[Suggestion// Mechanics] 20 second warm up per map

I've posted this before, but I haven't been able to find the thread again.

I was thinking of a 20 second warm up at the beginning of each map before the first "official" round starts. Like TF2s "waiting for players..." phase, or Unreal's "awaiting other players..." phase.

This will serve two purposes :

- Allowing people to download the maps when the servers are updated, so they won't miss the first spawn (will also save them from getting spawn raped by cav that might load in faster)
- This will allow Banner Balance to kick in for the first round.

At the end of the 20 second warm up phase, players will be subject to Banner Balance and will be balanced INTO the first "official" round of the map. Which will be beneficial to clan members who are interested in working together on the pub servers without having to wait one round while they wait for Banner Balance to kick in.

Thoughts?

Edit; Please vote on this, if we're lucky, the wonderful devs will see this!

If you think that the time should be something other than 20 seconds, please post with a good explanation as to why it should be the number you suggest. That way, there's at least some reason to your ideas too!

If no, obviously, reasons would be nice

I've been for this, but don't know if it is possible

As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

I have a fast connection but downloading any new map except really small ones takes more than 20 seconds. And everyone else would have to wait for that time on any new map, thats just a waste of time in my opionion.

It would also fix the "doors and gates have less hp on the first round" thing that happens in siege servers. Too bad. :/

I want this SO badly. It's very useful for everybody and their kittens.
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

So teambased games like CS & TF that outnumber cRPG by magnitudes must not be doing something right, eh?

20 seconds allows TEAMS to scramble together basic initial plans based on the map that just got loaded.  And THOSE players even have the benefit of knowing which map will be next (due to admin plugins) since they're maps actually have friggin NAMES not ###
