http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Respawn_times

The wiki shows typical (not holding cp4) max respawn time of 20 seconds, but respawn windows themselves appear to last 8 seconds (or 7 if holding cp4, and gully seems a bit different). This seems to give a max respawn time for when you die 2 seconds before the end of the current window: 2 + 8 + 8 = 18. Also I don’t recall ever seeing a 20 second respawn. The wiki is wrong, or 5cp configs have changed?

I had a few 22 second respawn times on process in my hl official last night

I see plenty 20sec timers. You usually don’t notice them because you’re still calling where you died, etc pp; and when you first check spawntimes, you spawn in 15sec.

Yeah, I just noticed that.

But still, if you check the length of respawn windows they don’t go above 8 seconds. Could it be min 16, max 24?

Shouldn’t we be able to get this kind of data from logs?

Don’t forget deathcams are within the respawn time as well, so the number you see starts at an higher value (~5 s according to the wiki). I’ve seen plenty respawn times higher than 20 s as well, and not only on cp_steel. The wiki article seems to be incomplete at best, good find :)
