I'm sick of seeing one team win because they purchase a new PC every 3 months and happen to load the map faster than the other team. DICE gave us the necessary tools to prevent this (the waiting time before a game starts during which you can also "elect" a commander), but few servers have a wait time of more than 15 seconds.
Re: Server admins, please increase the waiting time before the game starts!
Yeah it can get pretty bad sometimes. One time, on that one city map (with the tv station), the US guys managed to get the MEC helo before almost everybody was even in the game. THis meant that they had 2 helos for over half the game lol. They were almost invincible up there
Re: Server admins, please increase the waiting time before the game starts!
Agreed. 30-60 seconds is the considerate thing to do. I've joined games of Karkand where the US has already captured the second CP before anyone from MEC has spawned in.
It really is an issue - an early advantage like that can totally unbalance a round from the get-go.
Re: Server admins, please increase the waiting time before the game starts!
Our server has run a 30 secs start delay from day 1 to even the playing field. I know people with older PC's appreciate it.
However an older PC really only needs to get 1.5gig to 2gig of RAM and the loading times are heaps faster.

Unfortunately that is not possible to have round 1 (obviously when the map loads) have a 30-45s delay and round 2 on 10-15secs. Its one or the other. We find 30secs is pretty good balance, its not too long for round 2, gives everyone a chance to say gg and maybe duck off quickly before the round starts to get a drink or something.

It's pathetic. In maps like Mashtuur City (where there is 1 flag at the beginning) some guys can neutralize it, win the game and win the gold medal with 2/4 points
Re: Server admins, please increase the waiting time before the game starts!
you know...I'm more of a ground pounder anyway so I could care less about vehicles. I do understand what you guys mean though. I would be ticked as well. I'm just one of the lucky ones that load in quickly. Maybe its all the ram and great net connection I have.
