Throwing the flag.


 Share

Recommended Posts

In the old graphics, when we used to go out of the map with the flag, it kept being outside of the map, was it a bug? And why was it removed?

 

It was very interesting, more gameplay tactics were there when it was in the game, it must come back, it is useful, especially players who can get pushed out by other players in strong battles, when the flag is back to enemy base, there is no hope in getting it back.

 

 

Here is how should it go:

 

When a player falls, if he didn't press F in the middle of falling, the flag should return to enemies' base, if he did press F before he completely fall, the flag stays down for 15 seconds.

 

 

BRING IT BACK!

So I think there is no need to close this, keep it open for discussion.

It would actually be kinda cool if we could 'toss' the flag... like up in the air.. it would be more exciting. Perhaps when you die, the flag could stay inside of your exploded corpse (which may have went flying) until the corpse disappears, then other people could grab it... that or the F button could allow you to throw the flag, if you hold down F for 3 seconds , it would fly forward like 5 meters. It would make it super strategical for CTF matches. Tapping F however would let it drop immediately under you.

 

 

P.S. 500th post! :D

I believe they removed it because it was an easy way to mult. If you take flag and jump your team can't capture anymore. This would give enemy time to grab your flag and wait till it returns.

Someone could simply jump and return it, that's why it should be 15 seconds.

@brandy: Nah, you shouldn't be able to toss it 5 meters forward, but I agree with the flag attaching to your corpse until it disappears.

This is fine too, because you can actually determine the direction that your corpse flies, by how you move during the last few seconds... you could probably even use it in a manner to self destruct while holding the flag, while driving towards an elevated object (a red container for example) so your corpse (if you're a wasp or hornet) will fly on top of the red container, leaving the flag up there, unable to be reached. Though this would be rare and probably difficult to execute, especially at the last second... but yeah you can really choose where your corpse flies with enough practice lol.

@iLikeTurtle: So what if the enemy self-destructs? He has  simply outsmarted your abilities. Maybe it's time to sharpen them up a bit? :)

 

I do not believe someone should be punished for being clever.
