Like say you/I forgot to join a squad and we were on the winning team. Right when the tickets become
37|12 you get switched to the other team. Then your win/loss ratio worsens, and you get angry for not being in a squad. It seems you're always the one to get teamswitched. My record is being teamswitched twice in one round. I even changed my localization files so that when this happens to you, it says
"Your were switched to the other team by the server, isn't that great"
How does the server determine who to switch. Is it completely random? Or does the admin pick?

The server Admin can move you from inside the BFCC Rcon but most of the time its the Auto Balance that moves you because your not in a squad.

Make or join a squad and you won't get switched.

the server switches teamates in this order

Lonewolfs>sqaudmembers>sqaudleaders>commanders


a tip for switching back to your original team you deserve it seein as u helped em get to the wonderful ownige

choose wat kit you want while ur waitin for teh 15 seconds to count down right b4 the 1 second quikly switch an press enter
dat way u would have changed teams and pressed enter to spawn : youl notice it would normally take like 1 second for the server to kick you bak to the team but doin this fast beats it

PLEASE DONT EXPLOIT THIS GUYS IF YOUR TEAM IS GETTING OWNED EITHER LEAVE THE SERVER OR STICK WITH IT

A wierd thing happened the other day on Ghost Town.

I had made a squad and was driving over the bridge at the SAS uncap with my squad members, then all of a sudden my car "teleported" over to one of the islands with the flags and all of us in the car died and were then teamswitched.

It happened to me for the first time just recently... I didn't mind too much because my teammates were getting slaughtered and most of the soldiers in my squad must have been trained at some third rate boot camp.

The worst time to get team-switched is when you are whoring a vehicle and you know it's going to be available again whenever you get killed in it. But then you get switched to the other team and have to fight on foot the rest of the game. As soon as I get a vehicle (esp. a jet) I join or create a squad.

From what I've been told, if You don't spawn on the new (loosing) team You still get a win

Oh no, not your win/loss ratio! Nothing in the world is more important than that!

YOU MIGHT LOSE .01 POINT!!

First guy to die when balance is needed, in the order that I.M.I Militant says. Squad leaders and commanders are normally safe, but you can get switched very occasionally as either (it's incredibly rare as commander).

Hard to do if the teams are balanced or there are a bunch of bitches fleeing the losing team I wonder how many of those guys think if they're not there when the round ends it doesn't count as a loss?

I've gotten team switched as  lone wolf, squad member, squad leader and commander.  It's really annoying when I get switched as a commander after helping my team kick the other team to one very exposed cp where we can spawn rape them legally. 

I usually leave the server when I get team switched to team full of noobs who can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

More often than not I've been switched by some noob Admin using BF2CC  because he want's his friend on his team.

I get teamswitched a lot. Usually at least once each session, and I play 3 or 4 rounds each session. I do lone wolf a lot but I've been switched while in squads plenty of times. What's especially annoying is that I usually have the highest score on the team despite being a lone wolf and still get switched.

Just like DSRTurtle, I've been switched whether I was In a squad or not, and also as commander.

I notice it happens most with autobalance, and people start jumping out/disconnecting from the losing team, and this creates a large imbalance in teams.

Then If you die right away, you get moved over to rebalance the teams.

Now if it is because of an Admin, not much you can do about it.

BUT, this is what I did.  I was already robbed of my EU 100 point round (to get award) several times do to this.  I would just break 100 points, and get switched to China.  I was so pissed.  So, first I asked admin to move me back.  He said "NO", server was full.  He was my previous commander, so I made his life hell, blowing up is assets constantly.  He would drop supplies trying to fix, and would would destroy them right away again.  He finally had enough and switched me back.  Surprised he didn't just boot me.

I get switched while being a squad member often, just happened last round as a matter of fact. Course we had just gotten the other team down to thier last spawn point when it switches me.... the team I got switched to came back to win, so no big.

Yeah but don't they go in order?
Lonewolfs = lonewolfs
No lonewolfs = S. members
No S. members = squad leaders
No S. leaders = no s. members = lone wolfs
I don't see how a commander can be TSed
Unless It happened before 1.4 patch.

actually, the only SURE way to not get switched is by being commander or squad LEADER

it's just that the server switches Lone Wolves before Squad members, and then it switches the members of the lowest squad and moves up(i.e. squad 3 is lower than squad 1)

I always make my own squad, and I have yet to be switched as squad leader.  It also helps to not die.....cause you only get switched if you die.
