Oh Warpath, how I love your cruel ways.
We are losing, they are pushing
Our medics nowhere to be seen.

I make the switch, hoping to help.
Medic! They cry,
Around I run, Uber charging the stream.

I am fully charged,
It's time to run,
I grab the Demo and go.

We clear the path, we take the bridge,
We push them back
To their last point they go.

I rejoice in my task
A nice run indeed
As the Pyro burns my soul.

I prepare to respawn,
Get back in the game
And push to accomplish the goal.

Wait! Somethings wrong,
I shouldn't spawn here
And why is my interface now red?

I've moved teams?
How can this be?
Curses echoing in my head.

Oh Warpath, how I love your cruel ways.
From victory to defeat,
In the blink of an eye.

No matter, fight on!
Killing those you once helped,
Albeit with a hearty sigh.
 
I only seem to get auto-balanced immediately after breaking through the team's defenses and hurting them real bad... I get auto-balanced and then have to defend what I just created... :lol:
 
Warpath has a mind of its own when it comes to Auto-balance. But we play on.
 
autobalance... it always picks on me!

after ive had two crits and wiped out half their team, of course when i get switch i apologise for kiling my new comrades/old enemies
 
lol, I'm with you there, midget! I'll grab a medic and tear through all their defenses on 2fort, then die and get switched. Makes for a poor introduction to the new team :D
 
Or during a match that you are losing badly watch auto balance dash your dreams....

Imagine you are madly defending the first cp when alas help has arrived in the form of Woodstock. Yay!! Much rejoicing...only to see autobalance pluck him away to the winning team. Jehuty joins...YAY! Again autobalanced to the winning team....and on and on it goes....unless it's (joe noob) then he/ she is stuck on your team like glue....lol...then you are defending like crazy while trying to answer questions like "Where's a good place to build my sentry?" "Hey, can you help me fix my spray?" LOL...it's maddening sometimes.
 
This stuff always happens on Warpath when I'm playing....autobalance just doesn't know what to do with the Kasparov of TF2 :)
 
LOL AzzNik, too true, too true. It seems that Warpath likes the make the ultimate team all the time. Maby thats why the Royal Rumble was there. The Council wanted the auto-balance on their side. HA.
 
Alas it is impossible to win in warpath no matter how good you are.Never seen it happened myself >:(
 
To me... it is less about winning and losing... and more about liking to play with certain people... I will almost always join a team that has Azznick on it... I like being his medic on Warpath.... same goes for Woodstock... I know that whatever team he is on has at least one good medic... I get in there and help back him up... win or lose... the game is still too much fun...
 
Indeed, an important tool that only seems to kick in precisly when it is not needed, or is that just us remembering more memorable disasters?
 
rofl, I just came to the forums to register, since this is my new warpath2 home, and I saw this thread. If this is in response to a run you made last night, I think I may have been that demoman! I tried to pipe the pyro but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can't hit anything with pipes/stickes! I'm pretty sure I said sorry after you got team switched!
 
Auto-balance is never fun and I can attest to getting switched multiple times (Especially on Warpath).

However, it is quite a satisfying experience when, after pushing them back to their last point; getting auto balanced; then reversing the tide and push the other team back all the way back to their last point. =)

Very satisfying indeed.... except when it auto balances you again. :(

Yes sir, that was indeed you and I couldn't get it out of my head last night, so I had to write that up at work this morning. Made me feel better at least!

Good, I thought that only happened to me.

Also how come when you get auto'ed to red on a map like dustbowl do you get stuck behind the horrendous spawn times. Whats the point of autobalance when the blu team caps the last point in the 25 seconds before you can respawn.

So last night.... I join red and red team pushes blue back to the first cap. I'm thinking woot as I smell blood. Then BAM you know it auto balance attacks!!!!!!!! "Hi Blue Team!" OH NOES back at the first with red on us like white on rice. Blue is fighting like mad to defend. This story has a different ending though. Azzazel was on blue as a medic. I go pyro and Azzazel hits me with an uber. For once, an entire team follows the uber. We capture 2nd point, bridge, red 2nd point, and BOOM red's first point all in about a one minute turn around. It was awesome and an amazing comeback. From this I have learned that 2 Azzes are better than 1. :D Seriously, it was a sweet team effort.

Great games last night. Wow we have some good players and great people on our servers. /grouphug
