when you create a blitz server, you only have 40 seconds before it starts.

no one is joining within that amount of time.
Take away the countdown and just give an option to start the game when a second player enters.

Actually, I think something between the 2 would be better. If the autoo-start becomes optionnal, people will be able to go afk in lobbies without any client player being able to do anything. My suggestion would be to automatically start the timer when a 2nd or 3rd player enters.

What about you all have to press ready or like 3/4 since someone could grief by not clicking ready.

We'd also need a text chat in lobbies then so we can tell people how to start.

The ready button doesn't seem to actually do anything in any mode (once everyone is ready), it's more to just indicate that people are ready. I don't like how Blitz starts counting down the moment you set it up, I'd like to wait for some more people to join before I do.

Would be good if it required 50% ready before it starts the timer like it does in some Killing Floor servers. Then with 2 people, one ready is all it takes to start the countdown. With 3 or more players 2 ready would start the countdown and so forth.

Currently I've never been hable to play in Blitz mode with someone :P
