Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Um, it's been working since the game's release.

Yep.

What's really sad is the fact none of the other Halos have any sort of team balance.

When we began to play Halo, we took an oath!
According to our station! All without exception!
On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the Seventh Column!
Even to our dying breath!
Those who would break this oath are heretics! Worthy of neither pity nor mercy!
We shall grind them into dust! Wipe them as excrement from our boots!
And continue our march to glorious salvation!

Not a lot of games nowadays have team balance.

(In a sort of teamwork way.)

Are you on drugs DusK ???? Team balance has "NEVER WORKED RIGHT!!!" I have been running a halo 1 server for 5 years. I constantly have to ask user's to even up the teams. If they don't even up the teams I kick them off the server. A lot people understand why I kick people off the server to even up the teams. It's not much fun when It's 4 to 10. Not fun at all!!

Have a nice day!

I officially have some respect for you. Simply because you listed Tribes/Tribes 2 at the top of the list. Even though the Team Balance on Starsiege Tribes works after the match is finished...

It's not designed to automatically shift players like other games do. Its only function is to prevent players from joining larger teams, and it does that. That's ALL. Therefore, it's not broken and it's working as intended.

Yea, the team balance works fine. Set the auto-balancing option in your gametype editor.

The game is working as intended, just because it doesn't work the way YOU want it to work does not mean that it's "broken".

That said, I'm currently working with someone on a server application (for Custom Edition) that adds team balancing. It seems to work fairly well at this point but we're still working out some bugs. Right now it checks the teams every 30 seconds, if an imbalance is detected a **SERVER** message is displayed letting players know that teams will be auto balanced in 30 seconds. At 15 seconds the server performs another check, if the teams are still uneven it displays another **SERVER** message, if they're now even it goes back to checking every 30 seconds. At 0 seconds random players from the team with more players are switched to the team with less players and a **SERVER** message displays how many players were switched.

This functionality most likely will not become available on the normal PC version. Custom Edition has more stable leading than PC servers, and custom maps are awesome.
