Please let us see in the game lobby what kind of mine timer someone has on. Too many games i've gone in trying to manually detonate mines so I can get past and they turn out to be instant mines. It's only fair I should be able to know about this before I choose to click ready and start the game.
Additionally it would be nice to know if the person has enabled loads of superweapons. I don't like it when you get about 50 banana bombs and such, it makes the game redundant banana bomb spam, or whatever else superweapons there are. So i'd like to be able to leave the game at the lobby if I can see these things, rather than waiting for the game to start and finding them out. That is a waste of my time.

that would be nice and all, but i think it would be too difficult to implement to show what weapon schemes are being used, the best thing is to just ask the guys in chat first before you hit the ready button...

I'm not talking about showing the entire weapon scheme. I'm talking about "Are super-weapons enabled, yes/no" which means, if there's just one superweapon in the armoury at the start, even if its on a timer, I want to know.
Also the sad thing is it doesn't even say you're in a forts/deathmatch/classic game. Sure it says it when you're looking for the game, but a lot of the time I get invited to games by people who I know who play it. They don't tell me beforehand what i'm playing.
Another option is to publically advertise the chat button, please. No-one seems to know how to chat!

No, it definitely should be possible to view the scheme, every detail about it. It was possible in all previous games as far as I remember, why remove it? The mine timers being the biggest issue about it, I mean.
Btw when you are in a lobby, there is a bar on the top right of your screen that should read the current mode (Deathmatch/Forts/Classic). No need to thank me ;)
