SHOW TIME LEFT IN SERVER SELECT

[panbient]

For ♥♥♥♥'s sake Valve instead of random weekly updates that don't noticably change anything how about adding something of value.

EVERY SERVER I've joined tonight has ended as soon as the first round completes. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you can ping and display the latency, and display the amount of players, then...

YOU CAN DISPLAY THE AMOUNT OF TIME LEFT ON THE SERVER ON THE SELECT SCREEN!!!

I want to play specific maps, not keep watching the load screen after playing half a round.

Type TIMELEFT in console or chat and it will display it.

But that requires getting on the actual server first. Which entirely missess the point.

I'm talking about when you're selecting them from the list on the title screen.

I just logged into the game again (because I'm apparently a giant sucker tonight). 3 more instant end servers.

What. The. Actual. F00k.

Pretty much all I got to do for the last hour was stare at the loading screen.

I see your point now after you made it a bit more clearer. I think you are just having bad luck. LoL.

usually when i want to play on a valve ctf_turbine server ... i see the players score
if their score is about 10 or 20 maximum then it is the beginning so i join
if their score is high like 50 or more then NO
it is a good trick for ctf maps

I just want to bring this up, as I find this really annoying too. Just a moment ago I tried playing sd_doomsday and first server where I joined changed map after few minutes. Next server where I joined didn't end up to sd_doomsday at all, but started loading ctf_2fort. Apparently server was just about to change map but was still listed as playing sd_doomsday in server list.

I often want to play some particular map, so it would be super handy to see how much map time is left. So that I can actually play the map I want. Just list it like:

SD_DOOMSDAY
Valve CTF / SD Server (Stockholm srcds150 #37)
24 minutes left

Or at least that information could be available in detailed server list where you get by clicking Servers in main menu. That list contains info like IP and Tags, but still no map time left. Only workaround is what Adnan mentioned, rightclick every server, choose View server info, and try to guess how long map have been played from top player's score. But this is just the stuff that computers should do for you! :-)

Date of last post is irrelevant when the situation is not resolved and still affecting other users. I realize it's not a trivial change / update to the product but I can't see how it's an impossibility either. If anything it would provide a better experience for the end user as they're able to make a better decision.
