0000229: Survival: Add a Modified Countdown system at the start of each map.
This isn't a big problem, but I'd like to suggest having a Countdown at the start of each map in the Survival Gametype.

Although to avoid Complete Reset, after the countdown has expired no-one can join under normal Survival Rules.

It pretty much just blocks players from joining after countdown.
No tags attached.

There is a cvar called sv_survivalcountdowntime which allows you to change the time of the countdown for survival.

This only works for mission (re)start but this is request about allowing to spectating players to join the game after changelevel within some time and then restrict players from joining under normal Survival rules. For exmaple, this would be in use on Zombie Horde servers.

Is this still an issue?

Would it be a map reset-like countdown or a simple timer to allow people to join?
Because if you're playing survival and the map resets then wouldn't you loose all of the weapons/items you gained before?

No map reset, just a timer to allow people to join within the countdown is all.

Just a radnom thought, perhaps maybe not have lives taken during this countdown either, just like the other countdowns.

IMO, before attempting this, the weird parts of Survival should first be apprehended. I know one off the top of my head, which is the players being instantly removed as they die on their last life => No dead body, nothing is left after the player.
