MAPS
Normal

Our longstanding definition of a “unhealthy spawn” is any time a participant offers or receives harm inside 3 seconds of spawning. That is the cornerstone of constructing the spawn system and doesn’t change no matter map measurement or sport mode. We use this metric (amongst others) to trace unhealthy spawn charges for Black Ops 6, which means that for those who dealt or obtained harm inside 3 seconds in Weekend 1 of the Beta, we noticed it.
For example, our Core Moshpit entry with the best unhealthy spawn price in Week 1 was Domination on Skyline with a 4.2% price, which implies 4.2 out of each 100 spawns noticed somebody give or obtain harm inside that 3 second window. Whereas we’re typically pleased with our averages, we all know that a median additionally consists of worst instances, and we’ll proceed to evaluate all through the lifetime of this sport.
We additionally acknowledge that we every have our personal definition of what an excellent spawn or a foul spawn is, and that’s not all the time nearly fight conditions. For instance, did I spawn out too far on Hardpoint? Or why am I spawning on the identical facet of the map because the enemy workforce? The overarching spawn system and the location of spawns in a map are important to the move of the match. It’s our purpose with Black Ops 6, because it has been with each prior Black Ops sport, to have a predictable spawn system that leads to head-on engagements together with your opponents whereas offering ample time from respawn for choice making. This contains accounting for time earlier than stepping into an engagement earlier than you’re prepared for it.
For Weekend 2 of our Open Beta, we’ve adjusted normal spawn logic and have focused a number of maps with extra tuning adjustments with the purpose of bettering predictability and time to engagement. We all know we now have some work to do and can proceed to course of our knowledge, consider your suggestions, and play the sport with you all to attract our personal conclusions on the best way to proceed making optimistic progress.
