personally I don’t believe it should be allowed. a player should rely on his own knowledge of the game to time spawns and to know when it is or isn’t to push because of that.

It’s allowed, but really not that useful. It takes longer to read the mess of jumbled numbers it prints out than to just intuit it. You’ll probably find that by the time you’ve worked out when the spawns are coming, they’ve already come and gone.

I dont use it, but heard somebody used it. Idk if it should be allowed, but anyway its not useful for me.

SSSSHHHHH DONT TELL EVERYONE xD

Anyway, you can’t really start banning it now, it’s a feature that has been in the game for ages, and Valve has kept it there. Considering there is a quasi-randomness to the respawn times, (they are tied in the waves+spawn multipliers which keep running throughout the game, if I’m correct? Not entirely sure though) it’s only more fair to allow mp_showrespawntimes, as this game should be as little based on random factors as possible.

It’s like banning item/hat switch in resupply to jump back in spawns to retain uber (on badlands… Isn’t it weird by the way that badlands is the only damn map where you can get back into your resupply? Even cp_well had its open resupply removed) … It’s built in the game and obviously not a bug, so why ban it.

What does this command even do? I’ve never heard about it before.

it simply prints a message showing respawn time of both team

Actually never knew you could do this.

I have respawntimes bound to tab but I don’t think I ever pay attention to it.
