So I am sure I will get a bunch of people in here to bash me and my opinion, but I want to give an example as to why I think instant respawn is stupid. It might be ok in some play lists but I would rather see it gone all together.
I just played a Regicide match on Haven. I kill the king on the bottom floor in one of the hallways. My shields were low, but not gone, so I crouched and waited for them to go back to full. They came back quickly enough and I pop out to kill a guy, I get his shields all the way down just in time for the King to come back and melee me to death from behind and then go on to kill the other guy that I was about to finish off.
In all it was about ten to fifteen seconds total that transpired from when I killed the king to when the king came back to kill me and the guy I was about to kill.
The point here is that a five second respawn period would have allotted me the time to get my shields full, kill the next guy and move on before the king could come back to get his revenge on me.
Now I understand they want the game to move faster, and I am ok with that, but it is pretty stupid when the guy can instantly respawn close enough to me to get a revenge kill that quick and grab another easy one shot kill for the double.
I do not expect to get much of a change here honestly but I think it would be nice to bring back some respawn times. Please feel free to voice your opinion on the matter. I would appreciate it if we could keep the responses clean and respectable, but I will not be suprised to see otherwise.
I really don’t care for it at all. I think it would make sense for something like flood or SWAT. I would rather see the 3s respawn return for base slayer in both team and FFA.
When I can run right up to the the guy who just killed me before his shields recharged(or vice-verse) its a problem.
eh, I’ll sit back on this one. I really don’t find it a problem, but I can see why people would. It the majority wants it gone, I’m cool with that. If the majority wants to keep it, I’m cool with that too.
Hate instant respawn in Slayer games. Sick of holding down a spot on the map with a team, getting killed, respawn iny on the other side of the map next to the entire other team, and getting killed again. Take it out.
On that note, I was playing in a to3 the other night in Slayer Pro and had at least 3 games start with us short handed. Make Slayer games start with equal teams and get rid of drop-in games.
I like the fast paced feel of halo 4, but considering you respawn beside your teammates it makes it so you can finish off your attacker. I lost a BR fight to a guy by one shot, and I respawned instantly to do the final shot within like 2 seconds lol.
They need to add it back into some playlists, keep it in some.
I honestly don’t really care about the Instant Respawn. I’d much rather lose the game faster then put up with the intense lag i experience every 2nd game
Nope I don’t like it. Sure, I use it because it’s there and everyone else does, but it ruins the game in the way you just said
It makes the game too fast paced (way too much) and doesn’t give players enough time to clear their head and think about what happenned and how they could counter it if it happens again, and often it means the guy you just killed will know exactly where you are and can probably get revenge in just a few seconds
I have 100% faith that this will get changed in most if not all playlists… It was a good test… it didnt work. Honestly a game like Halo which is built so much on set up and map control, instant respawn completely breaks that meta game.
Yeah, at first I didn’t mind, now I’d rather it was gone. It messes up the flow of the game, encourages people to just LEEROY! rush and makes it so any terrible player on your team will probably lose you the match by getting killed about 23 times on his own.
(I wish I was joking on this one. I’ve seen it happen.)
Kill cams I don’t care either way, but I think the instaspawn needs to go away again.
> I have also made a thread on this and most people want it gone for various reasons
I see no need to point that out, technically priority would go to thug since he made his before yours, but I would also say these probably belong in the matchmaking section anyway.
