Spawning facing a random direction is killing in Redacted

Spawning in 2042 is already prolly as worse as it gets but in Redacted with the map being nearly mirrored it's so stupidly confusing when you spawn in and the game vaguely shows you where you spawn but it's actually not very accurate, so all it does is throw you off even more. And since you kinda wanna use a zoomed in minimap that doesn't help you get your bearings as you spawn.

- The camera zooms in on the map when spawning is not a clear indication of where you spawn and what direction, it's a limited scripted animation always showing the same.

- Direction you face after spawning is completely random

- You never spawn where you want to on a flag

- Sometimes even spawn on a different flag right at the edge

This is kinda very important if you make a CQC infantry only map, quickest thing they can do to help with the issue is have the minimap be zoomed out max for 1-2 seconds before it goes back to the prefered setting you have.

    Can we have a balanced for the map itself the RU side has unfair advantage they cap their flags quicker and get to the middle of the map before the US even caps B

    @doubleome Spawns are horrible in this game at times.

    1 tip for recons; the direction you face when placing your spawn beacon is also the direction players will face who spawn on the beacon. So try avoiding placing it in a corner facing the walls.

    I place mine behind the biggest tree or rock I can find and have that behind me, so they get at least some protection.

    But of course with the ridiculously screwed up Net code in this game that doesn't always help, dying when established FAR behind cover. Getting headshots when I wasn't even close. If they want to make these sorts of small player count CQC modes work, they have to fix it.

    And by the way, the spawns in this game need more than "Some" attention, they need completely re-thinking.

    Remember the good old days when you had a few seconds spawn protection, so you could at least get to some cover before the whole opposing squad you just spawned in front of mowed you down ?

    @80uwjx4m1chc Remember when you could actually see what your teammate was doing before spawning in? That alone would solve many spawn issues.

    @80uwjx4m1chc Spawn protection was the dumbest thing in existence tbh. Why should someone that decides to spawn in the heat of battle be at any advantage whatsoever?

    Spawn protection when spawning on your base sure, but not on teammates or beacons.
