Don't know if this helps or not:

I always suspect "sniper squads"

Maybe they don't want to play on the same team round after round?

I have only team-switched to either A: Watch over the USMC smacktard and I switched once today to help out a guy that was new to PR.

kind of suggests that auto balancing should be on as it prevents that sort of thing from happening. I've recently been on servers where you'll be down to 9 players and with 6 on one side and constant pleading for them to act like men and voluntarily team switch to even it out, they just keep silent and don't switch, even when you as one of the 3 tell them you will leave the server if they don't switch.

server admins, turn auto balancing on or you'll lose players who won't be coming back after poor incidents like this

The only time i ever team changed is when im trying to get onto a team of a pall of mine, squad bug(usualy dont work though), if the teams are unfair against that side, if the team i am currently on are the residents of Smack-tardvill.

yeh agreed i only team switch when a friends on the other team or he switches to my team, but thats always as soon as we join the server so we are not doing it for the points, because no one has any yet... unless the games already started, then we will switch onto the unpopulated team/

What I mostly hate about these kind of behaviors is that even if people do even it out later on, the round is dead anyways. As in the meantime they keep pounding on us, and the ticket difference is so big that no matter what good teamwork you put behind afterwards your team is screwed.
So the brave people who switched to help out get an undeserved and frustrating loss.

Except for once on Albasrah, 15 vs 25, and we blew them away so so badly.

So yeah, as we can't ban/punish each one of those Vanilla kiddies auto-balancing seems like the only other choice.

if a thing like this happens: camp em

camp em hard

the usmc should be full of smacktards and you might see loads of tanks rushing into cities w/out support, APC standing around completely alone. take position in back of the apc and wait for em to spawn. they wont get it until uve killed at least 10 (saws are a good thing here

)

ReadMenace, it looks like you changed teams too during the match.

RGG:Dale · Post by **RGG:Dale** » 2007-03-10 13:06

i never swap teams because like to stay with the people from the last round

and thats how you create freinds my dear people stick with the people who are in the same squad(theyll likely create that squad again next round)

theres no need to swap teams to help out another,its likely that theyll have some one experienced on their side.

and theyll form up maybe, generally their side is losing due to a lack of teamwork, and you aint gona change that, one person cant take on a whole side.

anyway if your new to the game you should join the other side, i had some random dude who wouldnt join the insurgents even though he asked me to teach him(he should therfore not be complaining and asking to be taught in the first place)

The only time I do it is to squad with my clan...
Or to go Insurgents again on Al-Baz because it's just soooooo much fun.

what a bunch of faggots, i hate it when people do that. something like that would call for me to grab a PKM and a friend with ammo and go to there main base and sit in the airport and lay wast. and when they complained i would verbally insult them untill they shut up or left.

Are you sure about that? I play as Schaeferov; do you see me on USMC two rounds in a row?

people who ONLY fly A-10s every round are notorious for doing this... when I see it happen, I have a tendancy to get annoyed and black them from taking off until they either switch teams or TK me.
