"Spawn points" are areas in a level where players spawn. In levels designed for team play, these points are usually grouped so that each team spawns in their own tight area of the level. Spawn points are typically reserved for one team at any time and often have the ability to change hands to the other team. Some games even allow spawn points to be created by players; using a beacon for example in "Battlefield 2142". "Odd" spawn points cause the player to be spawned as if actively entering the game world, rather than merely appearing there.
