(I hope I'm understanding what this new command does, as I have yet to personally test it.)
- Added "redirect" client command that can be used to send clients to a different server. Does not function for clients that came from matchmaking or certain server browser tabs. ^It would be nice if someone from Valve would create some guidelines on this. This command could be used to in a ways that degrade a players experience. For example (voided's thoughts): This could be used to create on mass redirect servers which fill the master list just to send people to one specific server. ^This example is a obvious no no. But what about this: I create a plugin that detects when my server becomes 31/32 and then redirect all new connecting players to a secondardy less full server. Is this acceptable? What about using it to load balance clients who are already connected to the server? It's cool we have a new command but what are the practical accepted uses that ask_connect_accept doesn't already fulfill? Some response from Valve would be appreciated.
