>BKA< T Wrecks · **Different treatment of joining players -** 13-06-2004

Robert's worries, part 2: When a DS is configured to run 8 on 8 bot matches and a player joins, a bot will be kicked for the player to join (at least the way he has his DS configured). So far, so good.
However, the bot gets kicked before the player has fully connected and joined a team. So it could happen that a T bot gets kicked to make room for the joining player. Now the player has finished loading the map and decides to play as CT. As a result, there would be 9 CT against 7 T.
Now we wondered if it would be possible to force joining players into spectator mode first and keep all bots as active players - until the player has chosen a team to play for. Now a bot could be kicked from that very team to keep the teams balanced... impossible, possible or nonsense?
