Horrible spawns in BF2042
Why are we always spawned out in the open? Just now, I spawned in directly in the line of fire of an enemy. What the actual F?? WHY do we not spawn behind cover???? Who came up with this &$&#%??

Battlefield spawns have always been problematic. Spawning in the open with no cover for 50 meters in any direction is poor map design. There are many things that the devs ignored in each and eavy game, but it is now all catching up to them and the player numbers show it.

BF3 in the beginning was the worst. They just rotated across fixed spots, so all people did was camp near those respawn spots and picked players off.
I think BF4 had the cleanest of them all. Followed by BF1 though there were many times I spawned only to get bayonetted from a solider busting through a door.
- @VBALL_MVP There were plenty of spawns in BF1 that could be camped.
@VBALL_MVPI would not agree. BF4 has the same awful spawning as in BF2042, only the maps were better, it is mostly just a matter of luck.
BF1 and BFV had the best spawns, not perfect, but much better than BF4 and 2042.I gotta disagree, I don't recall getting spawn-killed nearly as much (like not even close) in BF4 as I do in BF2042.
Yeah. Emplaced spawns ought to always be behind some decent cover, from, three sides so you can changeout fittings etc. Spawns on the go, need to take into account projectiles in motion or at least add 5-7 seconds invulnerbility (with your own weapon doing no damage in that time either). AT the moment I cannot spawn in on teammates in firefights because they are "in combat" but I CAN spawn into an exploding tank or a patch of burning asphalt and die instantly.
Well done, that's actually very constructive criticism.
