I Actually love them, it causes me to think strategically as well as in general if i want to play more then i NEED to get better. Specifically i love TF2 Arena mode.
Multiplayer shooters- do you like no respawn game modes?

Title and topic are two different things >.>
I like games to have the option of no respawn or respawn
I actually prefer no respawn, or limited lives because peopel tend to be more careful that way, and it's harder to camp a respawn point for EXP

Yes, i do. Then again, the only multiplayer shooter i play is TF2 and i spend most of my time on PropHunt and Saxton Hale modes; Both of which are non-respawn types.
However, i do enjoy the regular last team standing mode every now and then.

Well the biggest reason for me dying in deathmatches is someones spawning behind me ... Or I spawn in front of someone ...
So I like Battlefield where you have a designated spot for the team too spawn.

Of the few such matches I've played, I'm not a fan.
All it takes is one lucky, early headshot and you've lost your chance for the entire match.
I can understand the logic behind them (die once, higher tension etc..) but they're not for me.

I routinely play ArmA 2 with an ensemble consisting of 75 other people, and if we die, we're out until the match ends.Z of the Na said:
And yes, I've once sat and waited, while in spectator mode, because one my asshat mates flew a UH-60 with himself and fifteen other people, me included, into a mast, causing a complete main rotor loss.
Nobody walked out of that crash.
It's still worth it though. Sure, the occasional "whoopsie" can be really annoying, but the knowledge that you have to sit and wait is the next best thing to knowing that your life could end. Sorta.
That's why we make people qualify in our training sessions before they get to do anything lethally dangerous or important.
But then, I guess ArmA is a bit more... teh hardcorez, for lack of a better expression?
For me it depends on the setting. My first extensive contact with multiplayer shooters was at a LAN party with friends. I think the no-respawn, round-based Counter-Strike is perfect for that. We had small teams of 4 each, so you never had to wait extremely long to get back into the action, and it's also no that bad to watch over your friends shoulder and shout advice at them. Furthermore, it adds a lot of nice strategic elements, because life is actually worth something and your team is actually weakened if you die. I didn't have nearly as much fun playing respawn games at our LAN parties.
I tried playing like this online, but it is much harder to cooperate. It's also a lot worse to sit out the rest of the round when you're dead, because your not having fun with friends and I'm personally less invested in the match, so spectating is also less interesting. Because of this I prefer games that don't have a lot of downtime when I play online.

When I used to play multipayer shooters on my PS2, I did like those kinds alright, or even more so games with limited respawns.
But in current-gen online gaming I always get killed in one shot by some asshole I see whiz past me as soon as I start playing. So I would hate to play a game with that setting.
