Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

It's faster on FF anyway.

Well at least it stops Shootin' and Lootin' boosting being easier.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

It's certainly NOT just a novelty. It speeds up the game and definitely improves certain gametypes.

"Certain gametypes" meaning those novelty "party" gametypes?

Meaning many gametypes. If you had a choice, would you choose to stare at the respawn screen for 3 seconds or carry on playing the actual game? Eliminating respawn times would create a more action packed game. You could apply this to standard Slayer games or even MLG games or whatever. It doesn't have to be limited quirky gametypes.


The respawn time is there for a reason. There should be a punishment for dying and an opportunity for the other team to have a slight advantage after a kill. It would be nearly impossible to pull a flag or arm a bomb when the enemy team is constantly on the field, even after you kill all of them. The lull after a death is important.

Why did Bungie prevent us from selecting 0 second respawns in Halo Reach? The options are something like 3,4,5, 10, 15. Why not allow the user to input an integer? It would be much easier. This type of limitation occurs all over the game settings. Like in kills to win. You can pick 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500. Why can't I just type in a name integer of my choice? Whats wrong with having kills to win at 298 or whatever? It's just lazy coding from the programmers at Bungie.

I know this type of limitation occured in Halo 2 but there was a way around it - you could transfer the gametype save to your PC and manually edit the hex values in the save. So you could change the 3 to a 0 and have instant resawn. Or chang the kills to win to 67 or whatever . So this proves that there is nothing in the game engine stopping it, it's only the poor gametype editor that prevented it and Halo reach is the same.

It hurts the community when you put annoying limits on things for absolutely no reason, I hope 343i learns from it.


Probably because 1. If playing GriffBall, ennemies can spawn camp you.
2. The time to change your class.
3. The reason you have your limit to the number of kills is to keep it simple, they're not going to make it so you get your choice.
4. If they removed the spawn thing and gave you the option to respawn, why not let you make your own ingame classes? Oh wait because then it would be to much like CoD.
5. Stop whinning about it and live with it.

$50,000,000,000 REWARD!!!

Santa Claus must be stopped! He is a menace who is not only guilty of billions of counts of breaking in entering, but also runs an illegal sweatshop of midgets forced to work for no pay using stolen materials to make gifts that infringe on every company and manufacturer around the globe, causing world wide economic disasters. He is to be taken dead or alive!

I've never considered the possibility of instant spawning, but you're right about pointless limitations. It sucks that you cannot fine tune the gametypes and your creativity is limited to a permutation of preset options.

Worst argument I've ever seen... The door is over there ---->
