Suggested changes to warmup

(Verticae) #1

Could also apply to the initial countdown before game start.

[ul]
[li] Instant respawn. There’s no need to balance warmup, so an instant respawn would be nice to have.
[/li][li] Instant class switch (no respawn needed).
[/li][li] Big ‘HIT F6’ notification.
[/li][/ul]

its as instant as possible. you just select class to respawn.

If I’m already a medic, and I want to be an engineer, I have to change class, respawn, sit out the spawnwave and then I’m an engineer. I’d hardly call that instant.

Your doing it the wrong way round.
k to suicide then press F3 instant respawn as engie.

Every change to warmup would be much appreciated. Waiting with even no possibility to move is boring.

Regardless that you can instaspawn when you press the class keys, should need to respawn at all. Just press the class you wan and it changes. Think ET:QW, CoD4 etc.

Although this is probably no-where near the top of the priority list right now.

I’m sure in a previous patch you could /k and insta respawn in warmup, but not any more unless you do the class change as iwound suggested.

Filling the entire screen.

im guessing it would have something to do with so many bodies at spawn since they dont disappear instantly so its a build up of bodies in one area causing the game to render a massive amount of those slows the engine down, so remove the bodies once the player spawns to overcome it

Indeed, a bigger “Press F6 to start …” text message would be welcome.
