Sigh. This was taken at the start of the round,
and half way through the round, the teams were still like this.
I can understand that the USMC has better vehicles & what not,
but Insurgents aren't a bad faction at all,
and I actually like playing as them more than the USMC.

That is pretty ordinary.
Anyone say something? Usually if you do a heap of regulars jump teams to even it up.

There are so many new players. It would have to be more down to cowardice than patriotism.

Did they all actually expect to get the A-10, lol?

Ordinary? I usually see 1-2 teamstack, or ant the most 3-4. Usually if I mention it to the other team a few people switch over. I know I always do.

Yeah, in almost every game that has U.S. vs any other faction/army/nation people choose the U.S. Every single time.

It's realism! USMC outnumbers insurgents IRL.
We should try to recruit some Middle Eastern players so we'll have people willing to play as MEC and insurgency

Yeah that happened the other night on BIGDY. US had too many and someone typed a comment. In the blink of an eye there were too many on the MEC side, a few minutes later the teams were as even as possible.

Autobalance can be a pain in the butt. Sometimes you're playing as a squad and one of your squad members gets switched, possibly ruining your squad.
I prefer it when autobalance is off tbh.

heh well uh.... servers should be running the "smart" autobalance from Mod Manager.
This really should be titled "A Dark Day In Server Administration" cuz I take offense to the title of the thread pointing out a mod problem when it is in reality a server admin problem.
I've edited your thread title so you don't have to.

I'm with ya. I normally play Basrah for the insurgents. I love the jihad-mobiles of doom and the C4 dirtbikes of doom
I also like shooting to the air and shout "DIRKA DIRKA!"

I take my turn.
Simple as that.
Rount #1 - Insurgent
Round #2 - USMC... and all of a sudden I have 26 players on my team
Dont worry - i was there at the time - I saw that nonsense happen. Made me want to re-join Insurgents (like I did the previous round) just to show them a lesson.

Hey I was there, and it did even out about ten minutes in. Thanks to people like me who manned up and switched over to insurgents.
