    You're playing CTF. The game has been going on for 15 minutes, and it is really intense. Each team has 2 caps, and you have the flag. As you get closer to your team's flagroom in hope of getting the final cap, the players on the server stop moving. The sounds stop. The game mechanics aren't working. Everything disappears and a screen comes up informing you that some internet-related error has occurred. You have lagged out! But if you join quick enough, maybe the flag is still floating there on the ground, waiting to be picked up. You connect to the server again only to find that you are on the wrong team! You try to do /switch, but the server informs you that there will be uneven teams. You realize that those 15 minutes spent trying to steal the flag and get a cap have been made completely irrelevant in as few as 30 seconds.

    CTF hasn't always worked this way. Once upon a time, the game was a little smarter and it put you on the same team that you were playing on if you disconnected and rejoined. Now, the game is not so smart. Instead of the game treating you like a player returning to the game, it places you on the team with the least number of players.

    Can we make the game smart again?

    At first I wasn't going to post a reply but honestly, that sounds really irritating and one of the most annoying things about ctf. I have to agree though to that because that sounds really annoying.

    That would be nice. Makes it hard to get 9 caps on blackout though.

    I understand this helps balance teams, but I do agree that rejoining on the same team is preferable. I'd like to see this changed back :stuck_out_tongue:

    Perhaps the lagging can be addressed first.

    Are you hardwired or using wifi?

    Is your graphics card old or relatively new? These can all impact the perception of the lag occurring.

    I have gigabit ethernet running to my pc. My graphics card crushes MC - anywhere from 150 to 600 fps. It is a Nvidia GTX 750ti.

    I think I noticed a trend. The server lags more with more players on it. Maybe 35vs35 CTF is too big for brawl?

    If people did not lag out, this would not be an issue. Ideally, the lag should be eliminated, but I think that some people will still have lag no matter what Brawl does to prevent it. Maybe as a better solution, we can place people in the same team if they attempted to join the server within three minutes or so from disconnecting.
