Laddered games should require a 10 second warm up period, and to upgrade a computer (that runs games fine) or purchase a new one for one game or for a whole series of games that does not support the simple fair teamplay start off is simple stupidity.Why even play a rush map when you have 2 people on your team and there are 8 on the other swarming you in the first minute. It does make a difference, even in games with ctf.
Also, many people can't afford broadband, or have a reliable broad band service, so for all you people saying get a new comp or computer, you can all shut the **** up, and helpfully bring something new to the conversation because we don't give a **** if you have better jobs or are rich. We just want the game to be what it should be, fair.
And let me tell you, in RTCW, Tribes 2 or Jedi Outcast, the warm up means a lot in clan matching.
