Why oh why??

[malikah]

Why do servers insist on having 15 second spawn times? To give you time to think? All I want to do is get back into the action. Is anyone else frustrated by spawntimes?

No because they can't be changed on ranked servers.

If you're fed up with waiting 15 seconds find a unranked server and most wil probably have shorter spawn times.

They are there so that it rewards the guy that killed you so they can cap the flag...It would be impossible to cap a flag if people could spawn instantly...

Ahh.. Thank you - I knew there had to be a logical reason. But.. another alternative the developers could have used was not allowing the re-spawner to spawn at that particular location (if he was killed at the flag).. Make him spend 3 seconds choosing a new location..

I've seen guys camp out at spawn locations in tanks, cleaning up anyone who appears.. Fairs fair...

The 15 second spawntime is so your opponents have plenty of time to teabag you.

LOL.. I think that falls under the "comical" reasons category.

wtf? 15 seconds is nothing really

CSS: if you die straight away it can be almost 5 minutes (depending on the round) til you get to fight again

BHD/JO: if you die twice in a row, you get time added on to your respawn. JO if alot of people want to spawn a point you can sometimes wait for ages.

i think the persistant 15 seconds aint that bad.

Well 5 mins is an outrage. I definately wouldn't play on any 5 minute server. Not putting you down or anythig But I personally can't stand the 15 second suspense. (I was an ADD child)

Its in the ROE all ranked servers must play on those settings, i remember in the earlier patches before ROE there were servers running 1000 tickets per round so it was about a 2 hr fight for 16 guys on Karkand.

wait till u play Project Reality (if u play it at all)...usually it takes 30 seconds of just lying there and sometimes its 30 seconds + a few more seconds for every death u have...and hten theres sometimes penalties..like if u kill a civilian, its another minute i think

Thats the point...you think tactically so you dont die and have to wait a huge spawn time.
