This has been discussed from time to time in the past, and AFAIK mp_chattime is used as a minimum delay, not a max delay. If you set mp_chattime to 60, it should force a minimum delay of 60 seconds and not change maps before that no matter what. If you set it to 1, it won't change maps for at least a second. This is usually not an issue because if there are players on the server, they are usually hammering the mouse or keyboard for the next map change. Is the server ignoring this and not changing maps for a minute, even when there are players hitting mouse/keyboard? I'm impatient - As soon as the end of round score appears, I'm hammering the mouse usually because I'm ticked that I wasn't number one and I can't wait for my chance to frag that jerk that keeps killing me :)
