[quote name="Ray of Light "]If you check the "Is not full" box, you get a lot more insta-spawn results (%-wise), because the very best servers are full a lot. The mediocre ones (including all instaspawn servers here) are more likely to have 2-6 perennially open slots. The popularity of instant spawn will wane as the player base gets more skilled. It's especially bad when they do it on a map that is supposed to have asymmetrical spawn times, like Dustbowl. In the meanwhile, connect and setup time is so long that's it's worth waiting 5 minutes for a slot on a good server rather than trying to settle for a shit one. I don't understand wanting a multimap server. I join, play a few (crappy) fast rounds of the map for warmup (while the teams shuffle themselves to account for my presence), then spend an hour or two on one good match, then quit to let my right hand uncramp. Map switches just seem to empty out the server, mess up the teams, and slow down this whole process.[/quote]
