Yeah I've been noticing that in the Q2 demos, it's like a more organic spawn timer.
If people had been mid gunning routinely in 2.8 the whole game would've collapsed lol. As competitive as we all got with each other at times, there was also a sense of competitive ethics that prevented double Sentry, double Borg, d-borg, mid gunning, excessive chasing, etc. You needed that because there were so many obviously exploitable strategies that ruined the game lol.
When all those were factored in though, the core game as we posted it was pretty great though.
