The spawn points are ridiculous sometimes and it’s been this way for a very long time. They need a refresh and I’m happy to take the time to tweak every single H3 map to speed it along a bit.

Can you give specific examples?
The spawn system in H3 is a solved issue. The only egregious map that I can think of is Icebox.
If you read the spawning system created by Bungie its very easy to understand.
Really? It’s considered resolved? Because it’s fairly common for me to spawn in a random open space even if enemies are right there, making it much more likely to get spawn killed. I’m not saying this happens every single time but some of the time there are spawn points that clearly need to be re-placed. I’d say this is my experience generally on most maps tbh. Icebox definitely. Just experienced this now in Team Snipers on Isolation.

The system itself is fine, but a few maps have very egregious unprotected spawns like isolation, heretic and standoff. Not sure what can be done about heretic 4v4, but isolation could use a refresh in not just spawns but some additional cover in some areas. On standoff I think a respawn zone is used even in slayer variants which is incredibly odd, because no other maps does this. It’s impossible to side swap on Standoff and it’s worse for it.
Overall 343 hasn’t updated the map offerings all that much which is a shame because titles like H2A could desperately use it. Halo 3 would be nice for a few changes here and there on some maps or include them as variants.
In slayer matches the spawns are bearable but objective modes are down right garbage when you’re against a full stack.
Thank you but I’m not talking about the system itself. Just the spawn points.
If any devs are reading this; Hi, just say the word and I’ll gladly polish the spawn points in H3 in all modes on all maps and then submit for approval. Many of the changes will be subtle but it’ll make a difference, trust me.
I’d be surprised if they do anything. I’ve suggested this before with games Halo Reach/Halo 2A and they straight up refused to do anything about it despite the spawns being exploited for spawn trapping and told me it’s a ‘design choice’.
I dont see any changes being necessary, but to each their own. Good luck!
Hi so on the off chance a dev reads this; Icebox(Revised) is in my Fileshare now. I’ve addressed the respawn issue and spiced things up a bit. If you want me to do anything else just ask.
