Call of Duty pros slam Vanguard spawns amid CDL Major II controversy ActivisionCall of Duty League pros including Scump, Attach, and Slasher have blasted spawns in Vanguard as they continue to constitute major talking points at the CDL Major 2 in Minnesota. Call of Duty League fans have become accustomed to the League\u2019s scheduling now we are into its third season; weekly qualifiers build-up to Major tournaments wherein significant prize money and CDL points are up for grabs. We are well underway with CDL Major II, taking place as the Minnesota ROKKR\u2019s Home Series. It has thrown up plenty of surprises, with Major I winners OpTic Texas going home in 5-6th and an incredibly strong Toronto Ultra lineup going home joint last. However, despite it being nearly 6 months since Vanguard\u2019s launch, plenty of people in the CoD esports scene continue to lament the game\u2019s spawns, a trend that has intensified at Major II, with some truly bizarre scenarios cropping up in vital matches. Frustrations with the Vanguard spawn system were raised during OpTic Texas\u2019 elimination match with the Florida Mutineers. A clip from the game quickly surfaced on Twitter, showing OpTic wipe Florida off the map, only for the Mutineers to spawn directly behind the OpTic players. Speaking about the clip, CoD legend Scump commented sarcastically: \u201cJust gotta read that I guess.\u201d Echoing Scump\u2019s feelings was ex-teammate Nadeshot, who now owns the Los Angeles Thieves CDL franchise. He joked that Vanguard\u2019s spawn logic \u201cdeserves a prison sentence.\u201d They were joined by ROKKR\u2019s Attach, who sarcastically thanked whoever invented squad spawns before saying that in Vanguard \u201c[You] get a squad wipe and you spawn them at a random location.\u201d Get a squad wipe and you spawn them at a random location on the map! Cheers \u2014 MN Attach (@Attach) April 3, 2022 Rounding off the frustrations was LAG\u2019s SlasheR, who tweeted a still image of the Florida spawn with a thumbs up, again tongue-in-cheek. When a team is killed entirely, standard spawn logic dictates they spawn back where they came from, meaning the team with the kills is rewarded and can consolidate their position. The OpTic vs Mutineers match, though, saw Florida flip spawns despite being wiped. OpTic were naturally caught off guard and appeared punished, despite actually racking up kills. Fans and players will be hoping Sledgehammer make quick adjustments but, with months elapsed since Vanguard\u2019s release, perhaps we\u2019ll just have to accept the seemingly odd spawns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
