Re: Only 1 chance!

The point is, you DON'T die in the first place.

It is meant to be an arcade game, not a hyper realistic war simulation, sorry, I do not namby pamby around, I play the game hard, not hide.

There are already mods out there, that are more realistic, but still do not force you to wait 2 minutes before you can respawn....

Re: Only 1 chance!

Well, I did the math, if instead of 15 seconds, it was 2 minutes, I would have just sat there for 17108 minutes, instead of 2138.5 minutes. Sorry, but 35.6 hours is already to long :) Your way, would be a mind boggling 285.1 hours. Not only would this waste peoples time, but everyone would whore medic even more.....

Well as a PR player I know what long(er) respawn is and I can say I waste my time much more waiting to respawn in vanilla. In a typical 30 minute round I probably die 5 times in PR, which means a lot less than vanilla's 35 deaths. And during that time I also feel like I've achieved something if my tactics work and I get a flag for example without losing many men. In vanilla dying is happens constantly, in PR there are rounds where you die only once, for example when being sniper or tank driver. Of course PR could be any mod with longer (and generally more difficult) respawn.

I do not think I have ever died 35 times IAR, that would suck But, to each there own I guess. I was definetly not insulting PR's system, I was referring to the 2 minute thing that guy was talking about, PR is a whole different ball game.

Re: Only 1 chance!

If I had to wait 2 minutes every time I died, I would have wasted much more time in my life, and I would probably quit. I do not play a freaking game to sit there for 2 minutes if I die a single time, and I cannot see many people ever doing that.

Have you ever heard about Counter Strike? Until WoW came out it was the most popular and played game ever.
But doing this means changing the game style from Capture the Base to Deathmatch.
I mean, if you die, you wait for the end of the round, and the round ends when one team loses = one teams has lost all of its players (died).

That could be a nice addon, like IO, only DM. Why not Capture the Flag as well? That could be great
Deathmatch will provide a more intense game. Not very tactical, just rush, and frag as much as you can...
Someone here must have played CS once.

CS players and BF2 players are generally 2 different types, or people play them while in different moods. They do not want a "rush and frag type" while doing this, they want a more tactical CTF, with higher "penalties" for dying.
