Is this any different than the people that are for respawn for the sake of being for respawn? Shall I just dismiss you out right like you attempt to do with this post?
Being for respawn for the sake of respawn is not better, but i have the feeling that it's less common (Most given reason is "eliminating kill as fastest win condition to put more emphasis on playing the object). This post was directed towards the "hurr, go back to CoD, durr, " posts which tend to flood respawn threads. Yes, there are many posts with well conceived arguments against respawn, but the amount of "I don't like it, which means it will destroy the game" posts in these threads is frightening.

Actually, in most of these threads people are asking for endless respawn(or a ticket system), but lets say this one is different. Taking your example of c-bill reduction if the penalty is high people will only be careful until they get killed, and then don't have to worry because they already lost most of their possible reward. If you make the loss too small nobody will care if they die a few times zerging the objective. It would be nearly impossible to find a good middle ground that won't **** people off.
Sure, it would be a difficult balance act. But the fact that it would be difficult to balance shouldn't be used as an argument against respawns in general. Just because it would be difficult to balance, it doesn't mean a respawn gamemode doesn't "fit" the game. Don't get me wrong, i know bringing a respawn gamemode to this game would be hard. I just don't like the fact that so many(certainly not all) dismiss the idea without giving comprehensible reasons for it.

Seeing as the OP was calling for respawns in both of the current game modes, and at most was willing to throw a bone to the rest of us in the form of a mindless death match mode I will have to say this is nonsense.
I have to admit i somewhat read over it. I'm just tired of the countless number of respawn threads we already had.
Respawn should be a seperate gamemode for sure. Let the guys who want to play with respawn play with respawn.
If you don't like it, don't do it. This would be a basic requirement for a respawn mode.
PGI has screwed up the 1PV/3PV queue (read: queue =! gamemode), so our trust in creating a new gamemode is rather small. But saying "they didn't seperate the 3PV queue, so it is sure that respawn would affect everyone" is nothing but a wild guess.
What i really don't understand is guys being against a seperate respawnmode which wouldn't affect them at all just for the sake of it. And there are many of those on this forum. Screaming no just for the sake of screaming no.
Thats basically like saying: I don't like chocolate ice cream. Noone forces me to eat it, but i'll still scream at everyone who likes chocolate. They are messing up my banana ice cream while eating chocolate.
