Team Switching

StoneMonk

<div class="IPBDescription">??</div> This is not an attack on the devs or a suggestion that should have to wait 2 weeks or whatever (kinda sad we have to preface these things now)

Was there some reason team switching became so easy? It seems to defeat the strategy part of the game if you have players jumping from marine to alien all game.

Example: I was on a server yesterday where we had a real decent comm (some cri. person, cant remember who) and all of a sudden, he gets ejected and some person that had just joined jumped in (dunno how he got the eject vote, glitch maybe?) and just sits there dropping 1 or 2 turrets in base. So we finally get him ejected also, but our original comm cant get back in.

Meanwhile, the guy that had just ruined our side is now playing for the aliens. Is this going to be the new strategy for people who dont like losing/dont like current comm/want to comm?

I know this was posted as a semi-joke thread last week, but I'm seeing it more and more and was wondering if a dev/PT/Vet could explain how it got back in there? Was ity JUST for balancing teams where 1/2 of 1 team leaves?

Thx for the time/space.

ya, in 1.04 someone had to reconnect to switch teams (which usually resulted in a 24 hour ban) but now they can switch without reconnecting it seems, and with the 2 player difference between the marines and aliens that is usually there the games are becoming very one sided.
