Reworked Assault Mode


Recommended Posts

The holiday map was the only map that was meant for ASL. Right now, it's being forced into maps not meant for it. 

 

I think we should take a step back and redesign Assault Mode. Remember the old Massacre and Combe CTF? You had to bring the flag to the other base? That's basically 2-way assault mode and it was more like deliver the flag (DTF). 

 

The new assault mode should basically be like that. It's basically standard CTF but both sides have to deliver the flag to the other base.

 

So in this mode, it will be completely balanced because both sides have the same objective and the same way of keeping track of points.

Too much like rugby, i think its much better for 1 team to only defend and 1 team to only attack, the problem is the maps. It should just be locked out of maps its too imbalanced on.

1 team defending = Camping. 1 team attacking = kills D/L. That is exactly why Assault doesn't work. 

 

Plus, how is this like Rugby? The only similarity is that you score a point by getting something over to the other side. But it's much different. You both have the flags in your own base. You have to get a flag-carrier to the other side while being able to return your flag (which spawns in the enemy base) to score a point. Rugby is one ball and you don't need the enemy to mess up.

I dont really see the problem with this, defenders have to be somewhat spread out or they get destroyed by magnums and thunders. D/L doesnt matter a whole lot since anyone who cares will either play on blue or avoid the mode entirely.

Exactly. And that's why the people don't play this mode. Defenders are being hit by magnums and thunders. Attackers basically can't win without an all magnum team. It sucks. That's why we need to change it.

I hate the maps that had you delivering the flag to the other base in CTF, the matches where either dominated by a couple heavies with Twins and isida support or where complete chaos where neither team knew what they were doing

That would be better than the ASL that I don't play. There's one thing I don't like that old Massacre mode though, players fight and wait to take the flag and don't help. Tanki can help with that by not giving flag Missions for this mode, and maybe it should not be about flags for less confusion.

I don't know about all of that, but I always wanted to be able to carry multiple flags. Maybe the downside could be that each one slows you down?

If you think that this is too similar to CTF, maybe each team has 3 flags to deliver to the other side? Then you would have to know to return the right flag and it will be easier to score a point because people wouldn't be focused on this one flag-carrier.
