Suggestion for spawning mechanic in standalone

[Keudn 8]

After watching JackFrags interview Rocket he said he doesn't know yet how you are going to be able to spawn into the game and if you will be able to choose where you spawn. A suggestion I have is to have a menu before the player spawns where they can choose from some major cities on the map and important locations to spawn at, but the catch is that there is a small chance of spawning outside the city and the farther away from the original spawn point the lower the chance is. Say for example I wanted to spawn in Elektro. I have a fairly good chance of spawning in or near to Elektro, but there is a smaller chance of spawning away from it, and the farther away from Elektro the smaller the chance is to spawn there. In real life you get to choose (usually) the area you want to live in, but where you are exactly when the zombie outbreak happens is pretty much random. You could be picking your kids up from school and zombies show up, you could be visiting a friend in another city, possibly on the other side of the map. The majority of the time, however, most people spend around their home and don't travel much, but everyone goes to another city or town or just out into the wilderness to camp or do whatever it is that people like to do, and that could be where you end up when the zombie outbreak happens. This spawning mechanic closely mimics how people move about in real life and allows people to choose roughly where they spawn when they die but still allows for randomness to make them end up not exactly where they want to be.

I don't think that the players are inhabitants of Chernarus, that's why they wash up at a random spot on the beach.

I don't like the idea of picking where you spawn, as all players will do is body rush, and I like the idea of you not knowing where you'll spawn, and having to work with what you got. Instead of having the ability to pick the best area (usually loot wise).

I would prefer if we spawn the way we do now. At a random place along the coast. I like to gear up, hell it's half the fun really. Most people if they had the choice would just choose Cherno or Electro, grab a military gun from one of the firehouses or tents, and run up to NWAF.
