Re: Why oh why??

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...

nah not fair... whats stopping someone from spawning sniper (at a nearby flag) straight away and taking out the guy whose trying to cap the flag... it would make it way to hard to play

Ok sensible answer now .

If there was no spawn time and you had a map rotaion them someone like me would be in the server first . 4Gb of OCZ Reaper and 2x Raptors in raid 0 says it will . I can get to a lot of flags before most players have even loaded .

The 15 sec thing is there to help you....help you get revived,if you only had 5 sec's most of the time you would just die,and not all the time do you spawn near the action which would mean a long walk of 30-45 sec's,and on top of your 15 sec revive time 1min can be pretty long to see some more action and when you do you could just get killed stright away.

So if it means waiting 15 sec's insted of 5 sec's and spawning miles away, i would take the 15 sec's anyday,as i don't mind waiting 15 sec's but i hate a 1 min walk to even see a enemy.

OK, I surrender - but only in this forum:evil: .. By the way BaldEagle11, I'm usually within the first 4 to load also.. I know how you feel

I do like how UT2K4 did it with Onslaught mode. You can spawn instantly, but not at a capture point that is currently being attacked. That way there is very little down time, but there is a reward for clearing out defenders.

Re: Why oh why??

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?

This is what i did after reading the OP:shock: :shakehead: :cry:

Eh... You cant wait 15 SECONDS?? I suggest you try Project Reality Mod. There your spawntime is 30 sec plus 1 sec for each time you die and 30 additional seconds if you TK someone and another aditional minute if you kill a civilian.

Re: Why oh why??

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)

i dont have add but agree,thats why css gorws old on me fast.
