Why cant we change class during warmup?


(FireWorks) #1

Hey guys!

I wonder why we cant change class or join the first spawn at the beginning of a map once the counter has started. Exedore, can you maybe explain these decisions a little? I just dont see a reason for this limitations and get often annoyed because I miss the first rush with the right class.

you can, you hit start and go to changes class.

At cinematic of match you can. On Xbox you hit start, bring up the scoreboard and hit B during the animation. Then you are able to select Change Class and use the command wheel.

Well on the PC, once the warmup counter starts the change class option of the menu is greyed out and you are stuck for this time.

Oh you mean the countdown before the match starts, yeah I don’t like that either. I thought you meant the warm up freeplay before the match even started.

And also if youre PC is too slow, you can watch the first spawnwave as spectator. Instead of being added to the first wave…

That stinks. Hope it gets tweaked for ya. Its a useful feature. Sometimes waiting to change at the Command Post at the start of a match is not ideal, I know.

If you had read the whole post…

Its about the count down when your team is already standing still for “deployment”.

yeah i think it also depends on the server some require ready up of multiple people which gives you more time others start right away. I actually was in a server the other night where the first wave of our team was 1 bot… needless to say we didn’t even get a chance to get to the first objective, and the he charge timer was already half over before we got a chance to even contact an enemy. I load fast but still sometimes don’t get to spawn in the first wave on servers without ready up even though I am loaded up and waiting for match countdown timer to start only for it to start and not spawn me… and it sometimes only does like 3 or 4 humans. Servers with ready up I usually have time to change pre-round but without it is hit and miss.

what also puzzles me, is that I cant have a bind for class selection

That would only be useful in warmup, where you spawn next to a command post anyway. Can see why they removed it.
