<div class="IPBDescription">Estimating respawn time</div>I have read in the forum that respawn time is 20 seconds, and multilple hives/portals will allow multiple players to respawn simultaneously, rather than queuing up. It´s the same idea that in dod? or it means that if you have one portal/hive you can only respawn one marine every 20 seconds?
Anyone could explain it in detail?

    If I remember rightly the maximum waiting period is about 20 seconds (stc and my bad memory).
    Only one marine can spawn at a gate and so if your whole team dies you have a while to wait for them all to come back. If you have more than one gate then more than one marine can respawn.
    Course Im not a def and they may change it all just to prove me wrong <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Respawn times and modifiers to respawn times are very much under-review and being tweaked, so any speculation would be fairly pointless.

    Yep, CMEast is right.  Currently, the respawn time for both aliens and marines is 10 seconds.  That means that every 10 seconds, infantry portals and hives respawn a dead player.  So having more infantry portals and hives will mean there will be a shorter wait.
