This video shows how much mw2's spawn system sucks. This happens to me all the time.

Did anyone actually look at the minimap in his video though? noone was covering the rear and no team mates were anywhere near the area behind him! WTF does he expect? And there is at least one other person there with him facing and shooting at the same stuff he is. When a group are all aiming at the same shit competing for kills, and not watching their backs, thats just stupid.

I would have been out of there, or covering the area behind him while he keeps his facing, regardless of whether we had the nearby flag or not. If I dont see teammates behind me on the map, I get paranoid!

Not to say that the spawn system cant be horrible at times but those guys would have been nailed anyway.

Is there any game out there with the size / relative complexity of MW2s maps with a good spawn system? I don't play many multiplayer FPS games these days but I wonder if it actually possible in an instant respawn game mode, without changing the way the game is played or size of the maps. I had very similar experiences in CoD4 with weird spawning so it doesn't seem to be unique to MW2.

Only other I play is BC2 which has maps large enough that you generally dont have to worry about spawn camping (though it can happen) and also makes spawn areas inaccessible on some Rush maps. And Counter-strike which, like SnD in MW2, you don't respawn during the round anyway.

CoD4 was much much better than MW2. That kind of spawn has never happened to me playing COD4. Ever. In MW2 it happens once every other game or so.

Nibbles does make a valid point. They were gonna get raped. I'm always worried about people covering my back. And yes, I'm super paranoid when I'm alone. I'm still paranoid when I've got some teammates near me, because sometimes they're so incompetent they let the guy go through all of them unnoticed, or fail to tell me that anything's going on. but the spawn system in this game is just ridiculous at times.

the spawn is fail, yet another reason to hate mw2
yet so many people play this game =P
nibbles is correct, but the spawn is still sucky.
