Instant respawns are ruining my experience

Games Other Halo
1

I know this has been said, but I am fed up with these instant respawns.

I cannot tell you how many times I have killed somebody and have no shields, I breath a sigh of relief, until the SAME person I just killed comes back and kills me while I have low shields.

Getting triple kills and over kills are the WORST! I really am cowering whenever I get one because I am usually low on health, and I know the entire team is coming after me. Before instant respawns, I had a few seconds to get my bearings and move to a different spot, now they approach me with little to no time to move anywhere, especially when the team spawns behind me! Yeah, I won’t even get started with the spawning system.

Is anyone else as annoyed with the instant spawn system as I am? Am I the only one who gets torn a new one because the other player hits X?

In Hindsight, I think Instant respawns is the worst thing to be added to Halo.

Nope, i move away from the battle when i have no shields.

Did you even read the entire post? Or did you reply reading the first sentence?
Because I kind of mentioned that.

No one else has this issue?

Try the shielding perk.

i do, i remember 1 time i killed 1 guy on haven and i turned around and say 3 people infront of me, but most of the time when i get killed i end up running into the guy that killed me and get a revenge medal… i think that instant respawn should be removed

Already use it, but I should not have to waste a package to avoid a terrible gameplay mechanic.

Back in previous games, it punished you for dying with spawn times. It made it tactical because you didn’t want to do so you played more strategically. Now? You have no punishment, you die, you press X, you kill the same guy that killed you. Its terrible.

They need to fix or remove instant spawns, and definitely tweak spawning system because it is horrible as well.

I have no idea how you are having this problem then. Shields take like five seconds to recharge. I have never had this issue.

Happens all the dang time, pay attention next time you play haven and it is so bad. Happens to me every single game.

I never said thank you.

It’s bad…

I can see how this is a problem with smaller maps, but I usually play BTB so by the time someone spawns and sprints back to where I killed them for the revenge kill I’m already at full shields again, but I agree it gets even worse when you get anything above a triple kill, next thing you know you have 4+ people rushing you.

Instant spawn is pretty annoying but it doesn’t bother me much unless it’s objective. Why would you ever put instant spawn in oddball?

Yes this is definitely an issue. Instant respawns is definitely up there with the top things wrong with this game. Instant respawns, bad maps(too many big maps), this whole new ordinance drop system and default sprint are main things about halo 4 that I absolutely hate. The thing is I never really ever once heard anybody complain before about the short amount of time you had to wait to respawn in previous halos. The only reason they added this is because instant respawn is in other modern fps games like COD.

Well, instant respawns are only in Slayer (to my knowledge, may be having a brain fart and forgetting about it in another playlist) so if you don’t like it, go play something else. I know Dominion doesn’t have them, play that if you don’t like it. Me personally? I like it. I like the fact that rather than having to sit around twiddling my thumbs for 5-10 seconds watching my corpse lay around, I can get right back into the game and do what I’m supposed to be doing, killing the enemy team.

It’s really not that big of an issue. Kill an enemy and lose your shields in the process? Do what any Halo player with half a brain does and get to cover and wait out the recharge. Instant respawn doesn’t ruin the game, it increases the pace of matches.

That’s why I’ve gotten to the point where I play CTF a lot. Even just to get kills because I know I won’t be faced with a never ending hoard. Haven on Infinity slayer is almost a joke with the instant respawns and random spawn points.
