Just wondering

[AWPerator]

Some of our servers have (or used to have) a #2 version, such as Dustbowl.

How come 2Fort has a Instant respawn version instead of just a #2?

 

[Frank Booth]

Because if its instant respawn it is not like the first 2Fort. If it were exactly the same it would get a # 2.

 

[AWPerator]

I understand that the servers are slightly different, but why 2fort? Why not make Turbine #2 instant?

 

[Morbo]

Probably because 2Fort is a very popular map, and we actually did have a second turbine for a few days.

 

[Thatguy]

I think we still do have two turbines, unless they changed it within the last 5 hours or so.

 

[I-Die-Often]

I think what he is asking is not why we don't have 2 servers for Turbine and such... but why not have the #2 server be different than #1 by having the #2 be instant respawn.

If I ventured a guess, I would say that it is because we are closing the Tubine #1/Warpath server in August and we do not want pubs thinking the new servers are going to be custom.... believe it or not, some people really dislike instant respawn (me included... unless it is Mario Kart). A shorter respawn would be nice though...

 

[Butcher]

Yea I wouldn't mind a shorter respawn but instant respawn I tend to dislike. Doesn't stop me from playing our instant spawn 2fort though for some odd reason. Then again I only play it when I feel like goofing off anyways. or Sniping

An instant respawn 2fort is crazy, but an IR Turbine.... that map is too small for 32 player instant respawn.

I look at respawn a consequence of dying. If you don't want to wait then don't die. It makes you play smarter and less suicide missions. With instant respawn you can do whatever you want and know you will be back instantly. Plus I like the ability to taunt after I kill.

I'm not opposed to a shorter respawn time. 30 sec is a bit much. Take it down to 20 or 15 sec. Just a suggestion. I'll continue to play regardless of respawn time.

Instant respawn 2fort = The best server in the world. It ads quite a bit of challenge.

 

[Lafinass]

Instant Respawn was already a popular setting for 2Fort. There was a demand for it and we have filled that demand. It is not a 2Fort #2 because 2Fort and 2Fort IR are essentially different maps for the player base they draw.
