Bad Spawning system ?

Post » Sun May 08, 2011 3:15 am

Is it me, or does the game spawn players in the most awkward and silly places. Most of the times I re-spawn in-front of two enemies or next to a camper, surely it can be fixed so players spawn away from opposition players :S ?

Its pretty common on Wall Street for the game to spawn enemies facing each other 2 meters apart in the subway entrances. Its pretty ridiculous. One time though I actually spawned right behind an enemy. As soon as the game started I cloaked and grabbed him, there was nothing he could do.

In Skyline I spawned in the same spot as an opposition player and it killed him showing a suicide...

One time in Skyline I spawned in front of the turret on the fence with a guy standing at it. It was in beta though. Wall Street is the worst though.

hah yeah the spawning system makes me not even want to play and in fact I haven't really played it much at all. I enjoyed the demo but now with 8 vs 8 and this spawn system it is bad. It is no fun spawning in front of 3 or 4 enemies to get mowed down before moving. It would be one thing for free for all but for team I expect to spawn safely in the area my team has controlled and for it to switch as teams control different spots.

It's not terrible but it is definatly not great.

Sadly a side effect of having completley random spawns with no option of changing otherwise. At least we have cloak unlike a few other games out there with similar spawn systems.

I make a habit to cloak as soon as I spawn no matter what and uncloak where it's "safe", makes it so I get spawn killed a lot less.

Spawning right in front of enemies at the beginning of a match or spawning very close to enemies at any time during a match shouldn't happen, and I hope they will rewrite the spawning system as soon as possible.

Imagine what a nightmare this bad spawning system would be if you also got a 5 second spawn protection!

This spawning system is 10x better than most fast paced shooters. Take it from an experienced gamer. Call of duty has much worse spawns. They are a joke by comparison.

The random few times you spawn near someone mid-game is usually like a Micheal Jordan opportunity. For example.. Someone running with your flag, the game will most likely you spawn you either FARTHEST away or IN HIS PATH. When it does, it's up to YOU to win the game. It's pretty epic or pretty fail. Up to your skill!

But about the spawns at the start of maps... Well... Lots of players on small maps can do that. I agree fully on that. I'm always alert now when the game starts. It can be really really stupid sometimes.
