What reasonable explanation is there for the fact that I start a match with an enemy already blasting me in the face? The game had literally just started for everyone and there were at least 2 people as dumbfounded as I was. This happens very often during Ambush in some of the smallest maps; the teams will spawn ere yards away from each other. What is this non sense? |

This topic has been posted before, but I'm starting to feel that the only answer to this is what it has now - and the reason I've come to believe this is because I'd rather have that one death than be spawn camped.
CCP has been trying Team spawns in a couple of Ambush Maps and I can already see the camping happening - worst case I've seen is where an opposing team literally placed a Tank right in the middle of the spawn field and started cleaning house.
Until CCP can get the code down for the first spawn to be on a team side and all other spawns randomly placed around the map. I say keep it as it is...yes it sux, but the alternative is worse IMO. |

No, you don't understand. It's that initial kill by two or three enemy troops that lock the team in one place, leaving them in disarray as the rest of the enemy team comes in and sweeps everything clean. Spawns should be the way they are in Call of Duty.(allow me to make my argument first, before you say "this is not your run o' the mill shooter, y'kno)Spawns in TDM are designed so that as long as a specific area is being controlled by a any team, that team should keep respawning there, and if another team manages to break that team's line, the spawn's control would be swapped for the invading team, placing the invaded team in a random spot, away from the enemy team.
Just my 2 cents. The way spawns are right now are very enfuriating as you can get killed before you evn gai control of your avatar. |

Actually it isn't that initial kill that locks people into place. Cause as of now I've come to expect to spawn in hostile territory surrounded by peeps for the initial spawn. But as I've said before with Ambushes that have placed the spawn points on opposite sides - spawn camping begins to ensue, and spawning right next to an enemy tank, each and every time you spawn - now that locks people into place.
With the random spawn points in and around the outside border of the map this causes more of a concentration for one particular area of the map that gives the team an advantage.
The best possible solution has been said - First Spawn = opposing sides, Spawns thereafter = random points on the borders of the map (hard to spawn camp if there are multiple areas that a person can spawn in. So until CCP can do it that way - Keep it as is. Cause it's the only way to limit the amount of spawn camping that is done. |

I've been in some of the maps where an entire squad will spaw together... right next to me, who is a part of a 4-man squad completely dispersed throughout the map.
Question: good luck or consistent; when placing a rally point on a person from your squad, other members of the squad will respawn there. |

This has been an issue from day one. If anyone has played Starhawk, I know, the spawn system there is decent. Your team has a specific spawn area. You choose where to drop & have limited control of your descent trajectory, for minor adjustments to landing area. Not only does this work well, but when people camp, you can land on them and squash 'em from the force of your dampeners. Just a thought. |
