What is wrong with the spawn system?

I just played a game of Capture the Flag in which I was killed, over and over again, within 5 seconds of spawning, simply because an enemy player had taken up residence on our side of the map and the game–for some reason–could not spawn me anywhere other than right in front of him. I thought the process was meant to be random.

Well, instant respawn isn’t in CTF, so I have no idea.
