I was playing in a NS, i was on aliens it was 6 marines vs 7 aliens. I think i read somehere marienes need to have 1 more player compared to aliens (becouse of the commander i think) then the marines start shouting TEAMS (couse one of their was away) so after 2 min of listening TEAMS i decide to change, teams now are 7 marines vs 6 aliens then after i killed some aliens a voto shows up to kick me, "Why' i ask", "u are beeing lamme u change to the team thast wining" they awser (specially the aliens team awser).

I had a similar situation last night where the aliens had more players and I asked someone to swap. The reply I got was "someone will join soon and even the teams". It took 6-7 minutes for another person to join and even the teams by which time the game was more or less over. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Why can't people just even the teams when asked? You don't even have to retry anymore!
The skills of the players on each team probably would make more of a difference, however. Either way, it doesn't get much better than a difference of 1 player. Skill balances are much harder to fix.
I especially don't want to switch teams, if I'm saving res for something - what a waste of my time.
If you are the marine comm, have done everything to control 5 RTs and teched up, it would feel like **** to be forced to go alien.
But if you the games are about tied, you might just as well change.
As far as I'm concerned, a late-joiner when the teams are balanced should either go Random, or join whichever team (s)he prefers.
Edit:
Ok I have something to add <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

By the way a funny fact this may be my first Post but
I am at least 6 days longer registered in this forum than talesin <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
This isn't true. While it isn't likely you'll run out of res med spamming, it can happen. But even medspam doesn't always work to keep someone alive.. regardless of all that, though, a commander can't always afford (time wise, not money wise) to medspam a marine [squad] all the time, he's got better things to do.
He can't see everything, either. If you have a few n00bs or even one rambo, well it can serioulsy hurt your chances.
I think it's well accepted that one alien can be far more damaging than one marine. It's a lot more common to see one skulk get multiple kills than one marine.. it's even worse with higher lifeforms.
The commander may be powerful, but without enough marines he's useless. One gorge can single-handedly cap and protect multiple RTs much better than a marine can.. and well.. the commander can drop as many RTs as he wants, but if they're not built and/or defended, they're useless.
Aliens can't win alone, but they can do far more in small groups or solo than marines can. The game is designed to force marines to move in squads to survive, while aliens can go "hunting" on their own with fewer consequences. Marines need the extra man.
The skills of the players on each team probably would make more of a difference, however. Either way, it doesn't get much better than a difference of 1 player. Skill balances are much harder to fix. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is BULL!
Aliens need gorges... gorges cannot always help or be there, like a comm can.
Aliens need the extra players, ALWAYS, not marines.
The comm is anything but a man down. He's there making your marines kick some serious as#.
Heh man this GAME IS ABOUT <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>FUN</span> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Not true again. Think about it.. the commander can drop an RT anywhere, but if there's no marine there to build it, it's useless. That automatically takes two people out of the fight to build something.
Now what can a Gorge do? Not only can he drop the RT, he can build the static defenses required to prevent marines from taking it. He can do that alone, with his own res, and requires no help. That leaves the skulks free to hunt anything they want, without having to be somewhere to help someone else out.
Gorges also do have weapons... they may not be the most powerful, but what can a commander do?... Drop CCs on people?.. Yeah, okay. Atleast a Gorge is a gun. Not only is he a gun, but he's also got his own version of "medspam".. it may not be anywhere at any time, but it's incredibly useful. And even his version of the "med pack" is a gun, as well.
Think about it.

?
I know this game is about fun. But what makes this game fun is the teamwork, if everyone just does what they like to do all the time, well that takes the concept of NS outside, puts a shroud on its head, and shoots it from behind. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
