Not a bad idea, but when there is 6 plus minutes left i find it a little boring. It happens alot in FFA and to be honest its starting to wear me down as far as wanting to play the game, i was really hoping for a complete game for my 40 pounds sterling as the demo had grabbed my attention. Alas 40 quid lighter i am disappointed to say the least. For me it says something when the Website forums are full of negative feedback and the Devs appear to be doing nothing to tell the community whats going on. Very poor PR on Crytek's part and now there on about map packs, it's all about the £ and $ not about a satisfied customer base.
Oh man you've got no clue what being in an empty server is like.
I was (and have been a few times) in an empty server in Bad Company 2 and considering how the counter's take at least 15 minutes minimum to deplete, you can go mess around to your heart's content for as long as you wish if you choose not to capture any of the flags or objectives
