The glitch i was talking about had nothing to do with callvote thing but people read that post at forums and do it because they want to play versus on 2 missing campaigns so dont confuse it with this thing. This "glitch" has been in the game since pretty much from the point where plugins started to appear to this game and i suspect that this is caused by some plugin like i said before. Game just changes to versus after 1st stage of a campaign instead of 2nd stage of a campaign. At the moment it happens, you can see the "poster" of another campaign while its loading - unless it changes to versus on same campaign as you were playing.
