    Re: C'mon dudes, 1:30 to choose a Commander?

    I like the people who complain about the long spawn times. I especially like the people who feel they're departure is a real loss to the server, so they announce an indignant parting comment with some psuedo-english. Really, I do.

    'Cause when they disconnect to find a another server on which to increase the chaos in the universe, it makes a spot for a teamplayer who's been looking for a server like ours.

    Because, if it's not a bug, it's not intuitive and just plain silly. I don't want to have to unselect a spawn point every time a select a field upgrade, nor should I have to.

    The 'Select' button for the field upgrade should just select the field upgrade and allow you to continue customizing, not boot you out of the kit/squad update screens as well. This is not something that was a problem in BF2, because there wasn't field upgrades in BF2.

Selecting a Field Upgrade or clicking Ready to spawn / Enter takes you into spawn mode. If you have a spawn point selected, you will spawn. If you don't have a spawn point selected, you don't.

    Yes, there are other bugs in the game, but this one behaves consistently in my opinion. To avoid spawning, don't select a spawn point.
    Pressing 'select' after a field upgrade and spawning definitely isn't a bug. It's just behavior that I don't like. The spawn screen does far too many things now that you can customize your soldier and select field upgrades. Clicking OK may do something that the user doesn't expect.

    The spawning while in the spawn screen is definitely a bug. It shouldn't spawn the player while he's choosing a new spawn point, customizing his soldier or selecting a field upgrade. It frustrates the player when he spawns in a location that he doesn't want to be or spawns without customizing his soldier with that new field upgrade. It doesn't need an emergency fix since it has a workaround but it is high priority since it's behavior that shouldn't be happening. Plus, I sometimes forget to deselect my spawn point while fiddling with field upgrades.

    Thanks for information, guys.

    Now I fully see the advantages of a long wait time. Just another reason to play on the server, IMO.

    Hope to see you all on the Battlefield.

    Are you on the DICE programming team? How do you know it isn't bug? Maybe it isn't working as DICE intended and you found a work-around but call it 'the way they intended'.

    And where has anyone in this thread said EA/DICE sucks? None of us have, yet I get the impression you are bashing against people like me that said they don't like the spawn screen.

    But my point is no one in this thread did that, so why even bring it up? Bring it up in those threads.

    One plus that comes with a long timer between each round, that I haven't seen brought up..is it's a little extra time..to go to the bathroom. Nothing worse than fighting with a full bladder.

    Don't start it again guys. We all agree that the 1:30 start is good and the spawn screen may be a little confusing for some people. Don't start another EA/DICE thread again.
