serious Suggestion - Timer before we start voting to change map

[Kypari 579]

I was watching a stream today when the server the streamer was playing on started to do this:

After counting down it did the map select menu when you !rtv as normal.

I think if we can get something like this on our servers it would prove to be a really handy thing since I've noticed a bunch of people complain in the past about switching weapons with 1 2 and 3 and then ending up voting for a map instead of changing weapon, so they end up possibly dying or being a bit annoyed. Something like this would really help stop that from happening! Maybe a possible sound que too, like the announcer counting down from 5 to 1!

 

Thoughts?

Yes, on top of this helping to not interrupt the flow of the game for players, it would also encourage actually looking through and selecting a map instead of just instinctively choosing option one.

+1 to this because although it takes forever for the natural rtv to kick in, you can at least anticipate it with a timer.

Mmmm rtv stalling. Fun exploits. smh. Pulling a sans on everyone.

Aye nice, would be great to have so people can know in advance that the map is changing to be ready and possibly have some time to nominate something for the next round so +1

I can't tell you how many times I was about to frag someone and instead voted for bunker... please add this +1

Any chance we could have something like this implemented? Thanks!

idk why but my votes never end up counting the first time and that occasionally shafts everyone out of a good map

Yup, it's been looked into. Can't say myself how long or easy it will be to do, but it's not being ignored (y).
