It's rather ridiculous when you enter an arena to see teams like these:
Bishops:2
Knights:22
Rooks:8
Would it be so difficult to have the server balance the teams?
That really is ridiculous. Usually whenever I log MW its usually:
Bishops:2
Knights:8
Rooks:
22

I know exactly what you mean, but if you ever get a chance, try logging in at different times. You will see that each chess piece has its own 'horde' time. Thats one of the reasons maps don't change in the EW/MW for ages

. Four hours of you horde my fields, followed by four hours of I horde your fields

Perhaps a country auto-assign feature might really be useful? Ofcourse it would have to factor squad allocations but could also be implemented with a 'swap and switch' option? i.e. find someone on the other side willing to switch places. With even numbers I think finding people to swap sides wouldn't be as difficult since there wouldn't really be a horde to stick to?
