(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Before I start, I love this game so don't start all that your just a MW2 hater bullshit.

Is it only me or is this spawn system retarded! Now i'm not a camper by any means, I just tend to take things slow with my sniper rifle and pick people off from a distance before moving up. The problem is when you get dull team mates who think it's a good idea to go and rush the other team, the spawns switch. So i'm walking down the road happy as larry, picking people off, and some mofo with a shotgun comes and put 50lbs of lead in my arse.

This also works on the flip side though, you all know whats coming here, CHOPPER GUNNER! If you manage kill them all off fairly quickly, they are all going to spawn at exactly the same spot. How easy do infinity ward want to make it to get a nuke! If there is a chopper gunner or AC130 in the area the spawns should be spread out a little bit more than usual and be mostly indoor. I don't see how its fair that intelligent players who take things slow get spawn killed because of some retard with a death wish.

That concludes my rant, well done to anyone who managed to stay awake long enough to read all my bullshit. Discuss...

I don't think the spawning is that bad (yes I’ve been spawn killed a few times).

The problem is, if you always spawned near your original starting position it’s to easy to get surrounded and then it turns into a fish in a barrel scenario.

This happened loads on the original MW, where you couldn't leave a building without someone popping your head off. At least you have a chance if you respawn in a neutral area. Yes, sometimes you’re going to get pawned but other times it’s an easy kill!!

Some you win, some you lose. Just my opinion!!

:confused: I don't spawn close to my starting position most of the time. I spawn next to an enemy player or the enemy player spawns right behind me right after i killed him.

I don't think that's ever happened to me, I must have just been lucky with my spawning up to now.

Bet I get mullered by enemies spawning behind tonight though!!!!

I bet you're a more offensive play though, anyone who picks off from distance seems to have this problem.

I do try to be all stealthy and sneaky (slowly slowly spankey monkey and all that), but I tend to get boared if I haven't killed anyone after a couple of minutes and then I go all rambo and get creamed. Probably why my K/D ratio is only 1.03 at the mo.

Exactly, people like you get away with it because you're the ones who are making the spawns switch on the rest of us. While you have run up to there spawn and raped them, the spawns have switched and they're all spawning behind me with shotties ready to kick your arse. Annoyingly though, they run into me first.

I think the best spawning system is STILL that of COD4's, and that was flawed to an extent and never really fixed. W@W was really bad. MW2, so far though, really irks me a lot and I can't tell if it's worse then W@W or not. Then again, I played W@W for about 6 weeks before I returned it (absolutely can not stand [email][email protected][/email]ine was the best part of that game). MW2 though, it seems that some maps just make the battle always levitate to one part of the map. Sub Base in particular does this. 2/3's of it is barely used in almost all the matches I've played there.


Worst spawn death that I've had so far is when I'm watching a killcam, and all of a sudden, I'm watching a second kill-cam after what appeared to be a flash of my POV after spawning, then an explosion....and the kill-cam shows a PREDATOR MISSLE landing in the spawn area and hits like milliseconds after I spawn. Like, how does the game really think that's a good spawn area when a ROCKET!!! is heading towards it? Spawning on top of grenades is not cool either.


Still, I can't stand it when I kill a couple people, and then I get shot in the back because someone I killed quickly spawns behind me....like really? That is just sad. Especially with the size of some of these levels. How does one get to spawn 10-15 feet behind me in Wasteland when I just sniped them at a considerable distance (longshot)?

If I notice you on my team in future I'll hang back and do the sniper thing instead of charging around like a lunatic. Hardly any of my mates have PS3’s so I mostly play MTDM which tends to be every man for himself.
