I like push maps too... I hate when people capture the flags at the back unless the map is wide open and doesn't have definte fronts ands backs.

Push maps FTW!

Yes I agree^^^^ I always enjoyed playing push maps in FH because the battle was always going on and it was a tough fight for the cps.

That just sounds like classic push gameplay.

This sounds like something from UT2004, but would still be a nice addition. I always like the idea of a front line so that no one can sneak behind the lines and take the farthest away cp.

Isn't that like a racing gun as far as the flags are concerned? I'm sorry to be off topic but what is POE: 2?

POE 2 has a nice little mode called frontline. Each side has an uncap base (or you could have cappable), and you can only capture a flag if it connects to your one. Since all the flags are in a line, this forces people to all go for one flag. This mode is great for smaller numbers of players.

e.g:

red uncap - red base - red base - red base - [neutral] - blue base - uncap

Here red are winning. Both sides can only go for the neutral base right now.

e.g 2:

red uncap - red base - red base - [red base - blue base] - blue base - uncap

Now either team can only attack the other base in square brackets, as there are no neutrals. They can still go round, but only to attack from behind.

P.S: The map I played this in had lots of open space punctuated by buildings - this wouldnt work in city maps, as Karkand (which is essentially an example of this) shows well.
