just fancied a game of infantry only then, how wrong was I.
Connected on a team of mostly ranks such as myself (1st sgt) and gunnerys, ok that doesnt usually bother me because the main difference between ranks (unless a starting out rank) is hours played (unless you pad stats).
What REALLY ANNOYS ME is half of my team i.e the 'shiney badges' that were unfortunate enough to be pitched against the team of mainly 'shiney badges'; instead of -having a go- were stayig dead in spectate, trying to swap to the other team.
How Annoying is that? it doesnt matter how up for it you are you are flogging a dead horse when half your team is being that lame.
That is how most teams end up being base-raped
(bar the stupid ones who just stay in uncap with m95)

yes but what they do is shadily swap at the right time then someone unfortunate enough to be the next one to die ends up on the other team.

I only swap teams when the majority of my fellow clan mates is in the other one or when the team I'm in is really really incapable of either capturing flags or defending the ones I had to capture...
Did you also notice, that in a losing team there's very often only one squad that really cares about organized flag capturing/defending?
So now it might have been for the "shiney-badges-guys" to swap teams because they couldn't find any squad willing to cooperate with them...

maybe! bit funny that its almost every server though
the only time I see shiney badges swap back is when the team of NCO's start winning.... or the shiney badges end up with a load of pvt.1st class ranks... remember the motto "Shiney badges Attract n00bs!"
As I said before, It wouldnt have bothered me if it was just a case of being on a team of NCO's Vs Shiney badges, what really annoys me is the 7 or 8 shiney badges STAYING DEAD trying to swap.
That many of them cant swap, just disconnect and find another server if you want to keep your precious K/D:R in tact, some of us dont care! we just want a fun game, not get confined to one or two flags because 1/2 the team isnt trying.

Reverse teamstack:

As you might realise: same server How much you wanna bet the generals, colonel, majors and other officers on the other team were like, "How the **** did we lose? Teams were stacked in our favour!"

Yeah it sucks, but what can I tell you? You were unlucky.

If you don't want that many players (and FF being off is stupid anyway) I can recommend a few good SF servers running no-vehicle mode that'll give you decent ping. Personally I prefer smaller player loads anyway.

I see high ranks with an M95 dancing around the runway on Wake tbh, they get the J10 all the time

and as soon as I joined, 1st thing I did was join a squad. But they were just camping on the roof at plaza, got invited to another squad and joined that instead, then after realising half the team was franticly clicking the MEC flag on menu I just left.

I don't mind team stacking because i do just as well with stacked teams as i do without...

Everyone is equally noobish except for a few of them, its just some of the noobs find it more fun to throw grenades and supply bags around instead of fight with guns

I don't usually care about teamstacking, as long as i can kill peeps, i don't care if i win or lose, or who is on the other team

Team stacking is annoying, as is everyone swapping to 'x' team at the beginning of the round for an easy round of spawnraping. I don't whine against either, but it is boring when you want a good round but instead you have a round where there's no competition ;].

Being on the winning team plays easier because you are getting pounded less, but being on the losing team doesnt mean you have to suck. In fact, the losing team is where people can really shine.
