I would like to make a suggestion

This is just a suggestion, so take it as that....

At time on the server, we are really full...everything seems to be goin great. Then map changes, and.... one team is rolling the other team hard.
Say its not a lack of teamplay or alone wolves; its just one team is just playing hard and know how better to work together. Then as you know what happens, players start dropping off the server (except for the few of us that are hardcore gamer and are willing to take the ass beating).

Well my Idea is simple, when the loses team starts to lose player, just swap a player from the winning team.

I know what you are goin to say, team balance will take care of that right? Wrong, if the team is just missing one player; it doesn't swap someone one. So, if the winning team has a one man/woman advantage...well I can't say advantage, more like a extra teammate. Do you see a reason not to swap them to the losing side?

And if you look at it like this, one someone new finally does join into the game....Its human nature to want to be on the winning side. It all works out for the good.

This is just my opinion/suggestion on keeping players from dropping so fast, but then again, will the player you swap like being swapped? If its a reg, then they shouldn't mind helping a team out.

Check out my imbalanced team post. Somewhat similar.

I'll take the losing side anyday anywhere. It's the only way to really improve your skeelz in any game. But, I do see where your coming from.

Yes i think this has been throughly disccused

**Hocus Pocus** · 12-12-07, 02:28 PM

Yeah I agree, but for the most part that's already being done. Ma_chat it up admins will get busy ( if its necessary)

**daklown** · 12-12-07, 03:02 PM

Totally agree. There should be some fair mechanism for evening things out.

**Silent_Crow** · 12-12-07, 04:16 PM

Definately use "ma_chat" in console. OR even easier - use "@ hey admin can you switch up teams?" in all chat. The @ symbol sends the message right to the admins.

Let me know I'll switch anytime.

Hi:

I request urgent help...

Could anyone know how to increase the depth of field for a L4d2 map. This is cause I'm making a map where there is a tall building in front of where I am, but it seems that the source engine automatically limit the depth of field cause I can see nothing to far away. And I can't put this one in a skybox cause I need it to be part of the crossable scenary.

I'm posting some pictures so you know what am I talking about

THANKS
