So, I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 lately-and it is awesome. Guns feels great, and its all very tense. However, there is one problem I have been having, and I'm not sure if it was the same in the original Call of Duty as I never owned the game and played it consistently, but the spawn points seem to be fairly bad. I kill a guy, and he spawn in the next 5 seconds and kills me-you know the spawn points are bad when you get the Revenge bonus a few moments after being killed.
 Do people agree with me, or have I just been lucky/unlucky?

yea, quite a few times i've seen on the killcam that they have respawned behind me right after i killed them

You sure that's not a Tactical Insertion?

I find myself killed more by getting spawned right in front of people and getting killed straight away.

" You sure that's not a Tactical Insertion? "

From what I've played, the spawn system is the thing in the multiplayer closest to being fuck-all broken.

Its pretty similar to Modern Warfare 1 I believe, with the spawn points designated based on teammate locations and field of vision.

" in my experience, spawning has been the same throughout all of the CoD titles...i don't remember CoD2 being so bad, but that was a long time ago.  MW2 spawning is GARBAGE, but with mapsizes as small as they are and everybody running around doing their own thing, i dont know if there is anything IW can do to fix that.  "

I really enjoy this game I just wanted to say that first but the spawn system is one of the worst POS systems put into a multiplayer game, its really really bad I cannot tell you how many times I have spawned to a facefull of Chopper gunner or spawning with an enemy behind me, Fuck I even feel bad when I spawn and there is an enemy right there not looking and I knife his ass I mean its good for me but its pretty shitty.

Well it comes down to what mode you are playing, as well as the maps being relatively small and respawns often being instant. People go for "payback" kills all the time. Gotta make sure you move, or simply play HC Deathmatch or other modes like Demolition.

Highrise seems to has the worst spawn points.
I've tried a few times going into the building on one side and all the enemies are spawning in front of me and I killed 8 guys within 30 secs and felt a little guilty about it.

It seems a little better than the spawn facing a wall looking up probs COD4 had (or spawning in your own airstrike).
 
But one thing that really ticks me off is the reload/knife motions after you spawn if you were doing that when killed.....especially if you have a light machine gun.....grrr i say....GRRRRRRR!!!!!
