Health reappearing delay

[zyxstand]

I know many of you have either seen someone do it or done it yourself (most likely both*) - When you shoot someone in ctf with a machine gun,  if they stay in the health-box section they're as good as invincible.  I suggest there be a smaller number of healthboxes for current maps (8-10?) and that after a healthbox has been taken, there should be a 10-15 second delay or so before it reappears where it would normally.  That way you can't easily stand in health boxes and it would get less abused.
F11 or F12?

EDIT:
And what do you guys think about limiting the amount of health each box gives, like 25% per box or 50% or whatever?

f12

Two things. First, I disagree with changing maps, that is a map specific function and there is no need to do so.

However, the second suggestion cannot hurt as a server variable, but I don't really see this happen too much to justify the addition of this. Meaning that it's not urgent and is probably overlooked by most.

I used to do this a lot, but then I realized how much I died due to nades. One good nade throw and you are dead if you stand still, so I say F11.

F11 if you can't beat  them then join them....

or after you have taken a health box you can't take an other one for 5 or so seconds

I didn't mean to let the srever decide how many nades - I meant that MM should go through his maps again and lower the number so that there isn't like a plethora of healthboxes all over the map.

I like that idea better with respect to preventing abuse...

[Sytrus]

F12, good idea.

[2big4u]

Good idea, but i dont it think it will create a huge impact. When i read the subject title, i thought you were gonna talk about health regenerating after 10-15 of no actions.

I hate it when I make it out of a heavy firefight and book it back to my base and realize that there is no health packs left just before I go down in a barrage of lead...

"after you have taken a health box you can't take an other one for 5 or so seconds"
This sounds alright,  the rest doesn't really.

[Zamorak]

Personally I don't think the boxes should respawn slow, just you have to wait 5 seconds before taking another one.

Total support! But it might me a little annoying to mapmakers :/

[Psycho]

I agree on a short delay before it respawns, but not a very long one. also the medpack must heal full or the ruger will just take out the effect of a med pack in 1 shot

Basically a good idea, but how about making it so individual players can't heal twice within a certain period, rather than changing the crate respawn?  Your way would also prevent their teammates from healing, which doesn't make sense.

Already suggested and I'd support it...
