i'm thinking 15 secs is great.  i would have to play on a server with 15+ to see if i like it.  guess that would only be good if there were a lot of ppl playing.

I agree. I play a lot on the Jolt Uber server with (max.) 64 peeps and 15 sec. works great.

it really depends on the number of people, more people the longer the respawn time should be

Small maps: 15 seconds; Large maps: 5 seconds. Compromise 10 seconds.
Servers that maintain a large number of players: 15 seconds sound good with the respawn timer cycling.
Take care.

15 secs is long enough,

15+ is way too long.. or server was set on 20 seconds... looks like ages!

15 sec should be enough for a player to repent for their sins.

I think it all depends on the server you are playing on and the players you have on your team. I been screwed from these long respawn times in that I manage to wax a lot of enemy and then naturally die and then my whole team who doesn't seem to care about protecting the flag take off. I'm stuck in respawn and all I can do is watch.

10 seconds in my opinion is good enough, in most cases you have to run for approx another 10 seconds just to get back in the action again.

but i wouldn't complain if it was 15... just stinks when your team is a bunch of n00bs

####...post duplicated.,

I've played on a 30sec server - imo it's just too long and breaks the continuity of the game for me, especially on ctf, inf, etc.

15's about right.
