Why don't we already?

You know, play a round as we do now, after that round the defending team switches to the offensive team and vice versa. Match wins could still be determined by the same ways (a 3rd round or Team points), but it simply removes the map balance issue out of it.

Yay, nay, or is there an actual legitimate reason as to why teams never switch sides? They do it in Countdown, why not Territory?
 
probably because of arsenal problems. It could tie into the role limitations, eg you could give the normally attacking team many more semi-autos and smgs vs the defenders, but when you swap sides it's suddenly very easy for the now-well-armed defenders to gun down everyone. You could mirror the role numbers, but some teams have better weapons (eg mg34) and you would still have a similar problem :(
