When you first join the server, you'll have eight options. Some may be greyed out. If so, those options have been disabled by the server admin.
1 Earth
2 Doom
3 Slipgate
4 Strogg
5 Arena
6 Just pick one
7 Random
8 Spectate
Press the appropriate number, and WAIT. It takes about three seconds for all the models and such to load. If you press 'fire' during that time, you'll be forced back to spectator mode. This is a bug and we're working on it.
Also, while in spectator mode, if you want to join a game (and the menu isn't present), you have two options.
Use the ESC menus, select a class, and wait a few seconds
or
Type /class CLASSNAME in the console, and wait a few seconds. Classnames are the same as 1 through 5 in the list above.
After a map change, you will automatically be assigned the same class you were in the previous map (no menu). Just use the two above methods of changing classes, either ESC menu or console command.
