Spawn Generator

[Ashen]

Outside of the original start spawn, how does the game determine where to spawn people? I understand that if one side ovetakes the other side of the map it will flip your spawn point. But I was curious what other factor went into it.

It seems I can sometime spawn camp people, even on big maps, and sometimes it happens to me. Sometimes I spawn in the middle of aircraft bombing or chopper spree. Quite often when I find what I think is a good vantage point or choke point to take advantage of it seems as if I am the spawn point and suddenly have guys popping up all around me.

Anybody have similar observations or maybe you know how what is taken into effect when spawning goes wild?

I think it just spawns you away from the enemies.

I think the maps must be divided into sections, with one or two spawns in each. It calculates which sections have the least amount of enemies and highest number of friendlies, and spawns you there.

I assume.

You spawn where the majority of your team is...

I find this one of the things that annoyed me the most in COD4 in the beginning along with the P90 (the super sniper/assault rifle/heavy machine gun with a thousand bullet per clip and a rof that would make a chopper gatling gun look like a toy gun). But if you think about this game as a weird Quake/Unreal deathmatch type FPS it makes sense. You kind of get used to it after playing a bit but it really made me mad because I'm sooo used to the Battlefield type of spawn.

This game would have been just perfect if it had a battlefield conquest type of game mode and vehicles. BF 3 anyone??
