If it was intended, I'd expect no lobby, or a functional one, not a barely a lobby that doesn't serve any purpose, remember, this applies on joining one of my group's servers, not just on a standard manual DC, so it's the same as every client in every community will see when they join a community server. doesn't really strike me as ideal.
I'd like to see a lobby when you connect from the group server list, so people can set a game up before it starts, rather than having to run a few votes, just to get the game they intended to play. Also, it seems servers with sv_password set don't show in the group server list, so there's no functional way to protect them and have servers that are *only* joinable by my community, while not having to teach people how to open the console and direct connect manually. I'm personally really liking the direction valve are taking with this, but it needs refining a bit to be functional enough to replace a server browser.
