Keeping the teams even on DOD

Sully · Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 8:59 am Post subject: Keeping the teams even on DOD

Hey guys,

I just wanted to mention to you DOD fans that I've run into several DOD games that had uneven teams.

Anyone reading this post is a Ville Reg, and therefore knows the high priority that Rob and the admins put on teamplay and fair games. We've had a nice influx of new players on our DOD servers and it would be a shame to give them the impression that we can't maintain a fair game on our DOD servers. This being the case, I'm asking you all to really focus on keeping the teams even and maintaining a fair balance so that all of our guests, as well as regs, can enjoy balanced gameplay.

Although this mainly applies to teams that have a greater than 1 person advantage, i.e. 10 to 7 or 11 to 5, I would also point out to you that your responsibility extends to 9 to 8 games (for example) where the 9 player team has a distinct advantage due to the talent of the team members. If you have only a 1 player advantage, but your teams is running roughshod over the other team as if you had a multi-player advantage, it is time to have someone go to the other team to try and achieve gameplay balance.

Since these servers are filled with the greatest group of Regs ever assembled, I know that we can do a better job of achieving team balance.

I thank you.

I try my best to keep teams even. I often switch teams to keep a balance no matter if it is a 2 person difference or a gameplay difference. Team balance is very important to me as well because it is no fun to pick on people who only have a handful of players when you have double their team.

Is it just me? It seems like 99% of the time when there is a big player advantage it's always for the Allies. Why doesn't anyone like playing the Axis? We all know their weapons are cooler.

i always choose axis at the beginning of a round, but will grudgingly relinquish my high-quality german engineered piece of hardware that is my scoped k98 and use hte POS commie sniper rifle if the teams get uneven... ;>

I'm auto-assign everytime. I once had to switch about 4 times and people were starting to complain. I told 'em I was just keeping the teams even. They shut up pretty quick after that. All for fair play.

People playing Allies on avalanch start dropping like flies if Axis is interested in capping flags or throwing grenades. Not to mention the fact that you can spawncamp Allied spawn and not Axis. That has got to be the shittiest DoD map ever. Very lopsided. Can we please have more than two maps on the rotation?

if you guys havent already, you can set the server to mp_teamlimit 1, that will stop someone who is joining the server from joining the team with more players, it wont help if people quit but at least it will help with the people joining the server, the number you choose is how many extra players one side can have, 0 means no limit, 1 means either side can have one extra player, 2 is two extra players and so on. Just food for thought.

the allies do have the advantage at caen2 though. they can easily get to the buidling by the second to last capture point on the axis side and camp, since the maps arent the same for both ends,unlike most tfc maps, one side will always have an advantage
