TF2 Instant Respawn?

[manofphat]

Would you guys like to see this on one of the servers?

I think it'd make offense too hard. All the defenders instantly respawning to kill you as you try to cap? Eh... Just sounds like a pain in the ass, and promotes kamikaze tactics that take less skill and forethought. The respawn time's there as a reminder that dieing = bad.

[manofphat]

fast respawn is also an option. I could set the max respawn time from 20 down to 10 or something

[lefty]

played with no respawn a couple times. it changes the game quite a bit, pretty much becomes deathmatch.

[Jordork]

Max downtime from 20 to 15 sounds good. However, no respawn time is nuts on the servers I've tried.

I think the respawn time is a pretty integral part of the game. It means that if a team does a large push and gets taken out by a team's defense, they have a nice chunk of time to mount their own move.

If there was no or a short respawn time some of the 'tug-of-war' aspect to the game.

keep it as is, it promotes more strategy and hey, Valve balanced the game to account for that spawn time

Thankfully it isn't as bad as Dystopia is

[manofphat]

Also, if we did this we'd have to choose a 24/7 map to do it on because I have to open up each map into an editor and chance stuff, and I would have to do it after each update.. Such as 2fort. The most popular TF2 server runs 2fort with instant respawn

[gOOCH]

try it, but instant respawn wont work with many tf2 maps

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I prefer a 10 second re-spawn time.

[manofphat]

I've set TF2 #2 to instant respawn 24/7 2fort for tonight.
Let me know how you guys like it

[WiseGuy]

lol i always get aced with the 20 respawns, but i guess its for the good of the game, i say leave it stock

[manofphat]

colossal failure. Server reverted back to default settings

[Krythos]

did its failure suprise you winston? instant respawn = bad lol.

[WiseGuy]

lol what happened ?

[manofphat]

even less people joined than before lol
even A LOT less

[beejay]

One of the things I like best about these servers (#1 and #2) is that they are "pure" gameplay with good players. No need to change what works!

cmon man thats obvious! can you imagine trying to capture a final point with a steady stream of defenders O_O
