Summary

0001292: Team balance restrictions for joining teams

Description

3 Players on Blue
2 Players on Red

With sv_noteamselect 0, I can join Blue to make it an unbalanced 4 on 2.
With sv_noteamselect 1, I cannot choose my team even when the teams are even.

With sv_noteamswitch 0, one of the players on red can switch to blue to make it extremely unbalanced.
With sv_noteamswitch 1, during 4 on 2, a kind blue memeber cannot merely just switch to red. (must spectate and then re-join game)

What currently does not natively exist:
Being able to join or switch to a team of my choice if it maintains or works towards balance.

Pretty sure most modern team games have this feature.
I suggest sv_TeamJoinBalance, but I don't really know.

Joining team control is something that can only be done at this development level.
ACS-based team balance really shouldn't have to come into play a tic right after someone joins.

Notes
(0006095) AlexMax (developer) 2013-03-05 23:46	Agreed. However, I think the current cvar should be taken out and the new functionality should exist as sv_autobalance false/true. With the 'better' autojoin, I don't see why the old one should be kept around.

(0006098) JaxOf7 (reporter) 2013-03-07 08:13	I don't quite want to rule out the usability of disabling team selection or team switching. I can kind of see how a host might not want players to constantly choose or switch to the team with the better player(s).

(0009220) Watermelon (developer) 2014-06-13 17:48	Technically resolved, but still has reference to sv_maxplayersperteam
