Subject: Respawn are getting ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

When you play snipers on a new map like Tombstone you just get spawn killed and it has made me not want to play this stupid game any more. When ever you die you just keep dying and dying and there is no point in playing. No matter what strategie you have if you die you just get spawn kill its so stupid it needs to be fix. Where you can spawn behide cover or something of that matter, not right next to the other team where they can kill you. When slayer is played you spawn all the way across the map while your team mates are dying and there team just keep spawning in the same place so your team dies so much faster. In Halo 3 you dont have to worry about anything like that because everyone has the own base. Im not saying make every thing like Halo 3 just the important stuff like RESPAWNING!

the new maps have the worst spawn points i have ever seen. Pair that with the fact that you sometimes get SMG starts and they are obviously the maps that everyone hates.

just with you writing that i rembered a spawn i had on Tomestone where i spawn on the ledge on one of the maps perimeter walls. it was strange to spawn so elevated and basically open to fire.

Totally agree, tombstone has some of the worse spawns ever, espically on team snipers and team swat (classic).

I do agree that the game can become very frustrating with spawns. Some of my most annoyed moments with this are in 2v2 on Sanctuary. All 4 players were fighting at Blue Base and our team killed both of their team, leaving us both shieldless. Then they respawn right on top of us, kill my teammate and I manage to, with the Sword, kill both of them. My teammate spawned at Red base and both enemies were, yet again, right on top of me. It was one of those times where I slung my oh so conveniently wireless controller through the air in frustration lol..

Even so, despite our frustration, first of all we have to realize that, with the exceptions of odd inexplicable spawns not unlike the one I mentioned above, the game does try. Take Lockout for example. If both of a 2v2 team are on the Sniper Tower, the opponents could spawn Library, BR Tower, Lift, or Under Glass. If, however, one of the 2v2 pair ventures over to the BR tower, the spawns are severely limited. Between going from the Sniper tower to the BR Tower, you were presented to the Spawn Program as a danger when you were hopping across the middle, therefore the spawner is no longer going to spawn you Under Glass or in the front of library. If you reach Top BR quickly enough, it will also not spawn the other team in the back room of the library, or the lower floors of BR Tower. Basically this is going to leave the airlift. Most good/excellent players are very good at realizing what the spawn program does and will be staring at the Airlift's exist to the elbow-shaped ramps and the exist toward Under Glass. Therefore, as soon as so step out and get sniped in the head, it isn't necessarily that the spawn program screwed you, it was trying, just the players took advantage of it.That, however, will do nothing to calm the frustration, believe me, I know.

Furthermore, to change the spawn points on the map, Bungie would have to edit the map itself, ruling out all but the maps released via downloadable content, because after Bungie had edited the map's spawn points, they would have to release the altered maps for download. The Xbox/360 does not have a DVD Burner and cannot therefore change any of the original files on the disc. And even to think that Bungie WOULD re-release the hard-drive maps, is absurd. They're not going to re-edit them just to suit the spawn-point crying of us, the players, ESPECIALLY, with a project as massive as Halo 3 on their hands. So even if the spawn points are far, far beyond the point of annoying, it's just something we're going to have to deal with until Halo 3. They're not going to get any better before then.

My two cents.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100%. Although it is nice when the spawning works in your favor. The worst is when you respawn next to a ledge and jump trying to avoid being hit and commit suicide by falling off lol. It does need a few little fixes but all in all its not worth hating the game. As soon as you spawn just jump or crouch and move, maybe you will make the other guy/girl miss and that way you will know where thier shot came from. -=0/ ( I had two cents laying around so I wanted to add them in also)

Gangsta Cheif, I would like to take this moment to congratulate you on what was both a well thought out, and well placed post. Nicely done sir =)

Lol, in all seriousness I don't care for them much either, but here isn't really the place to talk about that one. As for the spawn thing, just thought I'd mention I played a game on Lockout a moment ago, and got killed by a guy with the sword in the bottom of the airlift. I spawned there and was killed by him SIX times in a row. Things like that are the glitches that I was speaking of as being annoying. For the most part, though, I'd have to agree with whoever it was above here that said, "It isn't worth hating the game." Completely true, it's far too good of a game to hate because of our relentless nitpicking.

"The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup but knowing Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

I have to say the single worst spawning is CTF SWAT on Midship. Hands down the worst. I have gotten used to the new maps. While they are not the best spawn points they are not nearly as bad as Midship on CTF.

For the most part the spawns are decent, but there are truly frustrating moments. I once spawned in the path of a flying plasma grenade ( which admittedly was beyond the game's control), or the ground on Tombstone during sniper matches etc.

Yeah, I am taking a break from Halo I am starting to hate it so much unfortunately....I agree, these new maps are terrible and I hate starting off with a dumb SMG. Ppl should use "random" start off weapons that way is the other guy has a sword and kills you, you may come back with a shotgun.
