I was just curious to see what people do during map loads. I usually play Tap Tap or cube runner on my itouch. What do you do?

Read the tips (again, again and again...) check Xfire, grab a drink, release some bodily fluids, check what is going in the outside world, and patiently wait, hoping that for a change this time the game wont CTD when it reaches full load, after one map played. ;)

I used to do excercises while I wait (sneak in some pressups or whatever) but my new computer loads too fast

I load in under 10 seconds for all maps (6 GB of DDR3 at 1600 MHz is a godsend), so that leaves me just enough time to grab a drink. I use a portion of the 3 minute briefing phase to get something to snack on. Or I surf through the web, check forums and e-mails on my second monitor. :wink: Then, it's time to squad up and game on! :twisted:

1 GB here, it takes very long. But I just sit and wait when I play, which isn't very often, partly due to this as well as lag. Must... upgrade...

Play my electric drum kit, grab a drink, listen to the mumble spam, or use the toilet.
