A thought...Respawn?

[Q22]

I noticed while playing Zombies that there isn't a respawn system. And whilst playing later levels if you die early it can be quite boring to have to wait around until you get the chance to play again at the end of the round.

So i'm sure others have thought this, but why can't there be a respawn system?
Something that would bring you back to life after X amt of minutes, or kills or something along that nature....
IDK but it was just a thought...

Please look to make sure there isn't another topic on this before you make a new one. There are already like 10 topics on this.

Personally I think it's fine the way it is. The whole point is to work with your teammate to survive the day, so if you go running off on your own and die early that's your own fault. Believe me I die arly all the time, it's just part of the game.

My bad it was on the next page, but I did  have a feeling that I wasn't the only one who felt this way...

If I may, I can think of a fair and reasonable solution that may see a few more faces light up

A respawn could cost 20 in game credits. Therefore a respawn every 20 minutes.
Another idea, is that you should be able to buy grenades from the !market feature at £1200 ( so every 4 kills ) I have occasionally heard people wanting to buy more grenades on maps like cs_silenthill.

TBH, either way I'm not really fussed, but it's just a small idea.

the respawn thing isn't likely to happen, it was implemented before in the past on the medic but caused serious problems all the time. as for the grenades, I think I suggested that in another thread, but apparently it has been done before in the past and caused a lot of trouble with nade spamming.

Something that I would like to see is a kill incorpation, like every 100 kills you get 1 extra life....I dont know how hard it would be to script in, but we have harder stuff in the servers!

On the other hand, it would really suck if everyone ended up dying before the final stretch of the later days, because everyone would have to do it over.

I think a 480 second respawn timer would be reasonable.

But in that case, you (and everyone else) would know that the tactics used were not effective.
To survive the day, you know to change the way the team works or just use team work.
The ability to respawn mid game would lead to more individuals and less team work.
There would be no penalty for dying early or stupidly because, "Oh well. I'll respawn here in a few minutes"

Makes sense, I guess.

That is 100% correct. I see this all the time when I do a lot of respawns for people on the later days, teamwork tends to breaks down.

you are also forgetting what else happens...right when someone dies, they immediately ask -or rather, DEMAND- another respawn after they died.

I can honestly say that it gets to be very annoying when I die and see people typing in chat "admin, respawn me now" or something along those lines over the mic as well. only thing I ever tell them when any of the admins are in there is to either be patient and wait for the next round or wait for the admin to respawn them IF they decide to do so again.

[Death]

Yeah, some people can get very demanding with it, and it does get annoying. I just tell them not to ask, because technically people are never supposed to be re-spawned since the mod is not made to do that, but we admin are nice enough sometimes to not make them wait forever.

I like some of these opinions, but what would be a good respawn idea is having to type "!respawn" and giving in 5000$ in order to respawn, if u dont have enough, u do not respawn, if u do have enough to revive, u probably wont be able to buy guns .But if u do go running off, like Death said, its ur fault for not staying with your team. the game is about teamwork.

it wouldn't work by taking out money, it would have to be set up so that there are only x amount of uses each round. I've seen this function in use before, and it ALWAYS puts you in a random location when it is entered. although it WOULD be good on a normal zombie server, it wouldn't work well in ZH1 or ZH2.

On second thought, I am all for keeping the no respawn thing in place, sure it would suck for the long rounds when people die early on, but it gives a real incentive for players to stay alive instead of suicidally charging in blind.
