A) Why can't I make a "Group" before joining a server to allow me to play with friends and not get swapped for any reason? B) Why can't I swap sides from Hotshots to Icemen or visa versa if I feel balance is rotten. I often see that one or two players leave and the entire game is 6v4 or 6v5, why can't I change team? C) When I press 'u' to open Allchat, if I press Escape to cancel it, I am going through three console commands before I am finally able to interact in the game again. Same happens with Team Chat command, it sort of "opens" the console if you press Escape for no reason.
Minor issues? I think that they are pretty important. They kind of influence the enjoyability of the game.
Well for me this isn't huge problems compared to other console -> PC releases. If they could be fixxed, I would probably purchase a second game just for the support.
These issues aren't a big concern for me personally in present time, but I recall them being the worst issues when I first started playing, so I actually wouldn't define them as minor issues. I'm pretty sure the lack in selection options could be something that drive new players away, as I personally started out wanting to team up with my friends.(mind you this was in the beta, so we had even fewer otions, but still, I'd like more certain choices )
