Who would switch to be on the winning team? With no permanent stats, I cannot believe anyone would do that. But I imagine people get their kicks different ways.


I can understand switching because one team is obliterating the other. Spawn-snipe-spawn-snipe is certainly no fun. Here are a couple ideas i have on the matter
1) An admin could end the map early if the sides are unbalanced. I personally don;t like this idea too much. There is enough complanting about this map or that map at the start of the round as it is. Having the admins do this on a regular basis would only make the complants snowball.

2) In my experience, the maps with two UCBs and few or no vehicles are the ones that have the worst unbalance issues. That pains me to say, because they are also the best maps when the teams are even.

3) The teamswitching in this thread (to get favorite weapons, or to win the round) are examples of poor sportsmanship. Maybe the offenders just need a little reminder of this?
If you happen to be on the team doing the slaughtering, how about letting someone else fly the chopper, or use the tank, or the uber sniper kit. Use it as an opportunity to try out a kit you don't use regularly. Instead of attacking the flag the same tired way, try a new approach direction, or a different weapon. Or spam med kits everywhere. Teabeg a friend -- try it while they are still alive.

If we all work together, we can move mountains. No challenge is too great or too difficult. It takes a village to raise a child. And only YOU can prevent forest fires. So whaddya say, are you willing to give sportsmanship a chance?
