Rainbow Six 5: No Respawns! | Forums

[GhostReconJunky]

Rainbow Six has been the best franchise to ever grace the FPS genre in mine, and many other's opinion. All of it's great attributes make it a knockout in SP and MP (with the exception of lockdown). I cannot stress how important it is to me, and many others that the team leaves out respawns. It'll make our community happier as a whole.

I really don't care if they have respawns as an option, myself.

What I DON'T want, is the way it was handled in Lockdown. If you want to add a respawning option, so be it, but DO NOT make the game less convenient to play in a non-respawn mode. DO NOT make it so that the only way to have a ranked server is to have it with respawns. DO NOT make us load the map between each and every round on a non-respawn server and DO NOT force people to wait until the end of a round to join a game that has respawns ON.

That is largely why there are so few non-respawn servers for Lockdown. If it weren't for all those issues and the dedicated server mess, the competition ladders would have started up and there would be a ton of non-respawn servers to play on.

If you're going to add respawns as an option, make it a bloody option. Don't design the game AROUND respawns and make classic gameplay an afterthought.

I think it's a good idea to have respawn as an option. In all the rpevious R6 games it was tedious when we're just in the mood for some tactical Deathmatch or mad Terrorist Hunt to have to wait for the round to end. Sometimes we (the group I usually game with) feel like a quick game, and having to wait just makes it frustrating. The respawn as an option idea I think first came in Ghost Recon, we never used it at first until we realized how long one person could survive, or there would be the occasional player who just left his game logged on but just sitting there doing nothing, while we waited for the round to end so we could spawn.

I dont want see RESPAWNS in a R6 game anymore.

So ( for devs & community managers ) donat make same error as in Lockdown.

[Dirtydog28]

No respawns no way, leave that for lockdown, or if you feal like some oh well i just died i will just respawn fun have a bash at Bf2 , its not for r6.

[XsargenX]

yeah leave respwan away from R6.

[Eldest_One]

Nope I think it should be added as an option.

I'm opposed to respawns in games that involve objectives. Missions are realistic game modes and should not be disrupted by fantasy features like coming back to life every time you fail.

However, I am not against having respawn as an option in game modes like free-for-all death match, team survival, tango hunt(coop). There is nothing inherently realistic about these game modes IMO although they can certainly be played that way. I just don't see why people should have to wait in matches that merely involve killing off the opposition. Those that would rather spend all of their time playing in these types of games should have respawn available to them.

well, If they do (hopefully NOT) include respawns a few things need to be changed

A. A spectator mode needs to be added (for both non-respawn and respawn servers...get rid of the viewable spawn areas (see below for reason, and this would promote spawning near allies instead of just a random location with an easy kill)

B. No Selectable Respawns with a VIEW (oh ill wait untill either a. my time runs out, or b. Someone runs into view where i spawn and while my respawn invinciblity is still on ill kill him)

C. Make it so we can have a selectable limited number of respawns (non-infinite, like maybe 5 per person and then they have an new type of game...last man standing )


I DO NOT WANT RESPAWNS, THIS RUINED THE GAME FOR ME IN LD
