Force Team Balance?

So...Force Team Balance doesn't balance out human players. The bots are actually going to kill this game, I don't know maybe make them optional.

Ever stop and think for a second, that'd be a maybe bad idea?

What if there WERE no bots on either team? And you got screwed 1 v 7-8 ppl?! Would you be happy then? I hate the AI bots as well, the enemy AND ours. But it's better than having literally NOBODY with you.

That wouldn't be a problem if there matchmaking worked correctly. Assuming there are players actually playing this game how long would it take to find players to replace the ones that left? 1, maybe 2 mins.
Thats the way it is on any other MP game ive played. However in this game, i can go the whole game without human players being added. This would suggest that there matchmaking isn't up to par.

It's not the developer's fault that everyone on the Xbox version switches teams to Resistance.

Every match I've played on xbox live without the people I usually play with, meaning by myself, ends up being me on Security with maybe one or two people on my team against a Resistance team full of players. If you want decently fun games and not one sided spawn camp fests people are going to have to learn to even out the teams on their own.

The thing that's the most mind boggling about all of this is that I don't see this kind of behavior on PC. My PC matches almost always consist of even teams, but that's probably because I use the server browser to find games that are almost full. The 360 version should have a server browser with some way to gauge latency.

It would also be nice to see the 360 version get support for a higher resolution than 420p. The game looks horrible in 420p, even more so after seeing it in high rez on PC.

I agree with what your saying,but at the same time i'm not sure the game does a very good job of trying to even out the teams.
For example, playing in freeplay old school, which is 4v4 max with my brother we went through 2 full matches where the game was 4v2 (ourselves being the 2 against 4 other players).
We didnt get another player added to our team till the 3rd game. This tells me either there wasnt anyone else playing brink, or the matchmaking isn't working very well right now.

As for the graphics, there horrible on the 360.
