Okay, I can't stress enough how annoying it is to go into a game when the Trader is open, and you can't select your perk or your character before you spawn. It just plops you in there. I couldn't pick my Firebug perk before I spawned, so I didn't spawn with my armor or my Mac-10 on WAVE 8, and I died soon afterwards.

I think this should be updated soon. What do you think?

The occasional instant-spawn-on-join is a bug. The first question towards fixing it is whether or not the end-of-wave respawn code checks each dead player's ready flag before spawning them. Unfortunately I don't have the source to hand at the moment, but I'll check when I do.

i think a better option would be to list what wave the server is on so you dont get people joining in on wave 8.

THIS!!!!

My friends and I were all talking about how we wished the server list displayed that in the details. I've never understood why the game didn't already have this in the first place, when I bought it. Its incredibly annoying not knowing how far along a game is before you join... especially when you're first starting out or trying to level a lower level character.
