Much like Matt, we have dedicated a TON of time to ensure that all of our fast respawn timers are perfectly balanced.
We have a 24 slot stock respawn server, but it's the least popular out of all of our servers. People just don't like waiting, I guess =\ You're on the hlds list, so I assume you're a server op. Why not start your own sock server?
