What I really don't like is to be spawned right in front of an enemy tank or something...
I don't think the programming would be too hard to make the spawn points more like
" if noboby can see a guy here then spawn here.".

.oO(well, you can always wish for anything)

edit:Rats.. now I saw the thread this should have been in...sorry.

Well each spawn area does have multiple points of spawning. They usually choose a different spot only if an enemy is occupying the physical area. However I agree that some flag points need to have more spawn points than they do. Some only have 2 which are not enough in heavy battle situations.

You should check out my thread on Reducing Spawn Camping. I think this addresses what you're talking about.

Perhaps allow a player to be invulnerable for 1 second after spawning so that they can stand a chance and run for cover instead of being killed instantly. It would be a major improvement to the game where it is too easy to place a tank inches from a flag and just mow down opponents as they spawn.

They should leave it AS IS.

Who cares, someone is a STUPID-ASS if they think they should magically appear in the THICK-OF-IT and not
get shot at. You HAVE been killed and why should you RE-appear at the FLAG the other team is trying to take?
YOU made the decision to spawn at that flag - not the game-logic, you could have regrouped with the team/or/
squad at another SAFER-flag and then: you can try to recapture the FLAG.

Its STUPID that you call it spawn camping - it isn't - it should be called STUPID-CAMPING, if its not an
uncapturable FLAG.

Gee.. so it's stupid to defend your own flag now.

Think about it - the answer to all capturable flags is YES!

1.) You've been killed - you respawning eqauls new troops.
2.) You want to insta-spawn safely [re-troop your team] in a HOT ZONE of OPPOSING-TEAM activety.
Yet you've been killed - else you would not need to spawn again - and you want a reward for that?
. . . and further - often the HUD shows you how HOT the activety around a flag is!
3.) Re-grouping troops and re-capturing flags is part of BF2.
4.) You made the choice of spawing in a hot zone - not the game logic (exept when your team is routed, it might be the last flag).

Why should you be able to safely do this safely - when there is a another flag NOT that far way?
BF2 maps are not real-world scale - real conflicts require great distances to be covered - BF2 doesn't require great distance to be traveled - especially if your in a sqaud - but that insta-spawn point is only as good as the squad-leaders common sense.

Why should someone wait for you to spawn then load your AT and take out the tank thats helping capture a flag?

I do not think it would be difficult to add a check to determine whether an enemy is near before the games spawns you.  It could check each spawn point until it finds one that is "free".  If they're all compromised, it reverts to the current method, and you become tank bait.
And, personally, spawning back at a "safe" CP is not always the best option, although it usually only takes me getting spawn killed once to decide to spawn somewhere else...  Additionally, there are times where you're gonna get screwed no matter where you spawn.  There have been times where I spawned at one base, got shredded by a Helo, spawned at another base, got shredded by another helo...
