Topic: 'please balance teams' - which one? :)

it would be nice if it said something like

teams unbalanced : red has 5, blue has 3

otherwise you need to die to see the scoreboard - or is there a way to see the scoreboard without dying?

Wow! Not that I want to be rude, but it appears as if you have never played a game with a scoreboard (quake, ut, cs etc).

If you hold TAB it shows the scoreboard. If you hold TAB and press t to chat, then the scoreboard will stay up, which is quite useful, so you don't need to remember the spelling of somebodys name.

nearly in every multiplayer game you can see the scoreboard by pressing TAB

Re: 'please balance teams' - which one? :)

While implementing I tought about a message that states which team has less players.

But
a) this additional info is imo too much on screen and is distracting
b) mostly you'll notice which team has less players
c) as FireArrow said, there's always the possibility to show scoreboard with <TAB>

datag, perhaps have server-based commands that anyone can call (like counterstrike's "nextmap" command) which will bring up notifications in some area.

Examples:
- "/teams" - would show something like "Red: 5  Blue: 3" or you could just show a red 5 and a blue 3.
- "/top" - could show the top player or team
- "/map" - could show the current map
- "/nextmap" - could show the next map
etc..

It is much easier to use tab to get to the scoreboard to see this, than to write a command in the chat.
The other ideas were good, but this shouldn't be solved by entering in the chat, maybe some kind of addition to the Server Info-tab in the menu.

It is easier again to bind a key to "say /teams" or something like that ...
