random spawn timers

[re8]

Seems like people like to camp power-ups to deny other their usage:

I never played DM in UT2004, but I know in ONS there are a few that would camp the vehicle spawns.

Perhaps a respawn randomizer for all the power-ups, vehicles, super weapon-pickups is in order? Maybe something with more umph, like a player's health starts to tick down if they stand in the spawn spot too long...?

I dunno, it's typically the new people that want to fly the Raptor and they camp it till it spawns.. I think they'll wait a little longer anyway for the Raptor to spawn. After all, you can't increase the time between two spawns too much, that would hurt the game, so this modification would need to work in a slightly different way to only discourage campers. Just varying the spawn times won't really work.

It's concidered as a skill to be able to time your pickups in DM/TDM. So loads of people won't want to do it. But a mutator for this would be great, just for publics who want something different :)

im with Taboen

Yep. Spawn randomizers are great. Just pack them all into one mutator, rather than a dozen small ones.

very well described

Shield, amp and invis are already slightly randomized by default.
You can still time them (shield is still basically 55 seconds), but you will not get it DEAD ON, only within a couple of seconds.
