    Filter full servers. Are you seriously claiming, that there is no free server slot in your country?

    I don't think you understand, the queue system works 25% of the time. If someone else is in the queue its basically who can connect the fastest, the other guy just gets denied and a window comes up saying server full. So its not actually a queue. Needs to be fixed.

    Never had this problem myself.

    Why don't you try joining servers with 2 or more free slots?

    Because specific servers build specific communities with regular players. And Australia doesn't have many 24 slot servers that perform well, and the ones that do perform 90% and over are usually full.

    If everyone just learnt to queue properly, like the English, this would not be a problem!

    queue

    Noun:
    A line or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to be attended to or to proceed.

    Verb:
    Take one's place in a queue: "in the war they had queued for food"; "companies are queuing up to move to the bay".

    Yep Steam's system isn't a queue, it's just an auto-retry. I imagine NS2's is the same.

    Surely it couldn't be that hard to have a decent queue system. The good thing about steams is it will still try to connect you to the server if someone beats you to taking the slot. So you can go grab a cup of coffee and come back in the server.

    It shouldn't be, that's true. Each server could have a join queue which just lists the people waiting to join. There could be a max queue size to prevent queue flooding and so that people don't join a queue thinking they're next but are actually 20th (it should also inform the player of their queue number). Once a person leaves all connections to the server are blocked and the person at the front of the queue is asked (not the human) whether they are still waiting, and if so, they are connected; otherwise if after t seconds they don't reply then they are booted from the queue (timed out) and the next person in the queue is asked.

    Thus a simple system which could solve the annoying "Server full" message.

    I suggest you set up your own public server...

























    ... and still wait for 20 minutes to get a slot ...

    Woah woah woah what? There's a queue for servers?? Never even knew! Usually it just says server is full if I try to connect to one that becomes full.
    Are you using Quick Join or something?
