Modern Warfare 3 Spawn Logic Tops List of Problems

Modern Warfare 3 Spawn Logic Top List of Problems

You won't have to play many rounds of Modern Warfare 3 to join the growing group of groaning FPS players that are wondering how or why they just got killed by someone spawning right next to them. The spawn logic system has also caused quite a problem for "spawn campers" or teams of players that work together to game the logic system in Modern Warfare 3 to trap players in certain segments of a map. In an extreme case, one gamer racked up what he believes to be a "world record" with 144 kills, all from trapping the enemy team in their spawn. (*Note World Record was for Douchebaggery)

A new Modern Warfare 3 patch releasing today will address these issues. You can expect the download around 2AM Pacific, and can expect it to change the logic behind the spawning system in the game. Robert Bowling bid adieu to "Revenge Spawns" via Twitter.

January will also see Modern Warfare 3's first map pack hit Xbox Live for Elite Users. Specific timing of the PS3 release hasn't been announced, but some think that PS3 elite players will get the content at or around the same time as Xbox users.

Spawning in MW3 is like playing russian roulette, sometimes you get lucky and most of the time you spawn into AGM’s, bullets or nades which is pretty wack. It needs to be fixed

Yea thats probably the only problem with mw3 right now is the spawning :p

  and unbalanced guns, and overpowered killstreaks(congrats on your 8 kills in a row, heres 12 free ones!). if the maps werent so small it wouldnt really matter where you spawned because you could spawn on the other side of the map where nobody is.

  That Guy seems to really hate Cod. He spends all his time trolling all the MW3 posts with reasons why the game sucks. Cods alright, I prefer Halo, where its more about shooting skill/strategy.

I agree with the new spawn logic fix, but revenge spawns? Are they TRYING to remove skill from the game? I remember back in the days of games like Halo 3 where noobs were noobs. Back then if you weren’t good at the game, you got destroyed. Now noobs are given all sorts of boosters like deathstreaks and “revenge spawns” to make the game more accessible. Battlefield is guilty of this too. I want games to be skill based again.
- That Guy
  wait for counter strike.
AIRFREAK
wait nevermind I read that wrong they’re taking out revenge spawns. Good.

^How embarrassing

3…2…1…BATTLEFIELD 3! Mwahahahaha, That is your answer…. not really cuz the same thing happens in that game too on Team Deathmatch! lol
AIRFREAK
Yeah BF3 tdm is broken for competitive gaming too.
Asymmetrical maps

dynamic spawns

NOT a good environment for competitive gaming. Does counter strike have a release date yet?
- AIRFREAK
  With the partial exception of Tehran Highway and Caspian border, both of which seem to have more resistant spawns and have a slightly more symmetrical layout.

I love team death match, was on Caspian Boarder last night and it seemed to spawn us perfectly on each side of the road (usually TDM everyone spawns everywhere). It was a blast and regardless what anyone says TDM is a lot of fun and a knife kill heaven.

Spawning in this game has become a joke, impossible to get a good kill streak, maps are just too small
Heavenswarrior121
Overpowered kill-streaks? What are you talkin about? I havent herd one person complain about the kill-streaks till now,it sounds like you just die alot lol all three kill well really point streaks system are good..atleast its kinda impossible to get the nuke on mw3 the moab needs 25 straight points,only been nuked once since the game came out and its pretty nice lol they did a great job on that part
josh
The killstreaks just suck. The idea in general is stupid. And no, I don’t die alot lol.
“all three kill well really point streaks system are good”
Nooo not really. I’ve played as the support streak system, and you basically get a bunch of pointless crap. There’s no reason to play as the support streak dealio over the assault package, because the streak unlocks you get are madly worse in comparison. The one that gives you perks as killstreaks doesn’t really change anything up enough for me to care to have another underpowered perk over a ridiculous killstreak,.
And yeah, MOD3s spawns suck. Since MOD2 the spawn system has blown, MOD1 it was acceptable at least, but at this day, that’s just stupid. No choice for spawning, no option to advert getting spawn killed.
Like I said dude, I can get a high KDR all day, it doesn’t stop the multiplayer from being boring and suckish.
Getting a 9 kill streak w/e to get a chance to fly a Chopper Gunner for like, 60 seconds, is SHIT compared to actually being able to fly planes, choppers, ALL THE TIME in BF3. I could shiv a git about a 12 Killstreak Huey you can fly over barely any large amount of ground.
Son, if you’d played BF3, or even BF: BC2 (Which I’d rather play over ANY cod) you would realize just how cheap and lackluster the overall design philosophy of MW3 is in comparison
Killstreaks = stupid and pointless.
Even though its a game, if anyone should technically get Air Support, w/e it may be, it should be the LOSING TEAM, not the team with three dudes who just got 15 Killstreaks.
It just perpetuates the progression of the game. Once a team takes an early lead, it’s over. Simply b/c the game shits on the losing team by offering them COMPLETELY POINTLESS deathstreaks, while the wrecking team gets oodles of support.
WTF, it pisses me off when my team is winning 6700 to 1700 because the way the game is designed is stupid. I feel bad the people on the other team have to sit through that utter crap,
BTW way to have the same crappy loud ass menu music since 2007.
Whey to go.
Q
Yea killstreaks are not overpowered. Your probably not shooting them down. Yea if you don’t shoot them down they fuck you up. But u can shoot any killstreak down very easily.
reality
Removing the lag compensation would do wonders, I am tired of being at a disadvantage because of someone elses’ shitty ass connection, removing the killstreaks, and creating the ability to have someone die if they camp in the same spot for over 45sec when in TDM, as well as losing exp. points for camping. The game would be so much better if the community wasn’t full of bitchbloods.
Xsniper
why not fix the 1 shot sniper kill with the 50cal
JACK- THIS1
Josh just admit that you die a lot why else would use support killstreak. The only time I use support is If i have died 4 to 5 straight in a row.

I love MW3! My favorite part is the guns and I just found this great place that carries a bunch of them from the game http://www.airsplat.com/airsoft-video-games.htm and they look very realistic, just like the guns from the game.
