Whatever they do... i hope HL2 doesnt have

[DarkSkies]

stupid 30 sec spawn time crap like RTCW

 

[Tyl3n0L]

uh?

 

[Prince of China]

*whispers
He means MP

 

[vitale]

i guess he forgot to say "HL2 MP"
So i guess you rather wait the whole entire round before you can play again.

 

[Chris D]

You made a new thread just to say that?

 

[commando]

yea i would hate that! i mean ok it is ur fault for dieing and all that, but still 30seconds i could kill at leat another 5

 

[Bad^Hat]

Will someone PLEEEEEEASE think of the children!!!

 

[Hudson]

i wish theyd release some info on the MP.

 

[smwScott]

I bet you'd hate Americas Army . If an M203 lands in your lap during the first 1 minute you have to wait 10 mins for the round to be over. Although as long as you're at least half decent the spawn system is rarely annoying.

 

[commando]

yea so tru.

i want them to release some info in away.

but they must be keeping it a secret for the new show this august or somethin.

or maybe a mp demo would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[Hudson]

i doubt any kind of demo will be coming out. the source engine is very complex, wouldnt a demo have to be very large 500+ MB.

Program code is pretty small. It's textures and music that take up the space.

 

[Letters]

It'd be a good way to test how Steam holds out...

 

[bizzy420]

do u guys think that ALL the mods that come out will be like bf1942? like ALL huge maps with vehicles?? i mean thats fun and all, but sometimes i like playing smaller maps without vehicles.

I thought it was 20 second intervals in which you were allowed to spawn

I guess it'll be like any game ... the first few maps are gonna use every single feature in Source, just because they *can*. Eventually it'll sort itself out.

I'd definitely be up for a GTA clone in HL2 though. I wonder if that's really do-able.

 

[subs]

wtf is this guy smoking> We know nothing of hl2 MP yet.

FOr all we know you could be dead until the round is finished.

 

[nw909]

There would probably be a deathmatch mode with instant respawn.

 

[urseus]

You do know that servers can change the respawn time in like, every single multiplayer game in history?

Yeah and there was always those stupid servers in every game with a 5 min. spawn, sooo stupid.

 

[nw909]

Yeah, like ravenshield, heh I've seen 30 min respawn.

 

[Ridic]

Raven shield has awesome death animations. I shot a guy in the neck with a 7.62 round from the m14 and it killed him instantly, alo, you could see a 3 foot long blood splat come out the side of his neck. I sware to god it was the coolest thing i ever saw in a video game( as far as death goes)

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

What about SoF2???

 

[Ridic]

i have that too. I like the fact you can shoot body parts off. The thing about RS though was that....i just dropped him. It was so cool. 1 shot..BAM right in the neck and makes him do a 180.

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

Hmm... I only played the demo, and it was stupid. It lagged like a bitch. Maybe ill pick it up, though.

hehe yea, it laggs like hell sometimes. The full game dosnt lagg that bad though, at least th warez one dosnt.

The lag in the demo only happens on most servers. Its funny though, you press fire button, and you have to wait 2 seconds for your gun to actually shoot.

I guess he doesn't know...

 

[Sp0ck]

A respawn delay of approximately 30 seconds is not entirely illogical. Indeed, one should expect some form of repercussions upon death, and not be instantly resurrected and reimbursed with full health. Without similar repercussions one begins to develop a tendency to place less value on ones own life, subsequently leading to eratic and careless behavior. This type of behavior is greatly counter-productive to the game.

 

[Gunner]

Well my pointy eared friend, the respawn timer should be set accordingly to the game mode: deathmatch should be instaneous for example no matter what.

 

[mindless_moder]

jeez look at u all ,hl1 mp didnt have a timer hl2 wont atleast deathmatch wont im thinking they will have different mp modes .

 

[dawdler]

So respawning at all is logical when you die? I learn something every day

 

[Prince of China]

I knew kind of Karma has moved into town.

 

[GreaseMonkey]

I'm sure there will be a way to set the time. It's logical.

teh respawz is the fuxorz, playerz should be ASSSPANKED for getting killed.

Sidenote: The easiest way is still just control it via score. People who die would get more negative score than they get positve by killing a dude.

Sidenote2: This method works best with more score though, like Unaimed will have command and achievement score posts that gives a alot more score than all the simple dying/killing.

Yeah.......... i have no problem with that really ..i used to talk like that when i was about 10-11.......

but its nice to make grammatical-(BIG WORD ALERT!!) errors and not give a shit....

That and most people will have no idea what the hell you just said when you talk like that.

 

[Gunner]

You mean the "pwn hackxor l33t" way? That's just beyond the limits of human understanding lol

 

[ray_MAN]

Man I really hate that 30 second respawn in Enemy Territory so annoying you get out of the spawn and bam a stupid panzer whacks you in the face oh boy another 30 seconds.
America's Army is even worse just sitting out the whole round sucks waiting for a noob to die. Even thought he/she doesn't know what to do.
