Unarmed Spawning is bad
Unarmed spawning is garbage in every game it's in, especially when people can chase each other down as they fly down from spawn. Half the forum is complaining about loot and lack of gun spawns, but i...
Really, my issue isn't with the naked respawn, but with the lack of options you have to re-outfit. If it's early game, then sure, you have time to get built back up, maybe even to "full power". But if the circle's closed a couple of times, then scrounging becomes difficult at best. To make matters worse, if you resupply your fresh fish with your own stash, you become seriously nerfed for the end game.
That could easily change if we were allowed to carry weapons in inventory slots. When your buddy spawned in, you could just toss out a Wingman you don't currently have equipped. This still represents a serious trade-off, as any team that carries spares is nerfing their own inventory space. But I really don't think it would mess with the balance more than they'd like.
There are options, in other words.
@ShadowDragyn What you said, just being able to carry a spare gun to drop would be great, as long as armor isn't included as people would start having spare 4-5 slot armors in their inventory to recharge.
I think spawning with a pistol will still end in a giant early f*ckfest. I'd rather have 100% weappon spawn points, the weappons should be random, just not the spot. That opens more tactical options and a better coordination of your team since you can decide "alright lets drop this point and pick up the nearest spawn". Imagine picking up a weappon and getting shot in the back by a pistol.. it's just not a great feeling. "Well you just gotta be fast or look out for enemys u dongo." No. That's not what the game is about, one "selling" point of the game is it's pace, you slow down the early pace of the game if you need to watch your back up right from the beginning just to pick up one weappon.
Really i think the "let me spawn with a weappon" thing is a cry out from people getting shot because someone else got a weappon and they didn't. It does absolutely not add ANY value to the game.
