Can we please implement this like on server #4 (Insane like Train)? The scout barrage is unbearably annoying.

6v6 with me being the only person not being a scout was a little well odd and stupid. It wasn't even fun at that point destroying them with my rockets because there were so many hopping around like jackasses trying to get their 1000 double jumps.

I don't know how possible this is because of the randomness of teams in Arena. People pick classes before they are assigned to a team, so the server wouldn't really know how many classes there are on the team until you join it, meaning it would force you to switch when the round starts (assuming that forcing the switch would actually work), which also means that players would have no assigned class when a round starts if they are forced off and have five seconds to pick another class or they get kicked off the team for that round - I realize most of us can pick a class in less than 5 seconds, but new people who don't get why they're being asked to pick another class could be confused by that.

Also, if I'm doing well as a class, then the teams get scrambled and the game randomly forces me to switch classes instead of the other two people playing the same class, I know I'd be pretty annoyed with that...

When you join you get to choose a class and you see your team color, that's when it can tell you yes or no.

He means after 3/5 wins, the teams get scambled, now you might have to change classes.

I see this as a problem =/

I know atleast on ESEA servers, when this happens, it switches you to a different class. Like if a team was balanced to having 3 scouts, 1 of the scouts would be switched to a class like spy or something. Then they'd still have time to switch to another available class.

I'm not sure how neccacary it is, and could be very hard to implement

Also, arent there already limits on Train?

This was happening even before this scout update. I'd be in arena server on well and it'd turn into a 6v6 scout vs scout. It's stupid, and it feels like a joke server after that. That is why I never ever play arena anymore.
