Lower spawntime!

I don't know if this is a bug. Don't think it is.
I have some time ended up with 100+ secounds in spawntime. Now this is more then 1,5 min. Is there any reasons for such a long spawn time. I know this made my buddy stop playing the game. What I want to say is that I would like a lower spwntime.

That was probably because of you either shooting teammates or civilians, which can indeed lead to a really high spawntime.

Well I remember one time I was i a 50. cal and saw some movements upahead. I started shooting and killed the target. Now I think this might have been a civi cuz i got 100+ spawntime after it. But I had no idea to start with. To me it could have been a sniper and then I would have been dead anyway. I real life I think they shoot first and ask later. And belive me when I say I'm the thinker, no arcading here

Spot them out first with the commo rose, if you see a huge red star on the minimap, don't fire. If you see red moving dots on the minimap, then open fire.

Well, it would work. I just don't want to get killed cuz I'm to slow. And this target was far away so i don't know how good the commo rose would work.
And to G.Drew, I didn't shoot the civi on perpous. So stop swearing at me. I know that you shouldn't kill civis.
Atleast you can lower it to something like 50-60 sec.
Hmm... No swearing, ok? If someone swears at you do NOT reply in kind.

It should only be that high, though it goes up when you kill more of them.

it should only b for 30 secs so it beats me how ur getting 1 min spawns, and u say u dont kill civilians on purpose?
check the wiki guide for answers if u havent already
almost every week i here of people that cant live with the long spawn times, the damage and the fact that a tank can kill u from a mile off
so bear with me if im a little pissed at, yet another complaint at the games core features
there is a reason, its not a bug

Anyway, shooting civilians shouldnt be taken lightly. Long spawn times are one way of doing that not worth it.. Other way would be starting to bleed, which would in a way affect your "morale".
But having a medic nearby giving psychological healing while you are shooting the civs would be rather funny....
Thank you for those words. As you can all see I've taken the bad language out of the "offending" posts. Try to keep it civil people.
Also, even if you accidentally shoot a civilian that SHOULD count against you. Always identify your target.

Longer spawn times are the answer.
start with 45 sec and add time as deaths increase.
Shooting civilians should be automatic 2min spawn time plus whatever other penalties you have accrued.
@ Engineer, ...when you were playing, you did not notice people saying NOT to shoot civilians or perhaps mentioning the penalties to the team in points ?
Every game I have played is full of text messages saying don't shoot civilians as well as donk't move the spawn car.

My friend came on for the first time on desert stom, got the apc, and probably got the world record for civillians killed in a round of PR- he took something like 10 mins to spawn.

Maybe there should be an official warning on the Insurgency-maps, no? Know its been said before.
Seriosly, even with the guide its hard on the beginners. Especially with the flaming they recieve when doing wrong. This civilian-stuff is pretty complex.

Actually, I dont have access right now to check it out, but are the map loading screens images(The one which shows the cappable flags) .gif's, or some other files?
And if they are gifs, does it support animation?
There we would have enough space to tell lot's of stuff, like how to act with civilians.
It says in the map description: "Civilians are still occupying the city, and must NOT be engaged"

Ah, finally we get some where. This was somewhat what I was looking for.
Sorry, I just get so pissed off when you guys take me for a noob going around killing civis. I have played this game for many many hours so don't take me for a civi killer. I just prefer staying alive.
And mistakes happen, we all know that.
So why don't start at like 50 sec and then rise it with 50 sec for every civi kill.
I just hope to get more people playing this game.

better , lets start with 5 min spawn time , and add 1 min for dieing and 5 min for killing a civilian! you will be VEEEEERRY carefull just like real life !!!!
, long spawn times are NOT the solution .
