Grizz, I am not talking about Hellsfury here. I have no problem with his being on the blue team at the start of maps. I don't care what guys do at the start, so long as the game can be even at the start. On La Drang, at the start, I will switch to blue because for the past 10 years, I have always started red for some reason and I'm sick and tired of that, not to mention that map. It needs jeeps.
I am talking about several issues:
1. Cambodian Incursion. Link to map: (
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Cambodian_Incursion). 95% of the time I will switch to red because I enjoy moving and placing the tunnels. I think we all know that more players would rather be blue than red so they can toe shoot with XMs. There are two spawn tunnels on this map. I have watched both Player and Nagi switch teams to find the tunnel, pick it up, suicide and switch back to blue. I recently saw Nagi switch briefly to find the tunnel on his map then switch back to blue to go kill it (thus trying to avoid being caught blowing it as a teammate).
2. Operation Hastings. Link to map: (
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Operation_Hastings). 99% of the time I stay with the team I start the game with because I enjoy playing both sides. When I spawn red, once again, I typically try to take the spawn and the mig to move the spawn to a location of my choice. I have seen Nagi switch teams to find and blow the tunnel.
3. Player switches randomly throughout the game. Again and again and again. I suspect, yes, suspect they do so to locate players who are killing them from unknown locations, such as snipers. They find them on the map then switch back to go kill them. Can I prove this, probably not without going into spectate and we all know it doesn't happen with such frequency that admins don't want to fool with watching and what good would it do me to post video of it when they would get what? A one day ban? Not worth the trouble.
4. Fall of Lang Vei. Link to map: (
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Fall_of_Lang_Vei). I take what I get on this map and rarely switch. Even if on blue and taking a beating. Some players, Nagi we know, will switch when things are not going their way. And again, if the tunnel is in play, Nagi gains an advantage by switching.
She/He is not a team player. I realize that many of those who play are not team players and there's nothing going to be changed about that. But it is unfair for players to play a map on a team to advance their team to a win to be switched to the other side because Nagi doesn't like getting a beating. If blue loses their main on Hastings, after Nagi has raped the piss out of players using a gunship, he just switches teams so he can then get an MI8 to rape with.
SK you are right, when the server was full of players, nobody complains about the switchers. When the server is full, however, we usually have very competitive games. When games are competitive and their are many players, my taking blue main on a Hastings is a miracle. When there are say 14 players on, taking main is easier and thus leads to Nagi switching to red driving the teams out of balance.
I say give the admins the discretion to determine, as best they can, when players are engaging in such behavior to boot them. I don't care if doing so drives the game out of balance. I would rather be switched because action is taken against these non-players than to be forced into a switch because Nagi or Player on a whim want to switch or to do so in order to cheat.
