    I don't want to point fingers, but the next persons post with "loosing" in it will be quoted and abused till I pass out from exhaustion.

    I would like to see them test a blind team system, I would imagine friends of course would still stick together, but people not knowing who is on who's side til the round start would seem to be a somewhat decent alternative for people who want it.

    Well the whole stop playing bad servers.. only works if you have a large selection of servers within your ping range.

    I sort by <150 and see about 4 on average, and only 1 is 15/2 and usually full..

    but yeah I see what you mean with this..

    I really wouldnt mind, 10% faster juice gain, for team with less players.. that turns off and on as teams even, uneven..

    Except the only time I've seen you play you always picked a team with two other dudes. Even if it wasn't coordinated stacking, if you notice a some douches constantly joining your team to win you should just not pick a team.

    i was on a server yesterday that kept getting stacked. Rounds were ending in 2-5 mins multiple times.

    I then educated people on how choosing a team doesn't randomize if everyone chooses the same team.

    Ironically i got the bad team, 2mins in our moneyball dropped and we were down to 25% at the 5min mark.

    Then magically we fought back and one in overtime. I got a verbal lashing thats for sure since i was complaining about stacking.

    But then the next round it was more fast rounds. Kind of weird.

    Its started to get to the point for me where almost 7/10 games I play are complete blowouts for one side, 2/10 are decided by overtime juice rushes, and the last 1/10 is a fairly competitive game. I think the major issue is that people do tend to join the teams that they think have the best players, leaving the skill distribution pretty lopsided. The other issue is the fact that most people don't build base defenses or seem to care about the ball at all. I'm getting to the point where I really don't want to play Crossfire anymore because its so frustrating to not have any close games.

    Well it comes down to thee problems that I see

    1) people cant get away from the death match mentality, and often when games get lopsided, its because the people that understand it, want to play with other people who understand it.. leaving one team attacking bots/turrets/moneyball and the other flailing around trying to get a high KD/Ratio but ultimately failing at that as well

    2) Not a TON of server selection, there are plenty of servers, but most are empty... due to people wanting to play the best pings.. and by nature of the game, its quite lengthy for a FPS.. so those servers stay full.. Spec slots would help a lot.. as you would have something to do while you wait for a spot to open up.

    3) It shows what team you select.. just HIDE IT.. if I click red, don't show it.. this will let people on Skype/Vent/clans/steamfriends choose teams, but other people wont know what team they chose, so you'll have less of the 3 guys go red and the other 3 50+'s follow..
