I played in the alpha, and after nearly a year of Modern Warfare, I was pleasantly surprised how good the spawns were in Black Ops Cold War. I was rarely killed within moments of spawning, and I was not killed by players who had just spawned on top of me.
Then we got an announcement that spawns would be adjusted to help players "start closer to the action."
I believe that one of the most frustrating moments in an MP shooter is immediately dying off of spawn, or being killed by players who have just spawned on top of you. I'm not elite at this game, but I'm okay, and I do not mind it taking me an additional five seconds of running to get back into the action.
In any case, here is some (anecdotal) evidence that the spawns in this game could use adjusting (please enjoy my pain, because it is kind of funny).
(Edit: I know I shouldn't have reloaded at that exact moment. Also, I like the game overall; I have some complaints, but the MP is generally more enjoyable than MW.)
