Respawn Time:

Normal Respawn: Time, in seconds, that you remain dead until your next respawn. Used in Deathmatch, Pointmatch and Rambomatch.
Maximum Time in Team Games: In team games (Teammatch, Capture the Flag, Infiltration) the re-spawn system is called "Wave Respawn". During the game there is set a global re-spawn timer for all players. It's cycle depends on the number of players in the game. When it goes to zero everybody that have been killed before - re-spawn and the timer starts again. For example: When there is 20 players (10 in each team) the timer will reach zero every 40 seconds. Every 40 seconds everyone that died in that time will re-spawn. Maximum Time in Team Games is used so that this time isn't too long, it shortens it to the value you set.
