Team Scrambling

Well, this is more of a server suggestion than a game suggestion, and I'm not sure how well it would work, but it would be worth a try.

As many of you may notice, it can be frustrating to be stuck on a team with no decent squads, and few decent players (i.e half the team is either unassigned or playing as sniper). It's extra frustrating when you're up against a team with particularily good squads.

I don't have a problem with this, except for the fact that the teams stay "uneven", although not unbalanced, for many games in a row. People usually blame it on the map, or the fact that their MEC the first time, but then, when the teams switch, we get our asses kicked again, as USMC on the SAME map.

Team scrambling might make for some less uneven games (face it, it sucks getting your *** kicked with such a high spawn time), and would allow for something new everytime.

Of course, the BIG disadvantage to this is that good squads get split up.

What does everyone think?

The classic problem with PUB gaming.

Its not that big a deal when you dont care who you are playing with, but PR is a community and people like to play together and to break that up is NOT a good idea. Also it would only further cause problems with people trying to get back on the team their friends are on.

Hummmm, i wonder who was thous good squads :P

and also ye i did notice this, when my squad was on USMC defending all your guys on MEC where saying that it was impossibal for them to take the flags. Then when we swaped teams my squad was falking all your points and pushed you back accross the river :lol:

I do know it sucked for you guys, but like scarface said, i was playing with afew guys who where in my clan Ventrilo server. And we where all talking ect. I wuld not want to get splied up with them. We spend alot of time getting arroudn the AB to get into the same squads :p

I think its just the fact of the matter is, 1 team has to win, and 1 team has to loose :(

Also nice playing with you on stell thunder today :wink:

It's just uneven teams, as said before, it's a natural fact of pub gaming. We could implement something, but it could piss as many people off as people we make happy.
