Hi All,

New to B3 like others, is there a randomize plugin for BFBC2? For example if one team is getting owned to keep the game fun for all, it would randomly swap players  (automatically or by admin request) to even the game out.

If this feature is already available please let me know...thanks in advance.

Welcome,

I'm not aware a such a plugin.
Picking randomly players might be deceptive also. Could you think of any clever rule in the picking choice ?

Thanks, the idea would be to randomize players (keeping squads) by average score and placing them on respective teams. An even amount of talent while keeping squads on each team usually makes for a great game.

I can not take credit for the idea, we have used it with another admin tool. We have found with a wide variety of talent on our server this keeps things fun. We are moving towards B3 because of its excellent feature set and stability. Having this as an option would be awesome.

Thank you for your time in replying to my post.

so this plugin would be swapping squads. It also mean we should compute squad skills to decide on which to swap.

SquadBalancer plugin anyone ?

I don't think there is a need for a squadbalancer. Some people use squads, some people choose not to. Once a teambalance is done, they can just choose a squad at their discretion.

True but it is really for those who do not want to play fairly. It is to help if one team is dominating and continues to do so. We have skill levels who play from 0 on up and sometimes if all the talent (not me) is on one team it makes for a very dull game. But spread the talent around and the game gets real close.

In the same respect though, a lot of players are playing with friends and may be using teamspeak or vent, all in the same squad..if you force a squad balance, you may actually kill a server population.

That's assuming the friends want to play together. I rather enjoying playing AGAINST my friends.
