Setup time table
Perhaps a table containing the exact setup time for all the maps that have it could be an useful addition to this page. This way, one doesn't need to go to the map's own page in order to see its setup time. Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2025 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21
- It would be neat, but would also have to stay updated all the time and I don't really see that happening. It's not a no, though.

- I have made a prototype of a table showcasing this at User:Lolimsogreat21/Sandbox/Setup time which anyone can contribute to. Currently, the only problem is that there is too much maps with setup time and displaying them all in a single column makes the table comically long, hence why I opted for dividing the maps into respective gamemodes, although this causes large gaps in the table itself.

Arena maps
I have noticed that arena maps also have a pseudo-setup time of about 10-15 seconds, during which time players are locked in spawn. But it isn't a true setup time; medics don't get the boosted ubercharge build rate and engineers don't get the faster upgrade boost. Should we count this as setup time and add it to the table?

- I don't think so, but it's worth noting on the article that it's similar but not identical. I think there's a short period of time like that on Foundry too even though that's not an arena map.
