That seems to be a recurring problem among recent games. Call of Duty 4's spawn mechanism is a bitch. That's my number one complaint with the game, but it's not game breaking.

i kind of like the spawning system in cod4. ive spawned a few times with a bunch of enemies near me. i pulled the trigger first XD. i just hate spawning far away and then having to walk all the way back to the battle.
