KOTH spawning

[joal0503]

so for starters i dont have a problem with them or anything, im just looking to find what infor is out there to help out my awareness...in koth what dictates spawn location - rotation, player proximity, hill location/proximity, etc... ? what determines respawn waiting time?

any helpp is appreciated...i think i got the hang of the hill movements...but spawning still seems a bit hard to track.

I'm pretty sure the KOTH spawn locations are the Wingman spawning locations. I think it's decided by the hill location, don't quote me on either of those though. All I know is a dev said "it trys to pick the best spawn" where 'it' refers to the game.

I don't think so.

sometimes it just feels like the game WANTS a certain outcome...depths especially...

Best way to get a leg up on the spawns is to play a lot of KOTH and you'll figure out where the most common spawn locations are per map. Your team can block certain spawns by staying there and guarding the hill from there or just leaving one guy at it and there will usually only be 2 areas that they will come from.

well thats the thing...im pretty experienced with koth by now...i just cant figure it out! theres gotta be some sort of technical explanation out there...

KOTH usually has the same spawn positions but I still get screwed over sometimes. I've noticed weird stuff on Raven Down, where you spawn next to the enemies. Also, it's really frustrating to spawn somewhere, start moving away from it, and have your enemies spawn exactly where you did 2 seconds later =/

^This^ and imo the escalation spawns stink.

I feel like the spawns are random, half the time I spawn behind and enemy or they spawn behind me, and then there is those times when the enemy has a 100+ lead and I spawn with my entire team 15 seconds away when there is a spawn closer that has no enemies near it. This is why I don't play KoTH much in Gears 3, and I used to be a huge annex fan in Gears 2 (top 1000 for ranked).

the spawning on koth is a pain in the nek , i always spawn walk 1 second and bump into 3 opposites.

bring back the fixed spawning please!!!!! like it was for many years

u can stop spawns by spreading it out, but if you can potentially be spawned on
