I'm so tired of fighting a few people, killing them, only to have their teammates spawn around the corner. wtf bungie? I imagine they did it to try and get people use to Halo 3. In H3 matchmaking, you will spawn next to a teammate, however, typically they aren't in the heat of battle.

Here's an example. last night I was playing Gulch Wars on Coag. I had a sniper rifle in the rocket cave and 2 blue's were coming to kill me. I killed one of them, while battleing the other, another blue spawned in the cave (which I was out of by the plasmas). Then as I was battling the 3rd blue, another spawned on the ledge. needless to say I died.

It would be nice if someone from Bungie would enlighten me on things. Frequently my shields are regenerated before someone spawns close enough to start shooting at me again.

Does anyone else notice anything like this?

Yep, happened to me in like the last 8 sniper games. They have no problem spawning me in front of the enemy or right in the middle or a crossfire 19 freaking times but they wont spawn me near my team mates or somewhere safe, or somewhere where i wont get sniped from no where in the next milisecond

RIP Halo 2.

They didn't change the spawns, they're the same as they've always been.

In the past month or so the spawns DO seem to have been 'tarded up.

And I thought the beta has some questionable spawn points...

Once, I spawned right where that Tianemen Square guy was standing in front of the tank!

Other times:
1: Other teams guy spawns
2: I spawn right where he was standing
3: I assasinate him
4: More people from the other team spawn there
5: They shoot me


Another time, I spawned right in the open, about 30 yards away from a Sniper with no cover for a good 50 feet :/

That just happens to me in MM all the time in all game modes, except objective games. It's like Bungie is giving you your gun, putting you on the front line fresh out of basic, and saying "Here's your gun.. now go get some" Immediately after you arrive on the battlefield ready to kick some (you knoe what I mean) you get spawn killed. Also when opponents spawn right by you when you are fending off another is quite annoying. You're not alone dude.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

No, you're wrong. They haven't changed anything.

Spawns are determined by the .map files themselves. These maps are on your disc and have not been modified. So sorry, you're the wrong one.
