Sorry if this has been suggested before, but I'm relly tired of uneven games all of a sudden.

I would really like to see a way where in CTF or any team mode that the teams remain even for the whol game. I believe it would be fairly easy that the team with the lowest number of playes dictates how many players can be on the map at once, peopel spawn in the order they died.

For example, in CTF if there were 3 v 6, then only 3 people per side could play, as one person on the 6 team died the next person in line would spawn until the teams get even again.

This would avoid problems where 2-4 people leave a team at once and all of a sudden there are 3 points on the board cause one team had more players for a short period.

Server Setable, Balance Teams can be checked, beside it 'Always Even Teams'.

I fully support this idea.

I joined a server last night where it was 6v2, realistic survival CTF. The other guy on my team was named Soldier, and I couldn't stand to stay any longer when he asked me: "how u go invisible?"

This is a really good idea.
A game in a good map is often ruined by unfair teams.

i dont know if i support this or not...it seems like a good idea but it would be unfair becuz some people would not get to play becuz the person who died would have to 'sit out' and would not be able to play

I quadruple this,this would be a great idea to help make soldat even funner and more enjoyable in public servers.

ive encountered this idiot too much and he is a jerkoff and talks too much crap and sucks.

on topic:
this would prove good but then might people start to leave the game(peeps who havent spawned yet) if no one joined the game?

I love this idea, though it would make ctf zombie matches very boring, so perhaps it should be an option...
Also it can be very fun fighting a team 2 to 6 and winning :P

Good idea, in INF, me and the other Alpha's get whipped because they have 3-4 more players.

The "Even Teams" option only works for when players first join the game. Why not simply implement an auto-balance feature.(server option, enabled by default) Meaning the server checks how many players are on each team each round and if they are unbalanced it would forcefully move players to the other team to balance it. This is in a lot of new FPS. ( actually you might be able to do this with the new script-driven server tools if you could see howmany players were on each team, and using console commands )

Perhaps, once two players enter (in a ctf match, for example), when another player enters, he could be kept in a stock-rotation, like said above. Though, it could be an issue if it's 2 vs.1 and a camper would just sit in a bush for something like four minutes.

Same here. I've never actually had such unbalanced matches before, but I sure wouldn't want to have one any time soon (unless I feel like I wanna be Rambo & take on 3 soldaten at once :P).

Hahahahaha that's funny. And i guess no one of the other team wanted to switch..

On topic: Great idea. [improvement] It's 6v3, only 3 players per team and players who dies in the bigger team are automaticly switched to smaller team until it's even or with 1 player difference btw teams?? [/improvement]

Wait, are you trying to abolish uneven teams altogether? No thanks.

It's way to fun on challenging INF maps, when Blue has SUCH a fortified base the Red to Blue ratio needs to be at least 2:1. Plus, it's always fun to have an uneven game every once in a while.

no, we are talking about having a server side option that abolishes uneven games

yes, abolishing them alltogether would be stupid on zombie servers...

how about if the teams are uneven the spawn time on the larger team becomes greater?

I think the players should decide whether or not the teams even out, because you can have 2 good players against 6 noobs and have some fun.

Like I said originally, it's a server side option, which makes you still able to play the way it is. The two options would be 'Balance teams' and 'Always Even Teams' which stops peopel from joining the team with more players and also stops people from having a one sided game just because your three buds left and now it's 3 v 6.

Also, this would have an additional effect of people who are waiting will switch becuase they don't want to wait longer.

I've been playing a lot lately and I always seem to leave after the teams fall apart and then just get mad cause the game sucked so much.
