Slave274 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Some servers are set up by the creator so that you are automatically joined to a team. I think this is so the teams stay somewhat even and aren't one-sided. Before you select a server, look at the options at the bottom of the server screen to see whether you can choose sides or if auto-join is enabled for that server.

Slave274 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hmm, well taht doesn't make sense. I thought auto kept things even. I'm confused now too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiktacos Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Servers can be setup to have teams to be : 1) Automatic, you can't switch 2) Selectable I believe that if you use the in-game browser, and you select a server you can see which of the two modes it is set to. Edit: I guess others replied in the meantime. Anyways. Auto supposedly does two things: and keep it balanced and make it such that you can't switch. The thing is, when people leave they get replaced by NPCs, but that doesn't always seem to work well, which is why you see the unbalanced teams.

ihiktacos Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Well, don't take my words for a fact, but that is what I noticed happening. One real annoying thing about this, is that when people leave and get NPCs on their team they might be balanced in numbers, but in fact aren't. Because the NPCs are generally pretty bad it really sucks if you have only 2 real players on your own team versus 10 real players on the other team.

klouie316 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Does anyone know if the is a server filter? like it doesn't show servers that are full and empty. or that it doesn't show servers with passwords. Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
