Why does bf2 not have it so you select what teams are on each map and which side they get?????? This would be VERY easy to impliment!!!!
How absolutely wrong you are. This would most certainly NOT be easy to acomplish,
not now.
First off, the game engine itself from a
basic standpoint isn't built to do this. If you would have used the editor you'd know that spawn points are locked to a team, and teams are tied to a map.
Second off, some of the ranking relies on the fact that when you play "XYZ" map, you are playing in "XYZ" theater -- being able to switch it up at will would be troublesome.
Third, why? So you can remove the blackhawk whoring on Mashtuur? You realize that both teams would just pick to play US, right? That's how it'd go down for that map anyway.
Fourth: Difficulty -- who picks what the teams are? Players? Yeah right, most servers can't get a 12 vote kick to pass, I doubt people are going to be responsive to 'switching the teams' via whatever method it's done through.
Fifth: because of the fact that different armies have different weapons and vehicles, a maps layout and surroundings have an effect on gameplay and balance. Maps would be infinitely harder to balance if you have to play test it with every variation of armies.
Sixth and final:
Just Say No. I would much, much, much rather have them working to improve more important aspect of the game like the server browser, verification speed, memory leaks, graphics quality, and bugs than to be running around trying to get all the maps to work in whatever wonky configuration you think would be better.
