Spawn Points

[mikelar10]

I think the spawn points in this game are pretty awful. About 90% of my frustration from playing bf2 comes from spawning and being killed instantly without being given time to react.

Take the lower dam flag on Kubra Dam. I think there are 4 random spawn points at this flag. Two of the points are outside the dam ramp behind the boxes and the second two are directly next to the flag (either side - behind the boxes also). Spawning at the latter two points means if the enemy is trying to capture that flag you have very little chance of surviving if A) there's more than one enemy capturing the flag and B) the enemy is in a tank/apc. You might stand a chance if B) is the case and you happen to be anti tank or spec ops. Otherwise, your only option is to run or (as is the case most times) die the second you spawn.

This game would be far more better if they'd given more thought to spawn points. How about some safer spawn points that don't plonk you within 10 feet of the flag and therefore the enemy?? The Chinese air base on wake island is a good example, lots of open space and plenty of safe places to spawn at - as random spawning is.

Anyway, what does everyone else think?

"BUT JUST SPAWN SO/\/\EWHEre ELSE LAWL"
Oh yeah, mabey you want to actually be useful.
It should be made so you spawn where you click on the map. That way you can avoid 'SomeDude[BTR-90]You' eight time in a row, or if you're really lucky: 'ObligotoryAsshole[Teamkills]You' spammed across the upper-left corner of my screen. Supposedly your spawn-place is chosen by 'mathmatical equations' or something. ********.

Re: Spawn Points

if u dont want to be killed in ur own spawm..then dont spawn there...in RL ppl dont magically appear out of nowhere...u should spawn like a flag near the action and then u can plan and assualt the base being pwned

Re: Spawn Points

no you moron, he means we need more than like the four spawn points each flag area has, to stop the spawn killing no skill losers

Re: Spawn Points

or have the spawn points at a spot where tanks and crap wouldnt get to u as easy. I mean spawing in the open while in a area with loads of enemy your not going to do much, cause when u spawn ur dead. Its does get annoying after a while but thats why i spawn some where else after a few times

*SIGH* Firstly, you can't tell a flag is under attack from the spawn screen. If you want to spawn somewhere for a certain vehicle and the game puts you right next to a flag that's being captured by a tank, then you're gonna die as soon as you spawn. Secondly, even if I did want to spawn at a flag that I know is being captured....y'know....TO DEFEND IT.....I don't expect to be given no chance at all by appearing right infront of the enemy. All I ask, like somebody pointed out, is a safe place to spawn.

This game really needs less of the keyboard bashers like you.
