[QUOTE=Cep;371785]1. Sniper Noobs
I am just getting fed up of sniper noobs, they don’t understand the concept of the game, they hide behind walls and on balconies miles away from where they are supposed to be and they just frikkin annoy me. Especially since they pick classes like medic or engineer to sniper with!! Idiots.

Yeah, I see this quite a bit. It’s annoying being on the front lines sacrificing yourself over and over to complete or defend an object, only to respawn and see the same guy camping and sniping in the same spot the entire map. But what can we do?
[QUOTE=Cep;371785]2. Imbalance in Teams
This is beginning to grate as well, I am either joining a server on the side of a bunch of sniper noobs with maybe one or two other decent players trying to work together but just getting totally let down by idiots and therefore getting slammed. Or I am on the opposite team and the game is just boring because we just keep hammering the opposition. I must have quit about 6 different servers before finally finding a group of decent players on both teams today.

I feel the same way, it’s extremely boring when the opposition presents no challenge at all, or my team is spawn camping the opposing team for an entire eight minute match. When the tables are turned it becomes even more unpleasant. I understand the teams aren’t going to always be balanced, but this game has a very high rate of one sided poundings compared to a lot of games I have played. I think it’s a mix of map design and player skill, as some of the maps can be very hard on a mediocre team.

3. Imbalance in numbers
Again, this is irritating. In ETQW you could only realistically get 1 more player extra over one side at a time and this made sure to a certain degree that you wouldn’t be slammed.
In Brink you can be 8v1 and in fact I have been on a number of occasions! Why the hell any dev thought this would be an improvement in game play is beyond me.

Again, I agree and I’m shocked that it has gone unfixed for so long. Such a simple fix can make a lot more games more enjoyable and competitive. But then again, you will have people complaining about how they want to stack teams with their friends, so the public games should suffer at the cost of their enjoyment. This is the first game I have ever played where the teams are allowed to be so unfair.
