    Default Spawning on Escalation...

    Show of hands, who's tired of getting killed from behind on this map? I understand that spawn points change to prevent spawn trapping, but do they have to change as erratically as they do on this map?

    The map shouldn't have been brought back in the first place. Even Raven Down can be controlled in its spawn points because you have 4 spots instead of 2.

    Agreed, the main problem I have with Escalation is how quickly the spawns start to alternate. You can be 40 seconds into a match and already have guys rushing at you from behind.

    Yeah, this is the reason why Escalation is such a horrid map. The fact that they alternate spawn so frequently in sometimes surprisingly short period of time just frustrates the hell out of me.

    The problem with making them static is that because of the way the map is designed one spawn will always have an advantage over the other. I think you need them to swap, but not as fast as it currently is. There's a difference between keeping you on your toes, and just swapping the spawns as soon as someone dies. It just becomes a mess.

    It's by far the most ruined map in terms of respawn-gametypes =(

    I'm not. Why? Because anytime Escalation comes up, I leave right away.

    I love it. Don't camp an u won't have a problem.

    I was worried when it first came out that it would be a campfest. But because of how fast spawns change it has made it great. It's such a fast paced map, one of my favourites because of this. Stay still u will die.

    Like I said be pro active an you win camp u die. awesome
