Priority one in next patch: spawn point fix?

[DEATH_MONSTER]

it just gets annoying when you are in a 2 vs 2 and you seem to spawn right in front of your enemies and it ends up happening 15 or 20 times in a match it is really stupid when i it is happening on defiance or heat ray

FORGET WHAT I EDITED OUT.

10chars.

if you spawn the farthest away from the leader every time, then they would know exactly where you spawn every time making it just as bad if youre playing against a decent opponent. it needs to be somewhat random.

Like someone said - take the good with the bad really spawn wherever its like in real life sometimes u get lucky other times u dont.

I know that in CTF, you are more likely to spawn in areas where there are the least number of enemies. I would think the same applies in DM - that's why there is no problem in 1v1. But in a crowded server, sometimes the least populated spawnpoint is the one with the dude who just fragged you...

This is correct - and there are no team spawn points in TDM. You just spawn anywhere.

i noticed that in 1v1s this doesn't happen, but it has happened in tdm games before.

It does happen in 1v1's i've been on the receiving end f it.

As long as you don't spawn near enemies its fine >.<

It happened to me in a 1v1 on Sentinel once. The score was 5-6, I somehow got stuck on the stairs leading to the Stinger (couldn't move at all until he killed me) and right after that, I spawned near the stinger three times in a row and I ended up losing by a point when the round was over.

In the mlut I spawned five times in a row in the same place by an amped enemy which wasn't fun at all.

This may or may not be fixable. It happened in 2k3/2k4, and from what folks told me back then, it also happened in UT99/GOTY. It also seems the more folks there are in the server, the higher the likelihood of it happening.

For me, it's more of a case of spawning near my LEAST favorite weapon than near the guy who killed me last.

^ Or spawning somewhere where u gotta actually turn a few corners to get any weapon period
