Spawn points

As I’ve been getting a little better recently i’m beginning to notice stuff. Like on boardwalk , you want to be spawned near the stairs going down to the Rockets. Not the opposite side of the map. Same on pinnacle, either you spawn right next to the rockets or in the sniper-hut. But both the rockets and sniper are near 1 spawn point. making it uneven.

I only recently noticed you can choose where you spawn after dying, by pressing the up/down. Obviously I need to get used to identifying the different areas quick enough to make an informed decision. I was just wondering how much people use this. Is it invaluable to some players or does no-one really use it? It’s a new tactical element, I was missing before anyways.

This is only the case for Invasion game modes like Invasion, Invasion Skirmish or Invasion Slayer, it is not in every game mode, you can press up & down to scroll through your team mates but it doesn’t determine your respawn point.

It was also in Bro Slayer a while ago.

Ahh OK, thanks for clearing that up. I thought I was affecting my spawn and that I was just confusing myself by not doing it quickly enough.
