WTF is scramble every round?

    I know all of us hate team switching. But seriously, what the hell is scramble in every round? Dont you think that it's a little bit absurd? If you really like scrambling, you should change it to campaign beginnings -not every rounds- Today, I was playing on berserker server with only 3 people, and your precious scrambling system put all of us on the same team :) Is that a fairplay? 3 vs bots?

    I'm not saying that this system is crap, but would be better when you change it only first maps of campaigns. When players got scrambled every round, there's no "win" spirit, you know what I mean? Because when they start to play their new scrambled teams, they know that they might be scrambled at the following round again.. That's pointless I think. So please make scramble only for the first maps...

    not sure if this has been fixed yet but ive noticed when the servers not full...maybe like 5 - 15 players the scramble seems to group most of the players together on one team at the beginning of a chapter - it doesnt always do it but it can still be kinda annoying, tbh the whole thing can be a little annoying, is it ABSOLUTELY necessary? :?

    Actually, we have been working on the scramble feaure, and i thing i found a good method. We are still testing alot of stuff. The point of it was to just scramble teams, because, people get boring of losing all the campaigns in a row, you know.

    cool cool yea i get that and in theory it is a good idea but 90% of the time it doesnt work anyway because everyone just swaps to the team they were on before in the previous chapter, some people even get irritated especially when their switched more than once...even twice during a single campaign.

    Something needs to be done in a big way regarding team scramble and team-switch features alltogether. I can't even tell you how many times I ragequit today because everytime I jumped into a game my team was mostly bots. I figured if I stayed on the same team then eventually some good players would come and help turn the tide. They jumped in alright, then immediately to the other already unbalanced winning side. It is a total crock. And then to rub salt in the wound there was a couple of trial admins on the other already unbalanced winning side of which one (I don't know which one) was slapping players to near death on my side and sombody had aimbot or wallhack to boot. I spent the next few rounds pretty much running around as a ghost trying to find the offender(s) but to no avail. I did however use the new !warns system to tag a few people for rushing, 2 of which are (extremely) high in the ranks. I do like being on the same team as my best friend but would gladly leave it to chance if we can stop this madness of team-switching and 2 against 10 bovine scatology.

    By the way I noticed that SuperBunny is on a rampage today against rushing nailing 3 paople so far and I commend that :mrgreen: We need to be more vigilant than ever in dealing with rule breakers or it will get worse. At the same time we need not let our heads become swollen with admin power. Our power is not to harrass or get even with players (read admin responsibilities) we are there to provide a fun enviorment for all players and powers vested are to maintain order and discipline and to administer discipline in a progressive and incremental method.
