Remove instant respawn from Oddball and KOTH.

Games Other Halo
1

At least in custom games, currently CTF and Extraction do not have instant respawn, but Oddball and Koth do.

It makes no sense and it ruins those gametypes; this is what these gametypes are with instant respawn:

  1. throw your grenades at the objective
  2. sprint at it and shoot anyone there
  3. get some points then die
  4. instant respawn with new grenades, a full clip and full sprint
  5. repeat steps 1 through 4 for the entire game.

I mean for matchmaking its fine, and can be pretty fun. But when you wanna have a game with a bit more meaning, you cannot. It fully ruins the potential that Oddball and Koth have in terms of rich and interesting gameplay and I want to know why we don’t at least have an option to turn this off in custom games?

You guys are familiar with MLG, they put on some good tournaments to watch but no way are they going to be able to use Oddball or Koth now. Its going to get stale fast with only TS and CTF.
This one tiny detail can fix that though.

Please support the option to remove instant respawn from Oddball and King of the Hill by posting in this thread.
Thank you.

Doesn’t really bother me either way, but I have notice that sometimes the option to instant respawn isn’t available.

Although, now that I think about it I wonder if there is some cool-down timer on it and I just die a whole lot.

I also seem to respawn quite a distance from where I died, but I don’t know if that is as intended or just random chance.

Would love for this to be taken out, if it’s with CTF I don’t see why it can’t be done with Oddball and KOTH. Don’t want another repeat of Reach and MLG, that would suck.

Just give us the option to do so in custom games.

I don’t think instant respawn is good in anything to be honest, even slayer.

Better yet, give us the option to disable instaspawn in all gametypes.

As well as all the other things we can’t modify…

Agreed on being able to be disable in custom games.

In matchmaking, it’s not that big of a deal.

This is probably my biggest frustration with H4, I’m not liking the instant respawn as it makes it impossible to set up on a map and gain control of main points!!!

It’s a case of kill then they respawn instantly and know where you are and come kill you before your shield has recharged!

Other than this I like the game, it’s just needs a few kinks ironed out!!!

Yeah, the Instant respawn is one of my main problems with MM. There’s no point in map control anymore because of it. Personally I think it just needs to be taken out of Halo 4 entirely. But I would LOVE the option to take it out in Custom.

In KotH at least, you can’t insta-spawn when your team controls the hill. I’m not sure if something similar occurs in Oddball, I never paid attention.

Would be great to see this put in, even if it is just an option for custom games.

I really hope 343i takes this instant respawn out. It messes the the Halo frustration when you die.

It is fine when it comes to just Slayer games, but when it comes to objective game types, the instant respawn should be gone.

No offense to 343i, you did a great job with the game, but you messed up Halo and made it like CoD.

Tip - Look at the goods and bads from Halo 1,2, and 3.
