Server Balance


(LyndonL) #1

Will there be a toggle-able (server side) server player balance (swapping teams round to even numbers periodically)?

If so, I remember that people in fireteams stick together when changing server. If you have server balancing, do people in the same fireteam stick together when switching around the teams too?

I hate it when playing BC2 and I get booted from my friends team unless it’s really necessary.

unless turned off, teams are always 8 so numbers balancing is moot, playing campaign teams stick together iirc

Yeah no need to balance if its not 8v8 then the remainder will be filled by Bots so it WILL be 8v8 ALL the time

Bots != Humans.

Whats wrong with bots?
I mean they are super AI and only come when there are not enough human players and leave when one joins.
Seeing as it’s 8 on 8, it’ better to have a bot on your team rather than play uneven.
Also, they could be the classes your friends don’t want to be. Like Engineer.

ok, for example what if ill be playing restistance, and in resistance will be no human player, only bots (and me :slight_smile:
security will be filled with human players.

-will bots do objective?
-will they team play?

bot is always experienced. will it be fair bots vs new brink players they dont know map yet?

Yes I agree with all this, but I still would rather have 4humans and 4 bots per side than 7 humans on one side and only 1 on the other.

You Savvy me hearty?

server admins normally have the power to swap players at will

I would also like the ability to force 5 vs 11 or atleast 5 vs 8 without bots filling empty spaces on one of the teams

teams are limited to 8, on PC servers you’ll be able to turn bots off or limit number
