Call of Duty: Ghosts spawns being improved soon, eSports rule patches incoming

Call of Duty: Ghosts developer Infinity Ward has outlined a batch of incoming tweaks to the shooter's competitive eSports rule-set, along with an update to fix a few spawn problems.

The changes and rules were posted on the Call of Duty forum where Infinity Ward's senior community manager Tina Palacios wrote, "We'd like to announce some updates we plan to roll out as soon as possible to support competitive Call of Duty based on your feedback. These will appear as both hot fixes and TUs in the coming weeks alongside planned changes to the areas of Ghosts affecting all players, such as spawns.

"As a guiding principle, development priority is assigned to those issues which we deem to have the largest immediate impact or those affecting the broadest group of players."
