Starting matches

Keldorn

When a map switches, you have the people that loaded the new map relative quickly and you have people that take a bit longer to load the maps.

What irks me is that usually a game starts with only 1-2 people on each team and the crucial first minute of the game is already over before the whole team has been assembled. Wouldn't it be better if it takes more time to start a match and do it more intelligently by only starting the match if lets say 70% of the players has choosen a team? Additionally, it would be even better if you have preselected a commander before the game starts, alot of games start when everybody is having "commander-phobia" as in, run as quickly outside the starting room so that somebody else has to com but in the end, nobody coms. :)

Ah, and something that also bothers me is that it is still possible to go over the max team limits of a team, like on a 20 player server, you have 11 players on one team and 9 on the other. If you ask to switch, nobody wants to switch and thats understandable. You'd lose your pres by switching.

some servers have admins on them, good admins restart when more people join. that way it's more fair when the game properly starts. :)

I'd really like a server with those two options:

-Only random option (not randomall, that only fills teams with afk people)

-Game starts only when teams are at least half full and have a commander.

i think the minimum requirement of people playing should decrease over time. e.g. after playing a long match (2 hours) you might end up with a lot of people taking a break in the ready room. if only 6 people want to play, they should still be able to do so. maybe it takes a bit longer until the game starts (which would then not be the case if more people join right away) but it should still be possible imo.
