The following information on Respawn Times is taken by information found in decompiled Valve maps, or by use of mp_showrespawntimes.

Respawn Waves

Team Fortress 2 manages its respawn times in waves. The default respawn wave is 10 seconds. This would mean that players are spawned every 10 seconds. However, when server population is high, you may have to wait for the wave after. In this case, the maximum respawn time any individual would have is 20 seconds.

Below are the respawn wave times set in Valve maps. ~5 seconds should be added to all respawn times to account for deathcams. Skipping the deathcam will not allow you to spawn faster.

King of the Hill

All KOTH maps use the same spawn times.

Owner of CP? Respawn Wave
Neutral 6
No 4
Yes 8

Control Point

Respawn times for RED. Note that these maps are symmetrical: If RED owns this many points, then these are the spawn times for BLU.

Degroot Keep has a unique set of spawns. After capturing both outer control points, and unlocking the gate, if the gate closes again, the Blue team gets an increased spawn timer. If both points are captured again, the Blue team's spawns are returned to 0.
