All the Spawn Locations in MW2 DMZ
MW2 DMZ gives players no choice about where they spawn, but it is important to know where you are and how dangerous your location is.
MW2 DMZ all spawn locations are not created equally, as you will quickly learn after a few matches. MW2 DMZ drops players onto a large, open map with some specific spawn points dotted around. These spawn locations are spread across the map, with some being in more advantageous positions than others. Here are all of the MW2 DMZ spawn locations.

Which ones are the best spawn locations?
MW2 DMZ is not the kind of game that allows you to choose where you spawn, you are not dropping from a plane like in Warzone so you need to work with what you are given. Some spawn points are preferable to others, based on their potential proximity to other players and the position in which it puts you.
In short, spawn locations that keep you out of the line of sight of other players are better, they give you a chance to get into the game properly without immediately getting sniped, or having to scramble for cover. Thanks to the excellent work of u/FluffyPlays22 on Reddit, we have a breakdown of which spawn locations are safe, and which are more dangerous.
As such, the spawn locations you don't want to see are the ones around the Port, as well as Sawah Village, the Airport, and the ones north of Taraq Village. If you or your team ever start a match in these areas, your first priority should be to move to a safer location.
Ideally, you want to spawn in at Al Mazrah City or around the Hydroelectric dam. The spawn points in those areas keep you out of sight and give you a much better start. The various other points are not much worse but can lead to skirmishes with other players early on.
That is it for the MW2 DMZ spawn locations, which ones are safe, and which ones will get you killed quickly. For more on the game, check out our guide on where to use the central top-floor apartment key in MW2 DMZ.
