Oh how much I miss rubbing it in a players face after I killed them… Tea baggin. Which brings me to a conclusion!
We want spawn time back! Tea baggin was Halos Pastime and people knew halo for that. Not to mention some time when I kill someone in halo 4 they instant spawn and kill me before my Heath is recharged… Like why did 343 even add a feature where your hologram can -Yoink!- when they took out spawn time??? Totally pointless… So 343 if you are listing PLEASE I mean PRETTY PLEASE bring back the spawn time. So we can all -Yoink!- again. Also it would not hurt to make tea baggin a little more obnoxious looking hahaha like halo 3 style where their body flops.

Spawn timer is only gone from Infinity Slayer. With that said I think spawn timer should stay gone from Slayer. It was always annoying having to wait so long after dying in the gametype that is totally dedicated to murdering the other team. It makes sense in all objective gametypes, but I’d prefer it gone from slayer.
If you want to -Yoink!- so much don’t do it so close to the enemy spawn. Insta spawn only effects that if you do it while standing near the entire team’s spawn area.
They must bring back spawn timers. It’s total BS that I can drop a grenade right before I die, instant respawn before the grenade explodes, grenade kills someone, and I get a Hail Mary medal.
Spawn time is like punishment for getting killed and kind of makes you try to get better/play smarter… if you don’t want to spend half your game staring at your dead body, then don’t die. Without them, it doesn’t really matter if you die because you can just respawn instantly. You’ll have people running around like idiots into a group of 2 or 3 enemies alone without thinking because there’s almost no punishment for dying.

This and no tea baggin made halo a bit more boring.
Spawn timers are good (apart from allowing you to -Yoink!-) because the reward of killing the player is that you get to control that point on the map knowing there’ll be at least one less player harassing you for it and you can gain a certain site line/power weapon spawn. The instant respawn takes this away because the player you just killed will sometimes spawn directly behind you while your shields are still down and take you out with one shot.
Having spawn times actually give aggressors a reward for successfully killing their enemies so they can regroup and gain tactical advantages like map control, settle vehicle dominance and or power weapon dominance. Without timers the aggressors will be the defenders and there will be waves upon waves of the enemy team and then it will be vice versa when the spawning team takes out the previous aggressors. This is just my MM POV.
But I dont want my teammates “YOLOMCSWAG” “YOLOMCSWAG(1)” and “IDONTHAVEAIM123” to run into top mid with sprint and instant respawn to die over and over and over again. Faster than I can cary them with my awesome skills.
Y’all make good points about the spawns being crappy, but the timer isn’t the only problem.
I’d rather they make a smarter spawn system (or more secluded spawn points with lots of cover). Broadly speaking, the sooner I get back in the action, the happier I am. I can’t be the only one.
If they do bring back the spawn timer, I’d be happy for it to be standard for the ranked/competitive playlists.
