Spawns
This isn’t exactly an issue new to the Call of Duty franchise, but one that has been addressed in past games, and will hopefully be adjusted before Infinite Warfare sees its full release. Part of dying in a multiplayer match in any Call of Duty game is having the ability to magically respawn so that you can try again. The ins and outs of how this wonderful ability works is never quite explained, but it keeps fights interesting, and doesn’t leave players sitting out for the duration of a match.
Unfortunately, the only thing worse than having to sit out a match is being spawned in only to instantly die. Right now, during the Beta at least, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s respawn system can cause a few head-scratching moments. I’ve seen many players spawn directly in front of me out of nowhere, only to have them die by my gun. I too have befallen this same puzzling fate. This is definitely one of the more frustrating components of shooting games, one that still has a few kinks to work out, but other games in the franchise have made them somewhat manageable to the point where you can rarely blame the system for screwing you over. Hopefully that’s in the plans for this latest entry as well.
