I personally hate this new addition. It can especially be a pain on DM3 where when there's like, 2-3 players, it's a tiny map, and then tons of people join, and then you just have this tomfoolery business where everyone's dropping their guns or using the spawn protect to their advantage, effectively abusing it. On top of that, half the time it doesn't work as intended. Players can shoot the gun out of your hand while you're spawn protected, and additionally; sometimes the "drop your weapon" mechanic doesn't even work, they just sustain fire on you until it wears off. Overall not a very good feature. I understand why it exists, but overall I don't believe this is the correct approach, ultimately it's not working as intended half the time, I believe the best option would be to remove it rather than rework it. Overall, not a good fit. On the topic of spawn camping, I really don't think it's that bad of a problem, at least in DM3. Yeah, it sucks, but usually you can get back up on your feet and reclaim your score from the kill pretty easily if you know what you're doing. Spawn protection just doesn't fit in an arcade-style approach to a free for all. Dropping my weapon isn't so bad, if it wasn't for the fact I can't just pick it back up, I have to wait for the timer until i can pick it back up, instead of just picking it up and attempting to flee the engagement so I can attack from a different position. So yeah, no, not a good idea one bit, and the implementation of it has been a failure, not a success.
