Basically it switches players to the opposite team so that both sides have a more or less even number of players on it.... Sometimes, you get shafted by that and end up on a losing team when you were doing well.

In this case, Spike and this velo were on the same team until it Auto-Balanced, now the velo's being chased all over by a superior player. :P

Yep.

Yep.

Happens EVERY time in Team Fortress, and has even happened to me two-three times in Dino D-Day, even though I rarely play it. I wish more games had party systems with friends that wouldn't swap your teams around. xD

There was a 'skit' I had in mind of my fan-OC Claw getting shafted by the Auto-Balance.... She's got this soldier pounced, chuckling evilly and is just about to start bitting and clawing and tearing his face off......

When suddenly two more people join in the match and the game makes her go *poof* before she can pull the attack off. She then is poofed onto the other side of the map, with the Allied helmet on her head while she's just like "Derp what's going on".

And then the T-rex came ovo;

Sequence ends while Claw's just like "Well ***** me...."

Wow, I haven't played this game in forever!

I played it last night :3

Fairly balanced game, quite fun, but you die soooo fast xD Even as a dinosaur!

Dinos need more life, and humans need no guns. Tho the people qho use game controllers for a pc game. Kind of a bit cheap in a sense as opposed tobus using a mouse and such.
The switching of teams is good and bad. But it does shaft you quite a bit.
Whats worse could be swapping to other team with a dino on you eating your face off

A lot of console players would say it's cheap using a mouse and keyboard hehe. Apparently as far as FPS's go, using a mouse provides better precision when aiming than a controller does.

Yah, it has its uses but it can do harm too hehe. Numbers aren't always everything - I've seen single players win matches on their own against odds, like this one 5v8 game and ONE person on the five team had 30+ kills and only one death, everyone else on it had less than 5 kills and 7 ~ 24+ deaths. Had the most kills of either team. Number of team members doesn't always mean that it's balanced *nods*


Mrehehe, or in Claw's case - being swallowed alive by the former ally T-rex x'D
She has such bad luck with that happening. Seems every time she gets team-swapped the tyrannosaurus is lurking nearby ready to devour her.

Jerk teams.and I am pretty terrible at shooters with a mouse. Couldnt fathom online games with it.
May help for sniping, but many controllers have a 'precision' button that makes it much better for sniping n such.

Claw shoukd hang with me. T rex's are friend!

Yeeeep. XD Sounds about right.

-Doing really well in Primal Carange.-
PC= Wow, nice score....
PC=... would be a shame if.. something were TO HAPPEN TO IT.
-Auto balance last 20 seconds of the match and you lose.-

Does PC keep a permanent record of your wins/losses? If so that'd be even worse x'D

Ah, auto-balance. The bane of every TF2 player's existence.

haha, so true

From what I know, in tf2 whenever the screen says "Teams will be auto balanced in 5 seconds", if one should die, they'll be auto-balanced to the other team. So to avoid being moved just try not to die.

Hilarious picture btw!

Thankfully, there are games that will grant you the victory if they make you change your team due the auto balance. Making the passage from the winning team to the losing team a lot less frustrating.

i wonder why the other games don't do that as well.

Not sure if Dino D-Day is one of 'em, but since it doesn't keep track of your 'stats' anyway I guess it doesn't really matter ^^

haha XD

Such a nice rump on the little one

indeed auto balance is make some player got screwed which is based on the Team fortress (example like a player on the blue team which almost won and he got killed then suddenly he got balanced cause he moved to opposite team(which basically a red team then he lost) :P
