Also the poll isnt very fair since its the more established players who are registered to the forums, so they will most likely vote for 60 seconds. But if the newbies knew of the DP Forums 30 seconds would win by a landslide victory.

i was referring to that post....take all the newbies who arent on the forums vs just the people who voted 60 here

What is wrong with you people who voted for 60 seconds !!! That is so boring, even with a jail, and it makes getting spawn camped a million times worse !!! I voted 10 because it is closest to my perfered elim time, 15-20 (mabeyyyyy 25) seconds, because 5, and everything close to it, has been WAY over used by [OTB]Speed server, and other copies of the server.

We can stay alive so we don't care, also it keeps the people who suck out of the game for a bit.

No it's not it's becasue everyone dies sometimes, and when you do it takes forever

I do not suck though some maps, yes, at almost all jumps, yes, sometimes I get a bad streak, but in general no

You ever try to eat ice cream on a low elim server? ain't gonna happen. Ice cream dripping all OVER your keyboard trying to move your player.

I have.  That's not ice cream...


Back on topic, I think what a lot of people are neglecting to realize is that this game is designed to be round based.  How do you win a round?  By eliminating the opposing team's players.  That doesn't work very well if people are respawning every 15 seconds or less.  In retrospect, I think the way siege mode and counter-strike work with a round timer and no respawns seems to be a bit better.

Sure, everybody gets eliminated -- some more than others -- but if you're getting killed a lot, take advantage of the situation and chasecam some of the more skilled players or practice maneuvering the map.  Practice is important, but so is understanding how to play.  Watching more skilled players for a minute or two can  often improve your playing style more than constant game play for hours on end.

Edit: Spook beat me.

especially if that constant game is spawning, lining, getting lined, and so on.. which it typically is in speed servers.

The only thing is that Counter Strike, and seige respawns seem to drag on for a long time. Also, who would set the round limit time on a bigger map to a smaller one?
