2-round team-switch game form

HeatSurge

I think the game would benefit from having a pre-set "official" or through a mod format of two rounds per map; i.e. ready room when map starts, and when one team wins the teams switch sides automatically and after some time-out the second round begins.

The current format works well enough, but I think a "mirrored" format would be really nice to have a complete "match" in a way.

Other comparable games are set up like this, i.e. Left 4 Dead 1/2 and it makes sense to me.

And have the stacked team brutally slaughter the other twice?

I don't see an issue with the current system, and if you're playing a very even round it could take more than 45 minutes just to finish the one game, not everyone's got the stamina to play another 45+ minute game on top of that :p

Team stacking occurs even now; the idea is to force people who stack marines round after round to play aliens, but I guess then they will probably just switch teams or leave the server anyway... meh.

Nice idea for a mod or a core server <i>non default option</i> I think ..

I like the way it is at the moment.. and there's a mod for forcing people to join random after X seconds
I personally don't mind what side I play, I'm equally crap at both
