Closer to our goal

Valve has released an official statement detailing how they are removing leave penalties and also adding the ability to choose our map. This is a huge stepping stone towards our goal and has liberated many of the problems this update brought. However, it does not address the ability to chose servers or join ongoing games along with removing the silly game timers that are now plaguing tf2. Hopefully in due time this can also be resolved but it is likely that it will not as Valve would have included it in this patch if it was going to be removed.
