Playing swat. Winning by 10. Spawn and immediately get killed. Spawn in the exact same spot again. And again. And again. And again. Enemy team gets 6 free kills without even moving their reticle. Lose by 2 kills. My god this spawn system is terrible, for the love of god fix it.
Agreed. I’ve been spawned in the same spot so. many. times.
Also, why does it respawn so fast? It effectively means you cant get an extermination since the killed players instantly come back. Stupid

Yea instant spawning is terrible. I thought they learned that after Halo 4 but I guess not.
agreed instant spawning is really bad. like horrifically bad. the other day i was playing a game and my team was down 49-43 and i kill two guys then spawn killed them both 5 straight times instanly to win, it was somehow unsatisfying knowing i only did that because the current spawns are pretty bad
Also occasionally in warzone you will spawn off the map and die
Agreed, Not even SWAT, it’s all game types, I played a warzone games once, after finally being killed, I respawned about 15ft from a ghost in the middle of a field, so, I didn’t stand a chance, I died, Respawned and was immediately ran over by the exact same ghost, who was already in mid boost…So…ok…I respawn again, The SAME ghost is now behind me, and guns me down again…
I’ve also been Spawn assassinated twice in the same game, literally spawned me in melee range with my BACK TURNED…the least hey could do if have you face the nerest enemy and give you some kind of chance.
So far my spawn kill record is 6 in a row…never able to take more than 2 feet before i was either Melee’d, Blown up, or shot. and yeah, it’s pretty crappy to go from winning to YOU LOSE because of something like that, and then on top of it, you’re rank goes down because “you lost”…
I played a game of swat, won the game, and at the end, I heard another an enemy say “I love the -Yoinking!- spawns in the game, so nice to get killed before even getting to -Yoinking!- move”

True, although its way more apparent in swat. Its so bad, no idea how this got past playtesting. Not even spawning in similar areas, its legit the exact same spot 4-5-6 times in a row. Unbelievable.
I agree, respawns are really bad in all game modes, but in SWAT and FFA is really bad.

Yeah, It’s happened to me before, hell I once watched a teammate get spawn killed 3 times, in the EXACT same spot, his bodies where piling on top of each other…it is pretty ridiculous
I am a SWAT player (Onyx) and I am having a lot of fun with this game, but the spawning on some of the maps is absolute trash. I have complete faith that 343 will fix this soon however. But it is just ridiculous that people can get a double kill on the same person right off of spawn
This happens continuously on the Arena maps and occasionally on Warzone. Warzone spawns can be bad, but usually it’s not a few spawn deaths that throw a game of Warzone. Arena game modes on the other hand… It’s irritating to lose a match of Slayer just because a the enemy was able to spawn kill your team mates a handful of times. The spawning on Arena maps is really inconsistent and makes the game very frustrating.
I get spawn killed in warzone too its soo lame

I’ve had a long lasting conspiracy theory about Halo’s spawn system, I’ve noticed it to be a bit odd that there where medals for killing 8 people back to back, and that I’ve done it in a 4v4 game, that should be seriously impossible…Yet, Every TIME i get on a double kill, (to me) it seems like it just purposely puts people in my path to get the triple and higher…Back on Reach I had gotten a triple and was running down the hallway, it just put one in front of me, dead…another at the end of the hallway dead, another around the corner…I was just thinking, ok…this seems like it’s setting me up for medals…I got to 6 and the 7th still spawned in my path, but he took me out just before i got him.
it seems silly i know, but I don’t think I’m that good of a player, but getting a 5-6 multi-kill on a 4v4 game type just seems stupid to me…4 sure…the whole team was together, but 5+…That’s either a bad spawn system, or it sets you up.
^ Bad spawn system. I don’t think the game is trying to pick-and-roll for you.

Yea that was my hope in posting, make it known so a patch comes through sooner rather then later. Loving the game in almost every other aspect but this needs fixed BAD.
Agree to the max. I play FFA and I’m in onyx (1713 rating)and I just stopped playing for today due to the constant : I spawn, I start to move, get shot , no time to react, dead. This was over and over and over again. Or I spawn see a rocket launcher/hydra aiming at me and I’m dead. Or spawn where I just got died from and the top player gets 2 free kills.They need to reduce the number of player from 8 to 6 and make sure they spawn far away from others .

Agreed. I’ve always said 8 feels like too many for an FFA. It’s supposed to be intense but 8 is a bit of overkill.
Halo 5 has one of the worst spawn systems of any halo, probably only beat by Halo 1.
