SIEGE - Defense Timer Adjusted to Population

PROBLEM:  In siege, when the population is low, the 30sec defense spawn is too high and creates gaps in defenders that make it almost impossible to defend maps.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:  At certain thresholds, have the defense spawn time go down in duration. 
Here are some possible thresholds.

Defenders/Spawn Time
     20+     /     30sec
    11-20   /     20sec
     4-10    /     15sec  *4 is listed as the minimum because it takes 8 total players for a siege mode server to start counting modifiers.

Again, numbers are just thoughts, but I think the PRINCIPLE would really help in Siege when the population goes down...AND since I think we need more siege servers anyhow low pop might be more common if there were more siege servers to spread out the population.

i agree with OP, its pretty bad late at nite.  Attackers always roll defense.  Last nite we went 3 maps on attackers and didnt lose once
