I use the game timer.

Generally it's every 3min, 2min, 90sec from when something is picked up.

MLG is different. It has fixed spawn times.

aha :L but how do you know the exact time when the weapon's going to spawn? :\

  • 04.20.2011 5:01 PM PDT

You click the button when you pick up the weapon/powerup. Timer counts down..plays a voice message when the item has respawned.

Not sure who that question was directed at but yeah.

Some weapons don't respawn until the previous one has been dropped. There is a maximum number set on each map for how many of a certain weapon can exist at one time. It's a bit confusing.

For instance I believe you could carry around an empty rocket launcher for the whole match and rockets would not respawn until you exchange the empty launcher for something else or you are killed. When that happens the weapon will spawn immediately if the appropriate time for that weapon has elapsed.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

There is never a concrete spawn time in default MM.

In MLG:

Rockets in a 30 minute game will spawn:

1. 26:56
2. 23:52
3. 20:48
4. 17:44
5. 14:40
6. 11:36
7. 8:32
8. 5:28
9. 2:24

Rockets in a 15 minute game will spawn:

1. 11:56
2. 8:52
3. 5:48
4. 2:44

Sniper in a 30 minute game will spawn:

1. 27:26
2. 24:52
3. 22:18
4. 19:44
5. 17:10
6. 14:36
7. 12:02
8. 9:28
9. 6:54
10. 4:20
11. 1:46

Sniper in a 15 minute game:

1. 12:26
2. 9:52
3. 7:18
4. 4:44
5. 2:10

Custom Power-up/ Camo spawn

Every two minutes from the time you pick it up.

So even if someone is still holding on to rockets in MLG they spawn?

So in theory there could be like 5 different rocket launchers on the map if the players held onto them?

What does it mean to dirty a spawn/weapon in MLG?
