Explanation

When playing the game for the first time in a session joining the server will end up losing my connection and sending me back to the lobby. This happens at least 2 times sometimes 3 before it goes away for the rest of the session. I also get the lost connection error WHILE I am in the menu, which doesn't make a lot of sense, as that should be client side... only to get sent back to the menu again. I think the networking code in general needs improvement. My internet is very good and stable, and I do not have connection problems on any game or in general. It is a Forefront specific issue, not on my end.

Also as another networking-code related suggestion, you should not be able to join a server that is full only to immediately get your connection rejected and sent back to the menu because the menu thinks the server is not full. You just should not be able to connect in the first place, which would save a lot of time and frustration.

I love Forefront but I have been having a TON of network bugs, and it seems the game needs a lot of networking improvements. Thank you
