This is for those of you with an attention span that surpasses that of a dead rodent.
First of all I would like to point out that the obvious predictions people had by saying “Dudes are going to die, insta spawn, and finish off the dude who killed him” were beyond spot on. I do it ALL THE TIME and so does everyone else. That in and of itself is reason enough to do away with it. Especially in 4v4 slayer. However I’ve noticed a much bigger issue. A lot of times, you spawn very close to a team mate. So basically what happens here is that you kill a guy, he instas back into the game on his teammate and you turn the corner and are now facing a 2 on 1. Possibly a 3 on 1 or worse. This creates really frustrating gameplay in my opinion. Because its a perpetual oddman encounter. You spawn on your teammate and 2 on 1 some poor schmuck. You then go your separate ways. That poor schmuck now spawns on HIS teammate and 2 v 1’s you. Then they go their seperate ways and the same thing happens over and over. I RARELY find myself in 1 on 1 situations anymore. I’ve nearly put my controller through the wall several times. The other inherent problem with instant respawning is the fact that it is a CONSTANT 4 v 4. No longer can you destroy the other team and then regroup. You destroy them, then have about 50 nades being lobbed at you from every conceivable angle before you can even reload. Just a few things I’ve noticed about insta spawning that kind of irritate the flow of things.
I will say that it certainly does speed up the game and it keeps it action packed which is good but at what cost ya know?
