That is about the best thing I've heard all day.

No, they take the negatives from games an instead focus on positives. What they do is try to increase the number of people playing instead of looking at menu screens. Looking at menu screens is fun for nobody.
Exactly. "Penalizing the player for death isn't FUN. So lets make it easier."

I hate that.

Why? Define.
Having to go back and head back to the fight had two reasons.

1) Dying meant that you had a reason to not die. Otherwise have fun getting back.

2) Dying meant you're out of the fight. BF games respawn you right back into the fight.

Dying should be a penalty. Making it easier and easier to get back means death becomes more and more trivialized.

Herp derp, no reasoning.
I just did.



We obviously like different things.

I like risk, and having to be careful.

You like fast gameplay.

We're not going to agree on this.
