Firefight: Died during Round 5 with only 1m left

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Did you just die in the last minute of Firefight? Well, while you are waiting, you have time to do the following:

  • Go to the bathroom and pee or even poop - Make an awesome BLT sandwich - Brew a nice cup of coffee - Laugh at some cat videos - Ponder about the meaning of life - Take a nap - Watch some adult content on the internet - Smoke a bit of weed - Play a match of Ha… oh wait, you’re already in one…

It takes you 30 seconds to do all those tasks?

No, but since it takes an extra 20-30 seconds just to get back into the fight, the match will be over by the time you even see the enemy, and combined with the time in intermission, you have plenty of time to do whatever you want.

Yeah if you die with a minute left in round 5 it’s over for you. 30 second respawn plus half that again to get to the fight. Might as well put the controller down and take a break.

tbh u could prob write a 5pg essay during the time u gotta w8 to respond…

The funny thing is I died today in round 5 with one minute left and I went and made a sandwich lol.

pick up my phone and check facebook, check youtube maybe watch some old E3 trailers…you know of games I can’t wait to play that aren’t Halo 5

Any one else hyped for Final Fantasy 15? or Battlefield 1?

… It’s game over man, game over.

Yep… that is why this automatic long respawn time is LAME! Respawn time should get longer the more you die. So if you happen to die once in the fifth round you can respawn in the normal time. But if you have been dying a lot the time gets longer.

Nobody complaining about long spawns should ever play a MOBA

Except the long respawn times in a MOBA are more justified. The later in the game, the longer the respawn time. The rationale for the progressive respawn time is to keep games from drawing out too long. If one team wipes out the entire opposing team, they have a better opportunity to secure the win or to make a comeback by taking an objective.

Also, there’s no time limit in a MOBA. I don’t have to finish a League of Legends match in less than 40 minutes.

Timer is fine, difficulty is fine, spawn locations is more questionable, but to balance the spawn locations, timers, enemy “warp in”/dropped off waste of time, killing each boss should give you an additional 30 secs back on the clock.

Didn’t realise MOBA’s were PvE’s. ( No experience with MOBA’s but sure they’re PvP…right. )
