Respawn

In the current beta that we play, IMO, it seems like we've been given a respawn style game without the respawns. A health system allowing headshot revives, cheap kills with guns that are oddly 'balanced' (???), limiting maps, and infinite stamina are only a few things. It got me thinking, why is the idea of a respawn so frowned upon? When the game came out we had ESP callouts and cod-style hitmarkers. When I was thinking of one single feature that would make the game instantly more fun, respawning was the only one I could think of that you could add but leave everything else as it is (minus sounds maybe). Why is it ruled out? Simply because of the "America's Army" in the title? Because that doesn't mean as much to the game as it used to.

To be clear, I don't need respawns, and I'm not calling for their implementation. I'm just curious what everyone's opinions are, since it appears the topic doesn't come up much in AA circles. The game is obviously not the mirror of reality that it used to be.

    I don't see how respawns would work in this game and I don't feel like it fits the game. However some team deathmatch mode would be great.

    #1. is a no also because the dev team has already stated respawns will never come in the game. #2 is a yes because I do believe a behind the scenes team deathmatch sort of mode would contribute to the game an add to the player base and help people develop skills on this game faster.

    The only reason I want a (team) death match kind of mode is so I don't have to wait 3 minutes till some camper finds the flag. Just a waste of time.

    Yes, I know it's not America's Army style but does it hurt the game? No.
    If you don't want to play it you don't. For me it would be a big +. Aim practice for the win.
    Scrims / matches are the perfect AA experience for me.

    This one is for the devs. If you're going to introduce such a system then PLEASE make the warm-up mode a bit better. No spammable nades, killfeed, match start on vote.

    Someone made a custom map singleplayer just to do that: practising. Non the less adding more gamemodes without affecting thi one won't hurt. Maybe will call more people. But like I said in another post; we (devs mostly) should focus mainly on fixing the stuff first than add those things.

    The revive system "as is" is fine. No need to change. I don't think a Medic role is even necessary. It would need more bug-susceptible coding to basically replace the system that is in place now.
