Countdown starts too early

[Cyrai]

Countdown rounds start far too quickly. Whenever the server I'm on switches to Countdown, the rounds start before I can join. When that happens, I have to wait until the round ends or, if I'm on the attackers, I respawn.

This is completely ridiculous. I have a pretty good computer, and I completely defragged everything after the beta was released. No matter what I do, I have to wait a while before I can join a countdown round. There should be at least a thirty second timer before Countdown rounds start to let people load the map and join the game so they don't miss the first round completely

Yes, and even:

There should be a preparation time before each objective, so defenders can set up their defense, and it could also allow people whose PC were loading the map a bit slower to spawn. (Because yes, you're considered dead if you join a bit later).

EDIT: It should also not end the round just because Team A captured the first objective and Team B didn't in the previous round.
