In some of the aussie NS servers we let the greenies join up first and then spread out the vet players among both teams. It would be nice to be able to see how many greenies are on each team at all times so we can alter the balance mid-game or whatever. I can't see any possible drawback to this but plenty of positives, would also help that noobs will stop spamming chat about how our team has no greenies but theirs has heaps (even though we still have 3/4 greenies).

    They could always just have a matchmaking system, thought it would be interesting to see how they would choose who gets aliens and who gets marines.

    I think match making systems are pretty lame to be honest but that's just me.

    +1 May as well show them for both teams, right now some players get the unjust perception that only their team has new players.

    I'd like more servers set to all random to stop team stacking. +1 for being able to see new players.

    Well that won't help the players who want to steam stack. If you want to know where to go, go to spectate mode first.

    But I agree that once in a team, you should be able to see who's who.

    Once in a team, maybe, but I could see this abused a lot. If a team is full of greens and the other has a couple whites, a lot of players would rather join the one with the whites to uneven the teams and get a win.

    Would be nice if game actively went for trying to balance green / white players on each team. instead of having 8 white on one team, and 8 green on the other, i mean thats just pointless, the entire noob team are gonna loose.
