[cod] Spawns in TDM cod2 1.2

[CoDClanServers Sales Team]

Ryan is not a developer for the game, his contracted job is to port the 
Windows server code over to Linux, period. If you have problems with the 
spawn points you might be better off discussing them at 
http://www.iwnation.com/Forums/index.php

Let is also be noted that if you and others feel the same about the new 
TDM spawns, then making a small mod to use the old spawns would be a 
breeze for any experienced modder in the scene.
