I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spawned and died within 1-2 seconds. I’ve seen enemies spawn right in front of me and behind me. This happens even spawning on a flag. There is no way to tell if it’s safe to spawn on a teammate. BF4 didn’t have these spawning issues. I don’t know what’s worse, the spawns or the netcode.
Then there’s the other side of the coin where I’ve spawned on squad mates who are being attacked and I get a free kill to some unsuspecting enemy. That player may have been on a great kill streak and this is how it ends?!
At least you might be able to get a few rounds into infantry. But for me, it’s worse spawning in front of enemy tanks / artillery truck / (and the damn near invincible) cavalry unit.
I have the same problem most games, quite a few times it’s immediate on spawning. Other spawning issues I have is spawning facing the wrong direction (YES!! I want to attack my own team’s bases -sarcasm) and with the enemy at my 3, 6, and 9. Needless to say I die before I can face the right direction for attack. There is spawning in the open fields wth no cover - easy kill.
I would love to have some kind of choice for spawning also not having my gun reset to single shot would be awesome.
How come I never get where someone spawns in front of me for an easy kill? Oh well
Yeah this is annoying.
I feel like this is a problem particularly on the new maps. My feeling is the less linear the map, the tougher it is to avoid this kind of thing because danger can come from any direction. (Versus maps like Suez, Argonne which you can generally have safety on one side or the other assuming you hold 2 or more objectives)
It’s tough to nail down a real fix, you can’t have overly predictable and repeating spawn points because players could farm a spot all game. The real X factor is spawning on squad mates and the ability to communicate with them.
Also, to say it wasn’t an issue in bf4 is untrue in my opinion. It happened in 4 as well, to me probably about the same rate.
Yeah, and since the DLC there seems to be a huge slant to one side or the other in flag matches. constantly I will spawn myself on our Flag spawn and be shot by the other team within seconds because they are so deep into our side of the line. It sucks for the game overall, and is really not fun if you are on the team being dominated. Plus, players know the spawn areas now so they camp them. Wish they could create better spawn safe zones when not spawning on a teammate.
I haven’t run into that issue with flag spawns yet, but I admittedly rarely flag spawn. I think the game is geared towards squad spawn being the preferred go-to. It fits the team play mold better, and if you have communication with squad mate, it’s the best way really.
You don’t have to worry about spawns if u dont die

I prefer to team spawn as well, but when your side is getting dominated or not playing tactfully… team spawning will get you killed instantly. In those cases, flag spawning is the best option.
This was not a problem in BF4. Why are we going backwards? What idiot wanted to change the spawn system to one that’s much worse?
It went in my favour last night, I spawned on a team mate and someone from the opposing team spawned in front of me so I dropped him.
Spawn on your home base or a squad mate not under fire it’s not rocket science.
Clueless. I guess the hit detection is spot on for you too.
Not had any issues with it.
There is always a white knight.
Then you are not playing the game, white knight.
Thanks capt. obvious!
Err yes I am and by picking my spawns intelligently I’ve had no issues.
This person has been writing the “white knight” comment almost every time he/she responds.
It’s luck of the spawn… Good and Bad (:
My battlefield moments when in the spawn screen you see one of your flags are starting to be captured. When spawning on that flag to defend it the DICE spawn gods place you directly meters behind the unaware enemy trying to capture it. This happens both ways tho an when it does I usually rage an call eveybody a hacker including my dog an my 2 year old son. My wife makes me a vegimite sandwich while I take the kangaroo for walk/jump. Then when my tears stop making the screen to blurry for me to see I continue playing.
