I'd like to see the "random" bucket be available for about 10-20 seconds, before any of the team-specific join options are enabled. At the end of this time, everyone in the "random" bucket would be assigned a team, and THEN the team-specific joins would be allowed.
Details:
- When a new map loads, make the timer start when the first player shows up in the readyroom. That should give most people a chance to join random (unless their HDD/PC is really slow).
- Display to players that they are on the soon-to-be-chosen "random" team, or that they can't join a specific team until the "random time" is up.
- Server option to set the amount of time given for players to join the random team (if 0, this feature would be effectively disabled)
Note: This feature isn't an attempt to address balancing, although it may be mitigated somewhat due to decreased ability to stack.
