New Features to Help Speed Up Set Up Times

I recommend that when you pick a team, you are allowed to pick random. Random would then place players randomly into teams once the game starts (ie. 2 on each team in a 2v2 map) and then place them near each other.

Might help shave some time off of planning stages where everyone is about the same skill and nobody can think of who they want on their team.

Thoughts?

i like, but the game would have to be tought where to place the teams. for instance star traffic can be played top v bottom or left v right. for every map the map maker would need a way to inform the game of where teams should be placed, and that would probably require a lot of code. its a nice idea, but i see the placement of teams being the main hindrance.

eh random team... well could be nice sometimes but really in order to balance a team game you need to split in based on experience. If it was random you might put all the best players on one team and the weaker players on the other, and that would be no fun. A lot of the problem with setting up a team game is that not everyone is paying attention....
