One of the most frustrating things about the game… You can have 3+ members of the opposite team in front of you, then all of the sudden, the 4th ends up behind you. Or you’re picking guys off, then they SPAWN behind you!
Oh and the 4th guy… he’s always carrying rockets or something lol. P*sses me off…
That’s a terrible spawn. I have had bad ones too, but not as bad as your example.
The worst I’ve seen is getting spawn killed with grenades

I’ve dealt with this the past couple of days it seems… the 4th guy always comes up behind with Rockets/Shotgun… you name it, and I get stuck. It’s like no matter where I spawn either, it’s always next to the guy with the biggest gun on the map. Scores like 5-15 begin to ensue…
Very frustrating. Doesn’t even feel like I have a chance sometimes, and I’m a pretty decent player.
It’s not just spawn it’s how garbage the radar in this game is.
It happens when your team is scattered all over the map. You can make the enemy spawn in certain spots if your team sets up right.
Not behind me, but I am almost always alone in the crossfire. I am starting to think my team just uses me as bait since I am the one that always tries to hog all the power weapons even if I suck with them (I do it so that the enemy won’t have them. If I could throw them off the map without committing suicide, I’d do it… I still try to empty the Rocket Launchers in Slayer whenever I can (can’t use them to save my life) so that if I am killed, they pick up an empty shell…

It’s the addition of constant sprint and boost. It makes it way to easy to travers the map. Played every halo and halo 5 is by far the worst arena play. The whole flow of the game is so thrown off that spawn killing and moments like getting flaked happen way more often than not. To play halo 5 arena is to be frustrated. It’s just terrible design. Ha I’m salty I admit it!

^This^
for gods sake, please give us back that good motion sensor from the earlier halo games. How is it that the tracking radius of the sensor gets reduced from 25m ( halo ce) to god knows what garbage ( 2m perhaps) in halo 5.
Its because a lot of the maps are so small and everyone can move so fast that oftentimes someone will spawn somewhere else and be able to flank you even before you finish the encounter with his allies

I’ve jumped back into Arena the last week after taking a month or so off, and it feels like the spawning algorithms have changed since the last update. I’m ALWAYS spawning a million miles from my teammates. And inevitably running across a 2v1 situation while trying to reunite with them.
The point is, enemy players even if they are right behind you never show up on the sensor. It’s very frustrating because you can never counter a player who AR rushes you in the back as you can never see him coming. I have played CE on the comp and I have never once been flanked by a kamakazi AR.
I blame the garbage radar
“Why am I spawned next to the enemy and not near my teammates” is another annoying thing. This map control thing is getting really bad.
