A VC player had been frozen in the MARSH map and wasn't being thawed in a hurry. A weird noise made me look back to him and he mutated into a Marine before my eyes, the colour of the ice changing from red to blue. It made me wonder if this was supposed to happen and one could change sides at will (even when frozen) having been auto-assigned one at the start of the game? As the player was not a clan member but a visitor, I also wondered if he was running some sort of exploit to enable him to do this. If there's a disparity between the numbers of players on each team, the usual automatic adjustment takes place at the end of the round being played so is this something requiring the further attention of tech guru Rick?

I have done this while frozen because I hit tab to see whats happening. If I change I wind up frozen in the same spot but on the other team. Again, I have only changed to fairly balance the teams.

If there's a major imbalance between the teams and the next round's a long way off, I can see this can be useful. Awards
