I could be wrong but as far as I know it is possible to adjust the time you have to wait before you spawn, but I haven't played a game with anything other than 15 sec myself.

I think that having longer spawn times would significantly change the way people play the game, making a kill so much better for your team, and making players more cautious about how they attack. Also the medic would be even more important in a squad since a revive saves the team-mate having to sit out for a long time.

Just wondering if anyone has played a decent match with longer spawn times, and how did it go?

BTW I'm not suggesting that ranked servers should have a longer spawn time, but matches with a spawn time of 1 minute or more could be interesting.

I played on an unranked server, and there was no spawn time. You died, and next thing you know, you're at the spawn point. Pretty fun.

Yeah. I always thought that 15 seconds is such a strange amount of time, I mean it's so short you may as well just make it instant spawn. And now that (after 1.4) you can't do any of the squad stuff while you're dead it's just a waste of time.

But if it was instant spawning imagine the spawn raping... muhahahahaha

Only the server options can change the spawn times. 15 seconds seems like years at times, but only the admin or whatever can change it.

have you played 1942? In that the spawn time was based on some wierd system that I never figured out. But it was longer if you tked i think. or something like that.

If you were going to have a 1 minute spawn time, you might as well just have mini-rounds with 1 life and you respawn once one team is dead.

That did cross my mind. Have teams of 32 on a 16 player map. I think that'd be awesome.

I did play 1942 a few times at LAN parties (back then I had dial-up), but I never knew what the spawn time was supposed to be. I just sucked on my beer until I respawned lol.
