I'm pretty sure that's what he's referring to. I play games where the spawn time is frequently over 10 seconds, and it really serves to make getting a kill a bit more useful. For example, in a 2v2 or something, it would become useful to kill the guy who's not carrying the flag, so he couldn't get ready to capture again for at least ten seconds, and scoring would be easier. And in most other games I can think of, when you die, you usually temporarily spectate, so it's not boring as looking at a black screen.
