4. Spawns Are A Mess

One of the most obvious areas where Modern Warfare pales in comparison to a Battlefield game is the atrocious state of the spawns at present.

The larger scale fights invite arguably the worst spawns in the history of the Call of Duty franchise, though even on smaller modes such as Team Deathmatch and Domination, it's not uncommon to spawn comically far away from objectives or enemies, spawn in the same spot repeatedly, or even spawn mere inches away from the other team and die immediately.

Thankfully this is at least one aspect of the game that Infinity Ward can reasonably tweak in the remaining weeks before release, because at the moment it leads to intermittent frustration regardless of the mode.
