"A designer on my team named matt, has spent a mjaoirty on this project... One of his tasks is to constitently tune and fine tune the spawning system. In very Macro level spawning works as such: We're trying to find a spawn that is not so far away from the action that you feel you have to run forever to get back into the fight, but isn't so close that you feel you're in immediate harms way. So whenever you spawn in the game we actually log that. We log what we call a bad spawn, it means that I took or received damage within 3 seconds of spawning. So we're trying to eliminate occurances where you would have a so called 'bad spawn'. It is very difficult thing to do so in a very small map like this(Nuketown 2025). There is only so much space in the map and the 12 players you run out of spawns really fast and good spaces to spawn, but we go to a lot of trouble to make sure the spawning works in a way where you feel protected, but no so far removed from the action. Right now we have less than 2% bad spawn rate. We are measuring all the time and we're fine tuning what we call a spawn radius. Spawn radius is basically how far away an influencer is that makes a spawn bad or not. That is a lot of dev mumbo jumbo, we're working our asses off to make spawning better."

Well according to my friends who have been playing online for the last few hours, they said the spawns are as bad as MW3. I haven't played online yet as I've been doing combat training, etc and the spawns didn't seem that bad to be honest.
