I have know idea how a spawn is determind once you die. It is completely irregular for me one game and then consistant the next. The worst experience i have with spawns is during double team. Double team has some terrible games as it is but when you are playing a capture the flag on elongation, you have killed both there teamates, stolen the flag and are well on your way home and they both spawn in front of you...well thats just -blam!-y. Funny thing is i never seem to have that advantage awarded to me. Then the same thing happens against us and i of course spawn in the depth of my base while they are already half way to theres. Another odd situation is weapon dominant double team games such as on ivory tower. Sometimes the other team just instantly spawns with incredible weapon advantage. You kill them, finally after dying by the rocket, snipe, and sword way to much, and they spawn directly behind you and gain weapon control again...and you of course spawn across the map... Then again the reverse can happen to you, i am just curious to why there isnt some sort of checking system that checks where everyone is in the map and spawns you occordingly to that rather then these incredible advantageous spawns.

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

I would add another choice to your poll. Spawning in the middle of a fire fight. On Lockout I have spawned more than once in the room between the two sniper towers. You don't even get enough time to move.

do you like muffins?

i hate it when you get killed and thrown to the other end of the map,espcially in Slayer when your opponent kills you and they are beatin you by one point,then you get thrown to the other end of the map.30 seconds left all your opponent has to do is stay away and they are safe.thats just -blam!

I have the worst luck with spawns. Once i spawned by my team mate and someone shot a rocket at us and i spawned where the rocket was going after he shot the rocket. One time someone just threw a random sticky and then 1 sec after i spawned i died, i got stuck before i could move.

The two maps I seem to have the worst luck with spawns are Tombstone and Burial Mounds. Too many times have I spawned in the line of sight of an opponent, who proceeds to whip out his sniper and kill me before I can reach the nearest cover. Another thing I hate is when in motion sensor-less games, after checking behind me to make sure no one is coming up behind me for an easy assassination, the second I turn around, an enemy spawns behind me and gets a free assassination. Granted, it happens rarely, but it is annoying as hell when it does happen.

And hell, I've spawned directly on top of a live grenade before.

Ive spawned right in the beginning of a map, away from my team and even worse, close to my opposing team. It was team snipers so i was dead pretty quick. I also have the worst recored of spawns on Relic like spawning three times right near where i died (and right near my killers) then spawning all the way across the map. But sometimes i get a good spawn like right behind my opposing team.

I think that the halo gods hate me and i know there are no godds in halo 2 and i know i spelled gods wrong but i always seem to spawn in an area where the sniper if there is one always can get me and one time i got really P.O.'d and i sapwn right infront of the guy so spawning in a battle zone and away from my team are my least favorite spawn points
