Follow up to this. I've had a very cases where someone has spawned in mid round and when they die they can't respawn and get a 'waiting for teammate to revive you prompt'. This results in an entire round being 2v1 which absolutely sucks. It's only happened to me a few times but it's pretty lopsided for the round. The loot drops are actually pretty insane, I think I've managed to get one of everything to drop now after 2 nights of play. I played 20+ rounds last night with my warlock and got at least 5 raw engram drops. I've had the exotic sparrow drop a few times and can confirm that decrypts into legendary shards, I think some expected bright dust out of it. I ended up on an absolute tear last night rolling over teams and then I'm not sure what the hell happened but the wheels fell off. Went from 20-1 rounds to 3-12 getting shat on. I did change partners around that time but I was starting to question my life choices. In the end, I still enjoyed it and will play some more over the week, we had some epic duels with some teams going to sudden death that got the blood pumping.
