MP games should not have RESPAWN times!!!!

The only real solution to this problem is to be like me and not die at all.

Instant respawn in games like Team Fortress 2 turn the map into a stalemate where no one can push on the objectives and win. No thank you.

Yep. You would NEVER get the last control point.

There should always be punishment for death, and a 5 second respawn delay suffices.

The best players spend twice as much time "pwning" then they do dying...maybe you should work on improving and you wont be complaining

Should be like Counter Strike... you dead? Tough! You will wait till next round.

Exactly, it forces players to get better by being more cautious and strategic as well as making every shot count.

No thank. Respawn times allow you to collect yourself and gear up to go at it again. Plus you and your team should be punished for dying. Games would become greater stalemates as you can just rush back to the fight and no one team will have gained anything. Sure no respawn time works in a game like UT3 bc that game is all about being a constant twitch fest but in a game where you are fighting over objectives and need some strategy and team work then no respawn times would make it a giant clusterfrack. I mean really you only have to wait like 10 seconds

In real war your K/d ratio is not wat matters IW-Designer

In real war your K/d ratio is not wat matters, its how many combatants you take out to contribute to the overall fight. IW-Designer

Tip one: Don't stand still.

Tip two: reload after each kill unless you are surrounded and still firing and in that case switch weapon to pistol bc that takes less time than reloading

Tip three: aim for the head.

Tip four: learn to circle strafe, i.e. keep aim on one spot, while strafing around

Tip five: know your maps. KZ2 has pretty intricate maps that provide multiple avenues of attack so there is usually another way that the enemy can get you.

Tip 6: know your weapons. don't try to kill someone with a shotty when they are far away

Tip 7: cook your nades so that they dont have time to get away from them once they land

Tip 8: use short burst otherwise recoil will mess with your aim

Tip 9: aim down the sights whenever you can.

Tip 10: in kz2 crouch when you can to take your shots. sprint when moving in the open. melee in tight combat

I actually hate respawning all together. This is the biggest reason why I used to love Counter Strike. I think it's more tactical to go out and kill the entire other team. It's also a lot more satisfying. This also made me VERY disappointed when they took it out of Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

But I would prefer no respawns because then I can walk around waiting for the next round.

You'd have to have a pretty bad case of ADHD (no offense intended) to not be able to wait 5 seconds to respawn in an online game.

The amount of time i spend respawning is the time spent me not pwning !!! Seriously, in COD4 im always #1 or at least top 3 in any match. However, MY k/d ratio is atrocious, yes i die almost as much as a pwn, but guess wat were not ranked on that !!!! were ranked in game by how many kills we get. So it disgusts me that i gotta wait 5 seconds to get bak in the game. Im a spastic shooter, my tactical measures of very small if any so i do die alot. This is why, IMO, besides halo 3, COD4 is so popular, its instant action. In real war your K/d ratio is not wat matters, its how many combatants you take out to contribute to the overall fight. ALSO, IMPORTANT, if yout kills per minute or w.e in a match is high, then you should be rewarded by lower respawn times dont you guys think thats fair? If you suck then you can wait to get into a match because your not contributing to overall victory. But if u are getting alot of kills then ur respawn time should be less cause ur survival is vital to the team. No wonder COD4 is such a great game, lets take a moment to bask in the glory of activision. IW-Designer

The respawn time is there to keep the pacing of the game down. COD4 isn't run'n'gun like halo. And if you are playing it like that then I am not surprised that you die a lot. I am guessing that you play hardcore since there is a respawn timer? Its been so long since I've played the other modes that I don't remember. Either way, if you want instant run'n'gun go play that type of game. Cod4 is not that type of game.trasherhead

trasherhead

so if you killed 25 dudes but died 25 times the only thing you did was make the game end quicker. if you went 1 and 0 you did betterqbell

The more the punishment for dieing there is, the more strategic and the more careful and the more skilled you have to be. So, I do not agree with you at all TC. In fact I think you're......... never mind. :roll:

It should be longer, fear of dying should increase.

How about we just don't have respawns at all. If you want to survive until the end of the match...then don't die. It's that simple. It's also far more realistic and makes winning a match all-the-more rewarding.

"In real war your K/d ratio is not wat matters, its how many combatants you take out to contribute to the overall fight." In real war there ARE no respawns. :|NAPK1NS

I knew someone would point that out :lol:

I would love to see the TC in a match of Elimination in Socom Confrontation :P

There should be a long respawn time, you should be punished for dieing, not just automatically respawn as if nothing happened.punkrocker163

So you want to spend more time in the game to "pwn" as much as you can? Then exercise every tactical measure you can to avoid dying! If you aren't putting forthought into your actions before you jump into the arena, then you should be penalized with delays that cost you opportunities to score kills. That's how you learn to plan your moves better, which is what deserves scoring points and victory.

You need to earn the right to have maximum playing time, it won't be handed to you just because you think you deserve it. It's a privelage, not a right.

What do you mean by cheap? Sniping? Camping? Grenades?

If you die in an FPS it's your fault for not being careful.

Your absolutely right K/D isnt important because you can only die once seeing as your talking real life. Gonna take a pure pawnage quote here "I even heard theres no respawn in RL".
