Invulnerability mode in CTF

[Tiplice 0]

I noticed possibly nice abuse of the "invulnerability ghost mode" - when you respawn, you are a "ghost" for few seconds - you can't shoot, but nobody can shoot you. However if someone shares space occupied by you, you will remain ghost longer (as long as someone is at least partially blocking you from materializing.

 

Apart from some annoying situations in deathmatch (especially on small maps these occur quite often) where you can be blocked from materializing and shooting anybody (or from other side, if you keep in same place as some opponent, you will not materialize and nobody can kill you), it could be abused in CTF - several players can "stack" their ghosts, so one tank and many ghost tanks go for capture. Only one can be killed and the rest of the tanks are invulnerable for the time being (only one tank from the stack being hitable at a time).

 

This trick would be very useful on some maps where it is easy to defend, but hard to get the flag. The only problem would be coordination., though I think not an unsolvable problem :)

Agreed, it is a good trick and I myself have gotten many flags by using this method. It requires a ton of coordination therefore It is not such a big problem.This feature was implemented in a game and is not a problem at all.

For the solution to the problem that you cant re-spawn if your position is occupied by someone else, you can just change your position and move away from the blocking body and you will re-spawn.

 

You can move in ghost. :D
