Do you have to be teamed up to use a dropped uplink? Or simply because we are on the same side? How do you select a spawn point? I have seen in Skirmish mode that I can select, can you not select in Ambush?
Thanks! |

as long as you're on the same team, you can spawn on a dropped uplink. |

No I think just because youre on the same side. You can select a spawnpoint bij going there with the map. Thats the screen you see when you choose a dropsuit. Skirmish and Ambush are different games so are the spawning points. In Ambush you can select a spawn point and thats the Clone Vat, but your team has to hack it in order to spawn there. Normally you spawn somewhere on the map, mostly in a good spot but sometimes I cant figure out why there. Maybe gotta read more about that somewhere on this forum.

Um, your squad is part of the team. the team is 16 players big, squad is only 4 Team Members big. think you're confusing Team with Squad. |

A while back i said I was done with ambush, I came back to it to try out Ambush OMS to see if things got any better...
At the start of the match, I spawned in front of an enemy...with my back facing him.
So yeah, not coming back to Amb |

I agree that the spawns have to be fixed. I can't tell you how many times I've spawned directly in the line of fire or in front of a vehicle and am instantly killed.
It's also a problem because it leads to one team dominating the other in a very short time. It isn't fun if you don't have a fighting chance. |

I definitely agree you need to be able to select a general spawning area in Ambush. Also just to add to the spawning options, I'm not sure how many people know this but there is actually a vehicle module that places a cloning unit. It is a very helpful tool, you could play the whole round in an LAV acting as a quick mobile spawn point always getting your allies behind the enemies, or you could put hold your ground in a tank and give your teammates a nice consistent place to spawn. Or my personal favorite, place it in a dropship and have your teammates drop in from above (and yes I actually find it more ISK efficient and PG efficient to place the cloning unit module in level 1 dropships than to simply purchase a level 3 dropship that come with cloning units built in).
A couple problems with this is there has to be room in the vehicle for you to spawn and sometimes the people who spawned in previously don't like to leave, and also I'm not sure many people realize it's ok to jump out of a dropship since everyone has the inertia dampeners. |

man spawning is this game is horrible at the moment in every game mode some people say that in skirmish go spawn in the MCC lolol i was in a game that we could only spawn in the MCC at the time but even there they were waintng lost 3 clones until people push back the other team and in ambush people are starting to wait when spawn for other players and then we have spawn traps i think if they dont change this there will be toturials on were are the best places to spawn trap people lolol |
