Don't underestimate the many use of the spawning time, for exemple, when you play the americans and an axis took the back the bunker spawning flag (as well as any spawning flags in any maps), you don't have much ammo, you are near the bunker and you want to take back the flag.
If you go runing in without looking when is the next respawn, what may happend is that you will take back the flag, get attacked by a roaming axis, even kill, and by the time the time of spawnig, the axis guy takes back the flag. This results in a spawn at the beach for severals players.
On the other hand, if you take the time to look at the spawnig time, you juste have to run in and take back the flag a sec before a few friends spawns by your side to help you defend the bonker by your side if there is a thret (spelling?), or folllow you for an other squad to the docs.
Finally I want to thanks Burningwick for your reply, and Killer Mike for your support on the idea that spawning time is a tool to become a bether player. I must say I was a bit surprise that very good players such as slauther and #1HitPoint dont use this tool. It remind me the deapth (spelling?) of this game, Im amazed how much you can get bether and bether. I love this game
