Agreed, the selection used to be 'stikky' needing a couple of clicks to
choose team sometimes, Ive heard complaints before but it was just an
annoyance then, you got in on the 2nd or 3rd go usually. BUT, since this
patch, its a lot worse. Me and others are getting literally stuck -
choosing either team, or auto, or spec just returns you to the choose team
menu over and over again.
Also, can you please please look at the avanti bug where the round restarts
and the grating doors are open, soon to close when the round starts, so
cutting off the 2 teams? Its still happening from time to time.
Thanks
