So today I was playing team arena and I noticed I was spawning right next to enemies, sometimes several of them and fairly away from teammates… Also the opposite was happening sometimes, enemy players would spawn really close to me or my team… what the hell? how does this even make sense?
Shouldn’t we be able to spawn on teammates or at least close to them? Why must I spawn on the other side of the map near the enemy’s team or right in a conflict zone? Sometimes you spawn and not even a second later a grenade in blowing up in your face. How is this fair?
Let’s not even talk about the spawns in the firefight beta… spawning facing walls or opposite of the objective? really?
Things 343 could do to fix this:
-buddy spawn: spawn right next to a teammate (reach style)
-spawn based on team’s position on the map: if your team is on one side, don’t spawn us on the other!
-keep the horrible spawns but add a 2 or 3 second invulnerability. (seriously, getting spawn killed is the most frustrating thing ever)
What do you guys think?
This happens to me constantly! I spawn in to getting shot in the back or instantly Spartan charged
I think there is a buddy system for spawning in warzone because I once spawned next to a guy stuck inside the garage. I don’t think invulnerability is needed for spawning. I do agree that spawning does need to be tweaked a bit though.
being spawnkilled sux 
Yeah this is one of my main problems with this game
This is why I hate FFA swat. its cool in theory but I always spawn in the crosshairs of someone and die immediately…

Regular swat sucks just as much, you’ll spawn in the same places all the time.
Warzone is just as bad, the amount of times you’ll be spawned a mile away from where you wanted or in the open is ridiculous. And lets say you have the middle base and west armoury. You want to spawn at the middle base, do you spawn on the safer side of the west armoury facing. Oh no you’ll spawn on the east armoury side, where the opposition is.
It’s not unfair, because it happens to everyone. Over hundreds of games, it doesn’t happen anywhere nearly enough to be an issue.
Roll with the punches and get on widdit!

I don’t think you understand what SWAT is. The whole point is to spawn trap the enemy team.
Was playing Big Team CTF on the map with 2 Mantises. Was in the Mantis garage about to go into the base. 2 Enemies spawned in the Garage with me and 2 spawned in the base. 4 enemies within radar range of me. Now the enemies in the base COULD have just been camping out in there, but I know the ones in the garage spawned right next to me. That map is too small for big team.

I play SWAT almost exclusively of the competitive lists and have noticed no real trend towards spawn trapping enemy teams, that sounds unsporting to me. The spawning problem is real, though as someone else said it happens to everyone so it is at least balanced, in a weird way. Would like to see it get some attention and improved / fixed though
This is a real pain. Happens all the time now. Why ask me where to spawn, if I am just put where ever?

Just a bit? I lost my one and only Selene’s Lance because I spawned directing in front of an enemy Mantis
