Uneven Teams Online!

This is a major problem, and needs to be addressed asap.

Too often The teams are uneven, and any gamemode other then Body Count is almost impossible to win.

It is most annoying when people change factions at at the start to be on the team with more players

Agreed. I was on the wrong side of a 7 v 2 match the other night after 4 of my team mates left. The other side were spawn camping too. It was so much fun!

I just left the room in the end and found another match.

Yeah, that's the solution

If I find myself in a game where I'm being relentlessly spawn killed or have no hope of winning, why bother staying? There's no penalty for leaving. The other thing that I find mildly irritating is when I join a new server, only to find I'm 3-0 down already on an incomplete team! I wish everyone was forced to hit "autoselect" unless they were in the same party together. Oh well. Generally, I don't even notice how many are on my team, unless it's massively uneven! If it's about the same, I just press on for the win regardless.

Obviously depending on how much into the game you are there is a penalty for leaving - you do not get any XP for that match.

And the winning team get x1.5XP.

Really?

I didn't know that! But I've only quit two games or something anyway, I think, which is probably why I haven't noticed. Good to know, though, cheers!

You can actually start a match with just one team.

I set up a room the other day with some avf boys, we all went isa and were waiting for people to come in, one joker came in, chose isa and started the match, he then quit.

They need to sort out the one person readys the match starts thing.

The host should have control, that way you can say you're not starting until teams are even.

We had this the other night too..
The other team left so we had no one to play! Took a few secs before I checked, thought maybe they were "hiding" somewhere!

I've found a solution, enable auto factioning.

It's not ideal if you want to be on ethe same side, but it ensures even teams.

Hubba-EX · 02-03-2009, 3:12 PM

Yeah, I just spotted the auto factioning option.

Also, they need to implement a party system. I do like how I can easily join guys on my FL though.

problem is when you play with randoms (which i try to keep to a minium). i was in one game where i could not get out of the spawn area. I found out there were 7 extra ppl on the other team camping out kicking our ass.
