Add a delay on map loading.

A simple suggestion. Adding a delay on map changes to allow people with slows pc to start fighting with their mates at the same time. Why? Because nowadays, I'm seeing cav players that load maps fast abusing that feature to rape enemy spawn on 1st round start. That behaviour is very unfair and need a fix.

I have this problem when i need to download new map. my internet has 24mega speed so i should be able to download 4gb like 30-40mins, but for some reasons it takes 30-45secs to download the new map and i can join the game around 6:10 left in the clock =(

So i say hold until 50%

I bought a faster pc recently and now I always spawn first or second. This isn't really a problem for infantry but on a few maps cav could abuse that to kill people that just spawned.

Maximum map download speed is 20 kbyte sec. now. I think its must set 100kbyte sec. so we dont need delay time. But if 100kbyte sec. impossible my vote +1
