I can’t see why when the players all spawn together for the first time on a map we have to load our guns.
The focus should be on moving to the vicinity of our Officer, forming up and discussing a plan. It’s one less job to do at a confusing time in the game and would simplify the forming-up process so you can focus on organising.
Thereafter, when respawning anywhere (flag or main) we should always have to reload.
