It's been said before but I can't find any reason to favour one historical thread over another. Spawns are still messed up for a lot of people. I've had a number of matches recently and one just now, which make me really doubt that the spawn mechanic has been changed as advertised.
Manus Peak: The entire blue team is gathered behind the rocks to the east of where objective A is. The entire red team is gathered in the center. Seven times in a row I spawn either directly in the middle of the red team or between my team and theirs to be caught in the crossfire. On all of these occasions, I'm dead before I have control of my toon.
Your spawn location weighting is broken. There was nothing favourable about the locations chosen. Proximity of reds/blues doesn't seem to have been considered at all. This is happening regularly enough that it's tempting to make rather a long video of ridiculous spawns to advertise the current state of ambush with. |

How it works:
Any teammate makes nearby spawn areas more favourable. Squadmates make the spawn area even more favourable, as do vehicles. A squadmate with a vehicle is the highest weighting. Nearby enemies are also weighted, but they have a negative impact, making the spawn less favourable. As with teammates, vehicles are also calculated as a higher "threat" value than infantry. There's nothing to balance enemy threat in comparison with squadmates.
How it SHOULD work:
Enemies are the primary consideration. Enemy vehicles in particular, obviously. Squadmate proximity should be LESS of a priority for spawning than the presence of enemies. Non-squad teammates should be weighted even further below the value of enemies.
If a teammate is worth 2 points of "favour" towards nearby spawns, then a vehicle or squadmate should add 1 to that value, meaning a squad vehicle is worth 4 points. Enemies should be considered as -5 for infantry and -7 for a vehicle.
This way, you'll end up spawning away from the main battlefield when your team is getting spawn-camped. Unless you use Lord and Saviour to spawn back into the fray. |

Do you remember the Black Screen Hot Fix?
That was the result of them fixing the Spawn the last time. At least they appeared after the same down time. Nobody knows if they were connected and I do mean nobody.
The BS Hot Fix got unrolled and while most of the Black Screens went away so did the modest improvement in the spawn mechanic. It might appear that they have indeed rolled some of the spawn update back in. It is difficult to say as the wall of silence that is their communication with the Players is fully functional.
Good luck on this one.
Hopefully the Screaming Rage Hot Fix won't be next. |

Yep, still broke. This is why I don't bring expensive suits to PUBs, no use if there is the possibility of getting shot before you can do anything. I've had a chain spawn death before where I got capped about 5 times each time I tried to spawn in, even after giving it a little bit.
