Is it just me, or is spawning in Halo 5 really bad? Especially in Warzone and Warzone assault. For instance I spawned in the same place 3 times and got sniped each time. It’s pretty aggravating when this happens and I know nothing is perfect but there must be a better system than that.
Personally, I’ve found Halo 5’s spawn system to be arguably the best within the Halo franchise and I’ve played them all during their primary life-cycles. However, with that said I don’t play much Warzone (at least not since the first month or so since this game was released) so I don’t know if there are some particular issues associated with it in that environment. I know you can choose what base you spawn at if you have control of more than just your HQ base, but usually you won’t automatically spawn into the line-of-sight of an opposing sniper.
It’s really only bad at this point because full teams have had enough time to learn all the spawn points and how to manipulate the map so that their opponents spawn where they want them to.
Warzone never really had decent spawns and they’re easily exploited if you get triple capped.

WZ Assault was always worse for me than regular WZ. There’s no triple camp needed in that game mode to start spawn killing the other team.
I always find that getting spawn trapped in Swat to be dreadful. Especially on truth.
I managed to get spawned in the vehicle spawn point in a game of WZ yesterday, couldn’t get out and was stuck in there, then another player spawned in with me… sucks as I was having an ok game until that happened LOL.

Happened to me yesterday, went 2-14 as I just couldn’t move off spawn… fun times…

I have had this happen in turbo where I had about a 10minutes spawn with a Hannibal Mantis. The game ended before I could even get out of the vehicle bay : (

These are two different issues, but for the one where you actually spawn in the vehicle bay, remember that you can suicide by using your grenades. I believe you can also walk to the back and fall through the map to suicide as well, but it’s been a while.

Is this when the vehicle bay is loading? I was just stuck at the req screen for an infinite countdown it seemed like. I also wasn’t able to click x to spawn either.

Sometimes you get stuck spawning, and can’t rejoin the match, which is what it sounds like happened to you. However, other times you actually spawn inside the vehicle bay as infantry and are unable to walk out through the door. In those cases you can suicide. If you never spawned to begin with, then I have no fix for you other than to wait out the match or leave.

Thanks for that Sama, I’ll remember that for next time.
The only time I hate it is in swat when someone kills me and then I spawn in that same guy’s path and get re-killed by him.
Spawning has always been one of Halo’s weak points IMO. To be fair, it’s difficult in any game to spawn in additional players safely without the risk of trapping them to a specific area
