Allow the abortion of map loading

In about 80% of the cases do I get sucked into the next map loading process after a round end before I can actually leave the game.
In many cases do you maybe want to comment on the match that you just had in the lobby or don't even know that the server is going to change the map and thus forget about leaving in time. But I also had to stick around already because the menu opens so incredibly slowly when you load it for the first time. It freezes the screen for 2-3 seconds then, probably to load the textures.

So having a key ([UT2k4] like F10 [/UT2k4]) to abort the map loading and getting back to the main menu would be appreciated. Or announce the pending map change soon enough so that there is still time to leave.

    Good idea Crushak, perhaps an indicator in the Ready Room giving a countdown to the map change (and that it's going to change) as well.

    Can you just hit your tilde key and type disconnect?

    quit works to kill the game, does disconnect get you to the menu? Not a huge thing but would be nice to not have to close the game if I'm not done
