Plus it ends as soon as two players are either on the server or possibly when they are on a team. Can someone please check each map type and find out for sure whether "Waiting for players" is Arena specific?

It's normally a locked cvar. Use "sm_cvar mp_waitingforplayers_time NUMBER" to change it.

And, it -does- happen on other maps. Defaults to 30 seconds after the map starts, and lasts until that time ends no matter how many players are available.

I don't know if I have experienced "Waiting to play" yet, maybe I have been just dealing at the moment with "Waiting for players".

You'll notice it anytime you're on an arena map and are in one of the circumstances I've mentioned above. Take note you must be using the original arena queue mode, though -- "tf_arena_use_queue 1"
