Since the release of CoD Vanguard, one of the biggest criticisms from the community has been the poor spawns. The latest update is supposed to finally improve this – yet the players are not satisfied. They demand even more improvements for the entire game. MeinMMO tells you more.
On the evening of April 12, Sledgehammer Games, the developer of CoD Vanguard, introduced a long-awaited improvement to the WW2 shooter.
After some test playlists and a survey, they have adjusted the spawn system in the game. On Twitter, the developers write that “with your feedback and the data we were able to analyze from the game, the spawn adjustments have proven to be an improvement”:
These changes were previously only implemented in experimental playlists. Now they have been rolled out across the entire game.
However, the community is not satisfied. On social media, they complain that the spawns are still poor – and that the game has many other issues. They are calling for significantly more changes in the game.
Vanguard has “the worst spawn system in CoD history”
What is the problem? Players who have been killed in CoD Vanguard often spawn too close to an enemy for their next life. This frequently leads to a “death spiral,” where one death leads directly into the next, leaving the player unable to properly defend themselves.
Even before the release of CoD Vanguard, the spawn system was one of the biggest points of criticism. Players referred to it as “likely the worst spawn system in CoD history” (via reddit).
This clip from the perspective of a user suffering from poor spawns illustrates how bad it can be:
Especially on small maps like Das Haus and Shipment, the spawns are an incredibly annoying problem. According to the developers, the latest update is supposed to help here, but the players are not convinced.
How is the community reacting? There is hardly any praise for the change in the community. Instead, there is a lot of disbelief that anything has actually improved:
- @darryljoyzce1 says on Twitter: “Yeah, no, nothing has improved. The spawns for Das Haus and Shipment are still completely messed up.”
- @JONNYTEE2010 says: “What a joke, I’m literally playing 4v4 on Dome and still spawning in front of or behind people, every update makes it worse.”
- @freebandztrev writes: “lol try harder, I’m still a monster and destroying people at spawn.”
The developers’ analysis tools apparently show that the latest update is supposed to have brought improvements. But skeptical comments like these from the community reveal that not much has changed for the fans during gameplay.
There is also a lot of criticism about many other aspects of the game. Instead of praise for the changes, players are demanding improvements for latency issues, weapon balancing, or map rotations.
Cheating is also a major point of criticism. Here, the community desires a better solution, as unfair cheaters are present even at the highest level. Recently, a well-known player was exposed:
