I'm not sure if it was just a bug on the Gloryhounz server or if it effects all servers - I wait my 30 seconds to spawn, which isnt bad, but when it gets down to +5 or +3, I get jumpy and all ready to spawn and take cover, but when it hits 0 after the 30 seconds, it resets to 5 seconds, and THEN I spawn - kinda screws with anxious people like me...

its not really a major problem, but just an annoying little bug I figured would eventually need fixed...

It's not a bug, it's a feature

Actually, there's two timers:
- man down at 30s, this is the time a medic has to revive you
- spawn time at 35s, this is the total time to spawn.

So what you're seeing is the remaining 5s of you actually being completely dead and non-revivable. Up to that point, you could have been revived.

I think there's a bf2 bug with the text, though... It could be worded better.

Makes sense to me. Good spawn time, makes me not want to get fragged,

I see, I thought it was simply 30 seconds of being dead with like the first 5 or 10 seconds being able to be revived, and another 5 seconds of being dead...

maybe you could add some text (smaller font) to show up during that first 30 seconds to say "dynamic timer seconds" + "(smaller font) until you can't be revived", cuz until you guys said what the 30 seconds where for, I was clueless, and searched the forums for "spawn time" and got nothing, so I posted here...

i do the sammmmething, im like oooh boy oh boy!!! oh... 5 more seconds, but i usually double check to make sure i have the right kit for my squad in those 5 seconds.

My thoughts exactly. Although I'm still
PWNED rapidly most of the time. I think
this feature adds to the realism, like it.
