<div class="IPBDescription">(Marine unbalance)</div> The autobalancing needs to be enforced during the game where people are forced to the team with less players.
I just finished playing a game where we had the Marines beat half an hour into the game. Then, everyone started moving over to the Marines side and two people quit. From that point on (the next 1 and a half hours) the game was 8 Marines and 4 Aliens.
No one would move over and the Marines were saying that it was fair because it is how else is doing it. How in the world is 8 on 4 fair? The game should not be some 3 hour long torture fest.

Let them sit there and do nothing.
Until they even, dont join.
Probably not fun to be transfered to a losing team, but I dont see any other way...
havn;t actualy played on a server with it yet though (due to not playing O/L but only on LAN ;D)
I do to even though I go Alien cause of team balancing problems. If Aliens were slightly more powerful then I think more people would join aliens, I think Cloaking should be better and that you should be able to walk but very very slowly while cloaked.... There should be a button you have to hold (Not a walk button) but a button you only hold when clocked which makes you walk incredibly slow but safely cloaked
Personally, while i think teams should be even, it would be annoying to play half an hour on one team or another, busting my **obscenity** to win only to be switched to the other side because some **obscenity** don't want to finish the round because they are losing.
Your team can only spawn as many players as the other team has +1.
So for example lets say the marines have 7 players and the aliens have 5, only 6 players will be allowed to spawn. The 7th will be stuck waiting until somebody dies, then he will spawn and the unlucky sucker who died wil have to wait until somebody else dies. (The +1 assures that this won't happen when teams are 5 on 6).
Then you will have a game of 5 on 6 (only 6 marines spawned at 1 time) and maybe *just* maybe somebody on the marines will get so fed up with waiting that they will join aliens WILLINGLY.
It could even display a message that says "the teams are unbalanced and you are only allowed to have 6 players on the feild. Until there are 5 players on the feild you will not spawn. In other words you are being suspended from the game until one of your team mates dies, at that point you will be returned to the game. To get into the game now you can join the aliens by pressing F4"
after all, that is a SWARM OF ALIENS! and that is a HIVE!
