    This server has a very short respawn time, and i love it compared to 20 second ones, but does anyone else think that it could be just a little bit longer? When I die I respawn so quickly I don't get a chance to really see who killed me, or how much health they have left. Dominations aren't as satisfying either, because your victim doesn't get to see that ypu killed him or her again because it's so short. I wouldn't want a 15 second respawn time, but there's nothing wrong with one only 5 seconds is there?

    The respawn times could be easily changed. I think a lot of people enjoy the instant respawn though.

    I think a longer respawn time could change the gameplay and strategy a fair bit, people may like it, or it could kill it.

    I hate waiting to be respawned. It's just like playing CSS pub, waiting for a whole round to end. just to die in a few seconds.

    There are pro's and con's to the length of respawn time. Nothing like waiting 20 sec's to get back into the game as that is very frustrating. Likewise you kill a guy and he shows right back up again knowing where you are as you have not had time to reposition with instant respawn. We could adjust the respawn to 5 sec's so taunts could be seen. But then you have people complain that it was instant and now they have to wait (5 sec's). My point is no matter what we do on this there will always be a group that is unhappy with the outcome.

    I suppose so, people will always disagree about respawn times.

    I usually only play on servers without respawn time because it allows the player to get right back into the action opposed to waiting a little while. I can see what you are saying but honestly seeing their health is pointless because they can easily heal before anyone can go and take advantage of their low health. And you could always look in the kill feed to see exactly who killed you. Just my opinion.

    If there is anything that makes me rage it is not getting Dominated, or spawn camped or even ganked by sniper aimbots, what really makes my ass red is waiting 15 secs for respawn.

    Keep insta-spawn!
