Alan Kertz the Senior Gameplay Designer at EA DICE has revealed that players will not receive invulnerability when spawning in Battlefield 3.
When Kertz was asked if the invulnerability in the beta would transfer into the final build, he speedily responded “It’s removed as soon as the player gains control of his player and moves shoots or aims.”
While this is more realistic, it might result in more spawn kills. What is your opinion on the removal of the spawning invulnerability?
Let’s get this straight: I hate getting spawn killed. It’s the worst. And for that reason, I wished that DICE had included a couple second invulnerability after spawning. HOWEVER! I am glad they did NOT include it in the final version. Because then it would become a tool: Three people spawning at the same time and rushing with their second and a half invulnerability, dominating the enemy’s front line. Battlefield should stay true to it’s realism (or as realistic as a video game can get).
