Call of Duty

So, spawn points. Anyone else think they are ridiculous?

there  must be a better system, I just been in a game and 5 times on the bounce I respawned right next to an enemy

Obviously after a bit of rage I had to quit, It's bad.

They have been awful since day one. IW call it 'revenge spawning'
its stupid

[WednesdayBob]

It certainly is.
And Up The Hammers

[stevewhu]

Indeed!

The spawns always been same on mw3 ? I was playing earlier and got killed spawned back three my care package marker and was killed by a trophy system it's stupid at times.

I suppose it's not as bad as having hackers and cheats
Now COD 4 has got really bad lately for that.
One example the other day I was playing, we had just started, about 30 secs in game and there's an airstrike. Now they take 5 kills am I right? I thought that's strange so I looked on the leaderboard and sure enough the most kills anyone had was 3, so how can there be an airstrike unless there's something I don't know about and therefore I'm a noob lol.

when mw3 first came out for me it wasn't as bad as it is now! terminal as well seems to be the worst map for unfair spawns, die and spawn pretty much in the same place you die... not cool

[x-_vodka_paul_-x]

best advice is wait 10 seconds before spawning back in or play search and destroy

[penny84]

Terminal is the worst map for spawn killing. Pin the opposite team down at a flag and instantly kill them with snipers as the spawn in the shop.

This game can be the worst for being spawn-killed as there only a limited amount of spawn points on every map. When the enemy is spread out all over the map, chances are you'll end up spawning in front of one of them.

Maybe 2 things could solve this:

Choose your spawn point (maybe a little cursor on the map) prior to your next re-spawn

OR

x seconds of invincability where you can't be shot or shoot anyone to get away from the spawn point

Could either be implemented? Maybe. Will they be? I doubt it...
