i dunno if this has been mentioned before but something needs to be done about team stacking. when too many people join the same team at once they win by default so annoying! it wasn't like this in 1.04 cause it was alot harder to teamstack. then you'd have to join at exactly the same time. but in 2.0 you can join about 5 seconds after the first person joins a team and still get in the same team.

Personally, I think the community needs to start encouraging marine stacking (for the time being), primarily in terms of skill (all the good players), though numbers work as well. As it is, it is very difficult (next to impossible) to win against a well-coordinated alien team who have insanely low time to hive and time to fade due to rfk and skills. It's a fair solution, for the time being, if you ask me.
Seriously, I think the TSA is giving out punch and pie when you enlist. How can the aliens compete with punch and pie?
Really, though, team stacking isn't something that needs to be addressed in the game itself. It's a social problem. I imagine more people go marines because they can more readily adapt to marines from their prior FPS gaming experience. Or, maybe they want to comm.
I don't care either way. I'm so happy that there's always room on the Kharaa for me to join <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.
I wish there was just random teams, period.
I usually try to go one marine game, one alien game, etc. Just for variety.
The last person to join the stacked team. it was their conscious decision to join. unless teams are even and members of the unstacked team disconnected. even then, last person to join stacked team is likely far less involved than the first one to join it.
i thought team stacking was to fixed in 2.0 ?

It's not just 1.6
Want to stop stacking? Get the mod that is really popular on the redPhive/nSradio servers. It auto-teams you when you join, within about 5 seconds. Or, make the non-tournament mode only have the 'random' team option. Really, if you give people a choice they'll keep stacking.
