T:V Suicide Punishment

I just don't see the value. All these variable ways to deal with self-kill introduces so much "if/elseif/elseif/else" conditioning for such a marginal change in gameplay it just doesn't make sense to me.

Unless we start talking like 5-10 second punsihments, which I cannot describe my hatred for in any game that inflicts them.

It all depends on how sierra wants to market the game. IMO if they want it to be a sport, then they should not call it tribes and put jerseys on us and keep the respawn low.

For war scenarios I like the idea of a spawn penalty, though I hate when it happens to me of course.

However, if they work the spawn points so that a respawning person isn't immediately in the action, thats penalty enough for me.
