    Stole this idea right out of a steam discussion.

    If it's obvious a team is losing they could put it to a vote using the current voting system and if everyone on the team agrees they can forfeit. Simple

    Thoughts?

    Votes for nextmap are exactly what you're asking for. Same invention just with a different name. (And team only?)

    To be fair, most people use next map for this. I do think this would just be useful for the sake of saying OTHER TEAM WON THE GAME.

    I hate nextmap votes. In my opinion the game is the most fun when there's a horrible stalemate, the landscape is full of craters, and both teams are running low on resources. If it was up to me I'd replace next map with forfeiting.

    This is just a team sided next map and something like team sided forfeiting would be abused alot more then the usual "omg we're losing :c" nextmap proposal. Every time a sore team loses the advantage they could all just tell each other to vote for a white flag with the opposing team having no say.

    Why don't people just wait until they actually lose? It's much more satisfying for the other team that way. If this was implemented, no team would actually ever win a game. Also, I've joined the losing team on a pub match where the enemy had one wood door to break through before they won. I then led my team in a glorious last charge akin to the final ride in LotR: Two Towers, and we won. Just because you think you're losing doesn't mean that you will actually lose.

    I think too many people in the playerbase can't have fun when they aren't winning and would abuse the ever-loving christ out of a "forfeit" option. Keeping the nextmap function as it is at least doesn't legitimise that train of thought.
