You can make a game fast-paced without making it based upon pure luck (Connections and Spawns). If the goal is to allow people to spawn close to each other, then they need to tone down the weapon damage so that people don't die before the game even updates them that they've been shot.

The problem isn't people complaining, the problem is how the companies handle the complaint. They take it too far towards each end of the spectrum, instead of finding that nice balance in the middle.

For instance, in MW2, shotguns were too strong for Secondary Weapons. So they make them primary weapons, but in doing so, make them weak enough that they should be secondary weapons. If they'd have left them with the MW2 stats (maybe slightly toned down on weapons like the Spas), then everything would've been great.

But I digress. The spawn system sucks in this game, and it needs to be fixed. Hell, I was playing a match on Mission at one point, and we had A and B Flag captured, and despite most of our team being between A & B flag, the game actually spawned 2 enemies inside our spawn point, and gave them some easy kills.
