@SolitaryMassacre My experience with it is not so bad if you have good coms, get your mic on and tell your teammate you don't want to be respawn until other teams are fighting.
This is what we do all the time, when other teams are fighting the respawn becomes totally unimportant to them so you can quickly get to a deathbox close by and get a violet or red evo shield very quick along very good guns, optics, ammo. It takes 3 seconds to loot a deathbox when you have nothing on.
