I doubt that zep games load teams any differently than other games. I think the main problem is that many defenders leave as soon as they see what the game is. :dry:

Just watch all of the names that spawn in and quickly leave. Lots of good players even.
Ever notice how rare it is that an attacker leaves?

Not just Zep games. I don't know what crazy algorithm the server is using, but I've been in many games -- the most recent yesterday -- with fun, evenly matched teams. Then a couple of guys leave and -- you guessed it -- the server gives the opponents two more players, and the team on the short end of the stick gets slaughtered quickly.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the server is set to try to make games last no longer than a certain segment of time, and it'll load up one side to finish the game faster if a game is nearing its "optimal" limit.

Stuart, Littleking, we've all been there, most of us,,,ME prefer those odds 5+ to 1- me. My kills go way up because I don't have to share :evil: and yes I always carry. McFate I to think its a roll of the dice but I still enjoy it win loose or draw. And Pluribus try Prozac it may improve your game :woohoo: Hey! Im just saying.... :whistle:

Dr. Dave, Prozac won't help my reflexes improve, which is one of my major challenges with shooting games. Crystal meth might, but it would kill me, so I guess I won't go that route.

The other challenge is hand-eye coordination, which I've never been good at. Can't shoot a basketball or hit a baseball worth a damn. Never could. If I manage to get a kill in a game, it's usually a lucky shot.

Bombing is OK because the targets don't move, and I don't need to autocorrect much. Or as much, anyhow.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, though.

Prozac didn't go off the market because of that. Basically the patent ran out and now you can get fluoxetine as a generic. A Doctor should know that. :)
