What really causes the spawns ?

These map are big. The only thing is the spawns are really bad in this game. Like OP said it leads to beat downs and no scopes (that I really don't mind cause it takes more skills.) But what I really hate is when everyone is set up on the outskirts of the
maps and then getting spawned right in the middle where it is open season. Then there really isn't much you can do about that.

MW3 The only really tried one time to fix the spawns and that was when people were spawning on top of each other. Now that the spawns are what they call "OKAY" they dont give two.

The spawn points is what is really frustrating if they fix that I'll like it

Well I have glowstone in the floor and on the ceiling, and I don't have any torches, cause like TFrost said, they take up spawning space, and I blocked off all of the other caves, so no other mobs can come in/spawn. What are vertical spawning pads?

In regards to spawn it's really tricky BUT can be predicted. As far as someone asking regarding what is the 50yard line you cannot cross? that really depends on what game game mode you are playing.



Here are just some tips regarding spawn points depending on the game mode -



CTF - Summit



If you start off Top spawn by red (That is the red building with the plow) if you pull the flag make sure you run it in Summit side (goat path). Enemies will spawn either L or bottom serv. It's up to your teammates to cover the "cut offs"



Dom - Firing Range



When you Spawn A side (Back of 2) enemies will most likely spawn bottom Firing Range or Mess hall. (One thing you never want to do is block Mess Hall spawn as you will have your teammates spawn at Mess Hall.



TDM - Firing Range



Major Spawns : Bathroom / Mess Hall / Back 2 / Firing Range - Major tip on this one is do not ADS through point because most likely the computer will not spawn the enemies their. Also, in TDM whether it is HC or Core it is crucial that you are aware on where
everyone on your team is on the map cause this will affect where the enemies are spawning.



TIP: Once in awhile press you back button to check where your teammates are in the map as it will give you a general idea on where the other teams are.
