Hi,
how often have you started up a map to try it out but then you died and to play it again you had to quit the game and load the map again?
Well, you could create a map-list with just that one map in it but even then it'll load the map again. And what if you want more than one map on the map-list but you still want to give this particular one another shot?

I think Killing Floor should have a "Retry" button in its escape menu. Offline this would mean restarting the map (if possible without loading it again, but if it's not possible a retry button would still be convenient) and online clicking it automatically votes for the current map (if the server allows this. If not the button is grayed out).

If all of this is too much work: Can you at least set the game up so if you play a map from the editor it is added to a maplist as the only map so if you die you can play it again?
It's inconvenient to either have to go to the menu to start it again (if it doesn't have a KF-compliant name yet it won't even show up!) or quitting the SDK, opening the game, adding it to a maplist and then play it.
 
I second this motion!

Nothing like carrying people, and then having those select few that get carried start the map without you. This generally leads to them failing miserably and not being able to play that map again without switching servers.

At least have the Lobby either alert or recognize that players are not fully loaded into the game yet.
