Wasn't the only bug either, sometimes there'd just be the fading black screen forever after spawn instead of the minigame that should follow. There was absolutely no way out aside from RTVing or slaying Hale, and in either case I lost at the very least three Hale rounds because of this bug. And I value my Hale rounds. Don't want to lose them to a buggy map.

Popularity isn't the matter as much as it being broken. Also, I wouldn't try to discredit someone's opinion for griefing a few years back when you got a mute for voteabusing, a warning for griefing and a lifted permanent ban for a nazi objector all over this very year, but maybe that's just me.
