Are you trying to say there is no problem look at this even the damn pings are uneven. What gets me is that a number of those on the right actually switched teams to be on a team who already had a massive advantage. Not wanting to change to a bad team is one thing but abandoning one so you can feel like you are the shit, and lord it over your erstwhile teamates, theat's jsut f***ing weak!

....and queue denials...

I cant understand why people like to be in a so good team. It's just boring to play when the teams are not even. If you are in the bad team, you get killed without having time to go out of the forward bunker . If you are in the good team, nothing moves, you just stay there and shoot on noobs trying to go farther than the trenches.

Well, I say the worst thing in ECG is getting stuck on a noob filled team on allies, trying to singlehandedly beat 15 basement defenders by yourself, with your teammates tk'ing, blocking and generally not doing anything useful.

Those that talk about "honor" of switching teams...I don't buy it for many cases. In fact, switching to the weaker team is actually beneficial for certain play styles, such as those who spend 25 minutes on the beach sniping, or those who like to hang out at upper base and kill the axis who venture out. When on the weaker team, the game is actually better when you do this...more kills, more action. Personally, during the daytime, if other servers are full and I'm not pinging too bad, I'll join the weaker allied team on ecgn--not because I'm looking for a challenge, or because of honor, but because I can get more kills. Heck, if teams get really bad, I'll even snipe from the hill.

Of course, this only applies to certain people. I just find it amusing that SOME of those who are most vocal about their own team switching ways, don't experience the same level of frustration of being on a noob team.

The ones who I give props to are those of you who switch teams and actually face the frustration of attempting to play doc runner/basement clearer. People like X-treme..but then again, i have the feeling that guy is some sort of sadomochist who enjoys it.

Flame away

Man, how can you talk about the weaker team, every team you are on will be better than the other, lol.
I'm always on the weaker team because I choose to join it at the moment I'm on the server. It's true that it gives more kills and everything you said is also true, but even teams is the best thing. I played with even teams last week, god I loved it. I hate being on the best team because everyone you are shooting at is getting shot by like 3 or 4 other people.

Hehe, check out these screenshots. Talk about a weaker team. To be fair, I did not switch from the stronger team, to the weaker team. I either just joined the server, or half my team left after the end of last round.

and another. I tend to just stick with one team and let the flow of the traffic dictate how games go. Usually, the only time I feel compelled to switch teams is when either my buddy is on the other team, or when the number of players get messed up.

One team cannot dominate for an entire day. Both teams constantly lose and gain players...I say its part of the fun to see how powerful you can get one team before it all collapses, which it inevitably will. Its like the 49'ers of the 80's and 90's (sorry, I'm from west coast)...its fun to dominate for a period of time. And looks at the Niners now! can't even eek out a .500 record...bastards...err? sidetracked, oh well

Here's a pic of unfair teams. Look at the team score.

Balanced teams are not a right, they are a privilege to those that fight on the server long enough to experience them. You people that whine about all this intervention necessary to make your time on a FREE service provided to YOU, need to STFU and live life a little less sheltered (or go read a book, or persue some other isolated hobby that doesn't require human interaction). oh, and have a nice day!

PL_Master, I actually don't think those teams in your latest screenshot were "unfair" at all ( but I know you probably have seen worse). Score means very little =/ Either team could have won. In my opinion, teams are 'unfair' when the numbers get seriously messed up (not just 2-3 players difference), or one team has all the good players, and the other team is 99% new players.

Also, in your screenshot, Trever is playing medic, so it must be photoshopped! h4x0rzes?

P.S. I also found all the screenshot in this thread, to be fair teams, in my opinion. One team may be stronger, but the other team wasn't all Wolfplayers either. The original screenies in Arjay's post, the screenies in Savage Parrot's post....didn't look too stacked to me. (Of course, it excludes the two screenshots I posted, maybe because I am biased

)

There are good players on both sides, the teams don't look all that unbalanced to me. Yes, the axis scores are higher, but score doesn't tell the whole story. I'd bet that game was a very good one, I'm sorry I missed it, playing on *either* side. :ar15:

If I tell you that we couldnt move out of the forward bunker and we were very often returned to the beach, will you consider that unfair teams.

Now I'm used to it, and I dont care that much because I always get like 60 kills and a lots of revives when I'm in a weak team. It's just that even teams are A LOT more fun.
