By making the game more accessible. Marathon should've shipped with the ability to respawn back into a match as a Rook. from a gameplay perspective, this aligns with how Rooks work as you don't usually enter at the start of a match but rather mid-match.
The friction that comes from dying, then having to go through loading screens/ menu just to get back into a match was clearly too much for a lot of more casual players. A respawn function offsets this greatly, as a Souls-like gameplay loop, and potentially keeps human numbers in matches for longer.
