Everyday, every round, at any possible time, a person will teamswitch on PR (and plenty of other games to).

Asking both TG members and just regular TG server players. Which teamswitching do you think is frowned upon, note which. I'll give you my examples of teamswitching.


Teamswitching to the winning side:

The player teamswitches to the winning team, whether they won last round, have been on a winning streak for a number of rounds, or a currently winning.
I see this as a frowned upon teamswitching.

Teamswitching to the side with less players:

I've recalled where some players have switched to the side with less players (I have seen Namebot do that before). I see this as an act of the player to make the teams even oncemore. Not frowned upon.

Teamswitching for assets/better faction:

A player who teamswitches because the the side they wish to switch to has helicopters for example (assets part). Also players who teamswitch because they want to be on the better faction (Example: Players who switch from insurgents to the US). I see switching for assets as a frowned upon idea, although most people hate the insurgents, especially on maps like Al Basrah, so I'm not sure about switching to a better faction.

One thing I CAN say about switching to better factions is that, whether you like it or not (similar to something Portable cougar told me once) you'll have to be an insurgent one time (or militia).

I conclude with, If you feel like teamswitching to the winning team, the team with assets or the better faction, don't. I don't want to be known as a teamswitcher, and, although it isn't in any rules or code of conduct, when I wear the TG tags I don't want to Teamswitch. I just disconnect and wait for the round to be over.

Mind you I'm resisting to push the button to switch to the opposite team. It's not easy for me, I'm getting there!


Sooooooooo! What do you think of the teamswitcher?
