I am genuinely curious as to why this feature was added.
In my opinion, it doesn’t really add anything significant to game play, and I feel like it encourages bad play, especially on the smaller maps. I can’t tell you how many times I have killed someone on Haven after a close fight, only to have that same person come sprinting around the corner mere seconds later to finish me off before my shields even have a chance to regen.
Also - If you have 1 or 2 teammates constantly dying and insta-spawning it can really tip the score balance quickly to the point where your team can’t make a comeback. It makes it really hard to hold positions on the map when enemies are constantly zerging you with fresh weapons and grenades, or vice-versa - Extremely easy to hold a position if you are constantly spawning next to teammates.
I mean, aside from the points, why do players even die at all if they can INSTANTLY be back on the battlefield? Its like Spartan whack-a-mole.
