spawnpoints

Where players appear

Spawnpoints are designated locations in video games where players or characters appear when entering a game, respawning after death, or loading a new area.

The term comes from gaming's use of spawn to mean the appearance or generation of entities.

Strategic placement of spawnpoints affects gameplay balance: The enemy team keeps camping our spawnpoint.

Also spelled as two words: spawn points.
