i mean its ok when its like 3-4 seconds, but like BF has 15 second respawns and kz2 has like 7-8 its really annoying, especially if u suck. seriously how long do u need to be revived to make a well balanced match? thats why i love cod4, its almost instant. i think thats another reason its wanna the most played games, gamers hate waiting!!!! i hope to god the start reducing respawn times or at least giving us options to change it according to hosts.

It really depends on the game IMO... Project Reality for BF2 woudlnt be the same without the long respawns (60 second respawn add 1-5 seconds for each friendly fire incedent and even more if you shoot a civilian player) IMO if a game is going to have short respawn times it needs to fix the problem by haveing spawn areas in protected (like DOD where once exiting spawn area you either cannot re-enter it or it auto punishes players of the opposing team that try to sneak in and kill people as they spawn) COD4 is a perfect example of spawning done WRONG imo

I would like for longer respawns. 30 seconds or so or none at all. Makes for a slower paced more tactical game.

Jeez, are you that impatient? It's just a few seconds of your precious precious play time. Don't like it? Try not dying then.

While I wouldn't want this in all of my games, I would certainly enjoy having some games do this. Whenever there's instant respawns, people just become idiots because death has no meaning. Having a longer respawn time would make get people thinking more strategically.

i actually prefer respawn after a round like CS because it requires more thought, tactics, and teamwork. who likes it when u would kill a player and they would respawn instantly knowing ur position? or players who spam grenades only to die right after and spam some more? not i.

Respawn times should be longer. It should be 30 secounds for most games.

it depends on the game...Project reality like someone mentioned before has very long respawn times (though ive seen even longer) but it really ads to the game, it gives people a legitimate fear of death (combined with the potentially long downtime after death) and really encourages teamplay.

As a result, people only get like 3-5 deaths in an hour of play.

Depends on the game's style/speed, and what the player does. If a guy has been killing our team with friendly fire I'd like him booted, but more so him to have a really long respawn for annoying us. Also if the opposing team dies, their respawn shouldn't be instant if we're playing a game like CTF cause it would just be a mess. I like how Halo does Respawns, it's not too long, but feels right. I can wait a few seconds are you truly that impatient for waiting a couple more seconds?

It should be set up so the more deaths you have, the longer the respawn delay is. This way, people would think twice about rushing to their death.

no.

Longer respawns train you to value the time you have alive and makes you more careful and aware of what's going on, ala socom and counter-strike.

On Topic: Long Respawns are fine, not every game has to be unreal tournament or cod. CS is amazing primarily because once your dead thats it, it makes everything that much more intense, and as a previous poser mentioned, tactical...

It depends on the game, they are all designed differently. Personally never hated any respawn times. I used to play Socom II for hours, and in that game you can't respawn until the round ends, several minutes. That's the way it was designed, the key there is to not die, and complete the mission objective
