How Long Does It Take Each Team To Spawn?

<div class="IPBDescription">quick question looking for quick answer</div> I thought that it took aliens 8 seconds and marines 17 seconds, providing theres no que. Is this right <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> it doesn't seem to be.

If, for example, three marines died simultaneously and there's only one Infantry Portal, all three would be dead for seven seconds.  The first would respawn ten seconds later, the second ten after that, and the third ten after that, for a total thirty-seven seconds to have all three back in the game.  A second Infantry Portal would have the first two back up in seventeen seconds, and the third at twenty-seven seconds.  Three Skulks coming out of a Hive, by comparison, would take thirty-one seconds.

8+7 = 15

8 seconds between spawns, 2 dead aliens 1 spawns then the other 8 seconds later.

But if 1 dies it sits dead for abit before placed in rein line this is where the extra time comes from.

Young_Trotsky

so basically, if you're the only dead person on your team: 17 seconds for marine
15 seconds for alien

and each consecutive respawn after that: 10 seconds for marine
8 seconds for alien
