Spawning: Difference between revisions

<center>''"Spawn Points" redirects here, for Forge objects and Forging, see [[Forge|here]]''</center>

In the [[Forge]] on [[Halo 3]], one may place spawn points where they wish, in which the arrow faces the direction in which they will face spawning. They can be moved just like normal objects in Forge, and though appear tangible in Forge, they do not show up in the actual game. Just because a spawn point is placed does not mean they will always spawn there; some combinations of a [[map]], a gametype, and a map's construction will cause players to spawn elsewhere (i.e. placing a box on all spawn points). In some [[Objective Based Games|objective games]], there is a different spawn point for each team. <ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>

*Though uncommon, there are different points in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] where the player may encounter an enemy while it is being spawned. An example of this is on the level [[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]] in some of the smaller circular interior rooms.  While battling the swarms of [[Unggoy|Grunt]]s and [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s in the rooms, if the player runs around one side or the other, he may encounter an [[Elite]] spawning. The reason for this delay in spawning is possibly that the game waits to spawn some enemies until others are killed, and the player running through the enemies to get away without having to fight them prompts the spawning of the Elite prematurely.  Note that this is not guaranteed to work every time, but it can be seen with some experimenting.

'''Spawning''' is furthermore used and applied in computer gaming in reference to installing a multiplayer-only version of a piece of software on a computer.
