I'm not sure if it's been discussed before, but I have a couple of ways to help make sure public games are full of less ragequits and have a fairer start.
Firstly, I would like to see a server-set variable that determines how many people need to have chosen a side before the match starts. Currently, servers quieten down between maps and so the next game may start with 1v2/2v2 whilst we wait for servers to fill up again - seriously unfair on marines early game, which ends in quits or a seriously unbalanced match. Ideal options would be at least 3 or 4 a side.
Secondly, I would like to see the option to remove the Join Aliens and Join Marines exits to the Ready Room, forcing a random selection, so people don't hang about waiting for someone else to connect so they can join a particular side. This causes one team to have an extra player for quite a long time in the early game, which again can be highly detrimental. This option wouldn't suit every server, of course (public only servers as opposed to those occasionally populated by teams), but it would be nice to have the choice.
Thoughts?
