A Call For Autoteam!

<div class="IPBDescription">In the meantime, I'm not playing!</div> I for one am not playing on ANY server unless the dev's put in auto team! If nothing else kick them to the ready room!

Everywhere I go one team or another has less players than the other and in a game were the weapons are so balanced as the marines vs. aliens when the teams go 10 - 8 the side with 8 WILL start to loose very fast unless the team with 10 really sucks badly!

Forget all arguments about well what if one team has better players or I don’t want to go "insert team here"

Every game out there has auto team except for Natural Selection. Personally I think leaving it out is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard except for what I was hearing tonight.

"Alien - Hey marines even the teams! Its 12 - 8!"
"Marine - STFU noob. You’re just mad because we are owning you!"
"Alien - ummm yea because the teams are unfair"
"Marine 2 - if you didn’t want even teams you should not have had teammates that quit"

You will see things like this every server you go to.


I truly believe that allot of complains about the game being unbalanced would go away and that the mod would be #2 instead of #4 if the teams stayed even throughout a match.

Me: I'm not playing until I see an admin mod auto team or a build in auto team.

Crazy's law says that for every player that has balls and joins the team that has less players there are 50 smacktards who will join the team that has more so they can be sure that they are on the winning team.

    Thanks for the rude post. Let me drop everything and work like a dog until you're happy again.

    See? This is what happens when you keep on pushing.

    Flayra: Go on a year long vacation to Florida, please. You deserve it more than anyone I know.

    Sorry if it seems too rude but I can't believe that you actually believed for a second that players could be counted on to even the teams. History has proven that does not happen.

    And I think that you need not brush this off as a "rude" post. (harsh maby but I don’ think rude cuts it)
    I know a host of people that are complaining about auto team and are no longer playing. The most common comment I have been hearing when I tell anyone about it is the balance issues and auto team. I believe they are one and the same.

    You have a good mod here. I fear that it will end up un-played if there are not some serious balancing issues fixed. (And I'm not talking about weapons!)

    I hope for your sake that I'm wrong and everyone keeps playing and gets there friends to play it but right now all I hear is complaints about teams and weapons (I personally like the way weapons are)

    Gee, thanks flayra! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Seriously, in a 16 player server the only time a 2 person advantage IS an advantage is during the very very first part of the game, when a rush occurs. If the aliens have more players, they will usually pwn the marines, if the marines have more players AND the marines stick around instead of running off most of the skulks die without touching a marine. There are exceptions with small marine starts, like caged, bast, and to an extent hera.

    Otherwise, it'll just be 9/7, and that isn't much difference if either team has even a slight skill advantage.

    The thing I'd like to see is a timelimit on waiting inside one of the 'join team' boxes. Usually upon a new game there is a large crowd of people standing in one of the boxes (Usually marines, and I confess I have done this), and everyone seems hesitant to join the other team. So, a 15, maybe 30 second timelimit on standing in a box.

    Wow, Maybe if you guys would read news posts, release logs, and the such you'd know that everything you mentioned is being worked on. Man, this is driving me crazy how many posts Im seeing about stuff like this and <i>I don't even have to do work for any of it</i>.

    Crazy Dog, you just need to find good servers to play on. If nobody will even the teams, leave that server and find a new one. There's always alot of servers with even teams.

    You guys should make the effort not to respond to threads like this. I doubt he'll find any satisfaction in any answer that doesn't agree with his own.

    Yes, that was a bit of ironic humor.

    You don't see anything wrong with his post because you're a rude, selfish and inconsiderate member of the mtv generation yourself. Don't generalize, smart*bleep*.
