MAPS

Common

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 regardless of map dimension or recreation mode. We use this metric (amongst others) to trace unhealthy spawn charges for Black Ops 6, which means that in case you dealt or acquired harm inside 3 seconds in Weekend 1 of the Beta, we noticed it.

For instance, our Core Moshpit entry with the best unhealthy spawn fee in Week 1 was Domination on Skyline with a 4.2% fee, which implies 4.2 out of each 100 spawns noticed somebody give or obtain harm inside that 3 second window. Whereas we’re usually proud of our averages, we all know that a mean additionally consists of worst circumstances, and we’ll proceed to evaluate all through the lifetime of this recreation.

We additionally acknowledge that we every have our personal definition of what a superb 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 aspect of the map because the enemy workforce? The overarching spawn system and the position of spawns in a map are vital to the circulation of the match. It’s our objective with Black Ops 6, because it has been with each prior Black Ops recreation, to have a predictable spawn system that leads to head-on engagements along with your opponents whereas offering ample time from respawn for determination making. This consists of accounting for time earlier than moving 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 objective of enhancing predictability and time to engagement. We all know now we 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 right way to proceed making constructive progress.
