Issue: Implement Team Balance System

Description

In team-based gameplay, ensuring a balanced distribution of player strength between teams is crucial for fairness and enjoyable gameplay. This task will involve creating a team balance system that adjusts the teams dynamically based on various factors like player skill, kills, deaths, and other gameplay-related statistics.

Requirements:

1. Team strength evaluation — the system should assess the current strength of each team. This could involve factors like:

   • Player skill levels (based on previous performance, such as K/D ratio, accuracy, etc.)
   • Player experience points or rank
   • Number of kills/deaths
   • Other in-game statistics that may impact balance

2. Dynamic team adjustments — if one team becomes significantly stronger than the other, the system should attempt to balance teams automatically by:

   • Moving players between teams.
   • Adjusting respawn points or spawn areas based on team strength (if applicable).
   • Possibly using bots or AI to fill out weaker teams, if allowed.

3. Manual overrides — allow server administrators or game mode configuration to manually adjust certain settings, like player strength evaluation methods or how often adjustments are made.

4. Player notification — inform players when a balance adjustment has been made, such as a message in the chat or a visual cue in the HUD.

5. Balance display — provide a way for players to see current balance, such as a percentage or some other visual indicator, showing how close the teams are in terms of strength.

6. Configurable parameters:

   • Evaluation criteria (e.g., K/D ratio, experience points, etc.)
   • Frequency of team balancing
   • Maximum number of players allowed on each team
   • How many adjustments should be made before switching players

Additional Requirements:

• All balancing parameters should be configurable via the configuration file.
• The balance system should take into account both human and bot players when adjusting teams.
• Potential future extensions might involve integrating with existing matchmaking systems, if necessary.
