next map loading press F10 to cancel....

Just as the title says you don`t always know which map is loading.
You always have to wait and when you are in the new map you can
exit if it is not your taste.

Yeah, and from what I've seen, the ability to cancel disappears once the map actually starts loading I think this was always the way with UT though, unless the client started downloading the map - at which point you could cancel again.

It was the same in RO1 at least, but in RO2 it is less obvious which is the next map, for example which map wins the vote (sometimes the most voted candidate disappears from the voting results list, but it still gets voted in). So some kind of tiny "warning" (Like a sentence stating "Next map: Station" press f10 to cancel) before the actual loading process would be nice.

I agree, and I've also had some odd moments on the voting screen One positive there at least, is I *think* they've fixed the problem where the "maps to vote on" list is constantly refreshed, and scrolled back to to the top. I was locked in the not-so-enjoyable metagame of "scroll and click your map, then manage to hit 'submit' before the list scrolls and resets". Tedious To be honest though, I don't often find myself on servers with voting enabled.

I could have sworn that very early on in the beta, it would show an image of the map it was loading. Now instead of doing that, it seems to temporarily freeze when it should be showing that image.

I'd love to see this feature made functional. If for no other reason than to provide a graceful method of exit for a break without a prolonged struggle.

it's a mild annoyance that i hope gets fixed when the devs have nothing bigger to fix. and i hope that day comes soon!

Furthermore in RO1, pressing F2 and choosing "Maps" you would see a nice list of the current map-cycle on the server if it didn't have voting on. I don't think that is present in RO2 except if some friendly serveradmins have listed the maps in the server welcome screen. Another reason to add a "Next map: X. Press F10 to cancel".
