Tweak Highlander Server

I mentioned this idea today in vent and some people thought it would be great.

The highlander server should randomly assign people to classes every round. This way we avoid a person hogging a class the whole game as well as mix things up.

It could also mean steamrolls like the world has never seen.

Even when people can pick whatever class suits their liking, there is always a significant imbalance in teams on our pub highlander server. I don't think there is any real way to solve it, just hope players will stop themselves before joining the stacked team.

I don't think that would go over to well, just try asking nicely for said person to stop hoggin.

some people used to like to hog classes

ehehehe, those were funny days

The highlander really focuses on the teambased aspect of TF2. Even more than regular pubbing you MUST work as a team in order to gain a victory.
This is primarily because only one person can fill a role. So there is a finite quantity of roles that can defend, attack, support, etc.
For this reason it is essential that the team work together when assigning classes to players. If the current demo is a shit demo, and someone else is more competent at demo, they should switch places.

Obviously it will never be perfect, so if you can't fill your primary class, try to switch to your secondary.

Make sure you are asking around, hey does anyone want to play <insert your class here>

I dont think there is anything wrong with hogging a class as long as there isn't someone who can do it better than you. If there is and they ask, you should give it up unless your team is already winning.
