    Seriously, this is annoying when I'm playing with 3-4 other players and we're constantly being split up and having to rejoin to reset the stupid ass team switching thing. Can you guys adjust this or offer a solution so we dont get split up? Not fun.

    What server are you referring to?

    Also squads are not broken up on the map change scramble unless all other squads are kept intact due to those players joining first on the server.. Now if your referring to your friends being switched to the "stupid ass team" when you join mid round, lone wolfs (individuals not in squads) are balanced first, then the last players to join the server are balanced after all of lone wolfs have been balanced.

    In short if you and your gaming buddies are being balanced to the "stupid ass team" that's because you were the last to join the server or you guys weren't in a squad together.

    Hi, me and 3 other friends play at your BF3 24/7 Rush Vanilla Maps almost everyday. It used to be that the server switched whole squads instead of individual players when the map changes, but now it splits up our squad when the server shuffles teams. It splits our squad up even if we are in a party in battlelog (not sure if this matters since I have no idea how BF3 servers interact with battlelog). We would appreciate it if you look into this issue ASAP. Thank you!

    What I understood from the other posts is that only the stupid ass-teams get sodomized.. make sure you're on the smart ass-team and you can be top (I guess..).

    I'm not sure how long ago you are referring to but I just tested it myself on the Rush server and squads were not broken up on server scramble. In the past there may of been a few scenarios where squads could of been broken up but I eliminated those possibilities when I first read the OP.

    Also keep in mind the server you're referring to is a 32 man slot server and there are instances that we can't prevent when squads are broken up. Generally in Rush there are very few lone wolfs (individuals not in squads) and on round change about 30% of the player base leaves. When this happens the server still needs to balance the teams and if there are no lone wolfs to move, the server will break squads to balance the teams.

    I'm not sure what server the OP was referring to and RJSF I'm glad you and your friends enjoy our Rush server. But I regret to inform you that the Rush server is going offline on Aug. 2nd. At this point we are focusing and gearing up for Armored Kill.

    This is sad news :(

    Anyway, thank you for that very clear explanation regarding the server balancing issue. See you on Armored Kill!
