A New Problem to Discuss: Crucible Spawning

This game has a few issues, but this one gets me just as much as respawn lag in PVP. I haven't seen it mentioned here before so I might be blowing smoke. Spawning in crucible can be awful. Some maps will spawn you right in the cross-hairs of a guardian trying out his new Icebreaker across the map, when you could easily spawn three feet away and be safe (twilight gap heavy spawn looking at you). Other times you'll spawn a microwaves throw away from a bladedancer. Countless matches I've spawned at 'C' just to melee someone about to cap the zone. I've got a compilation of the best(worst) ones that have happened to me here. The final one is crazy. Anyone else a bit ticked at this?

  • They're retaliation spawns, not respawns. They constantly out the guy you killed right next to you. Can't count how many times I've died because the same guy I just killed was able to spawn and kill me before my shields even had time to recharge.

  • This seems to be a running problem with Bungie...Halo 2 through Reach had the same issues: spawn killers finding great spots to simple sit and wait for people to literally spawn and shoot. One would think after 15+ years of making MP games like this that the company would have figured out a way to stop such things, but alas the answer must still elude them....

  • Yeah, I sometimes find myself spawning in the way of someone's super, sniper scope, or they're right next to me with a shotgun/heavy

  • Yes, but it sometimes works the other way. Got taken out on Rusted Lands behind B when my team had (foolishly) capped all three zones. Got killed by a Warlock that NEVER showed up on my radar. It was like he just sprung up out of the ground behind me. I can only guess that he spawned there, and killed me before I even had any warning he was there.

  • My favorite is Burning Shrine, sometimes I snipe people sitting in A from the hallway staircase on the c side. I love it when I head shot someone in A and then they spawn directly into my sniper cross hairs again... I literally killed a guy seven times in a row that way one time, I was laughing so hard I recorded it and everything.

    • For all but one spawn (the little pool next to c in the cave on Maat mons) you spawned exactly where I'd want to spawn. Right on top of people trying to take your base. Imagine how pissed you'd be if every time you respawned they'd put you on top of an enemy control point instead of one of your own or halfway across the map where you can do nothing to prevent your control point from being taken. On those last 4 spawns your team had no bases so placing you between b and c is actually a good idea. If then you would actually jump left or right instead of straight towards the heavy machine gun you would have a fighting chance. Same as with most of your spawns if you land 3 shots with your hawkmoon and don't kill someone you need to aim better. So as much as your luck sucks for spawning, dying so many times and then spawning on top of someone you need to practice a bit more in taking someone out quickly and duck for cover. You had the element of surprise on each and every one of them and you failed to utilize it fully.

    • I've been playing for a while and this issue is fairly new. I have also seen a huge increase in spawn kill.

    • The spawning can be a bad. I once got killed by a guy with a GH and spawn right in front of him again. I hate especially when you join a game in progress and get shot/supered before you are able to move....

    • In the beginning of Iron Banner this didn't seem to be an issue; but as the week wore on, it was a real problem.

      I'll be honest, I manipulate the spawning in blind watch to farm kills. It only works in rumble but I really want my 100 wins (5 to go!) Clarification, you can run a triangle between three spawn points and rack up kills

    • Noticed more in IB, where i spawned into a match late--didnt mind that team i was placed on was getting crushed--and before i even take a step i get hammered by rockets. On the respawn it was a little better--took 3 three steps to a waiting bladedancer.

    • I have the occasional bad spawn in Crucible, but the lag is still worse than anything else.
