Topic: A new way for capturin the flags.....
Hello there,
I'm a big fan of SW and I was completly disapointed by battlefront series. I hope that this mod will reach the epic battles which seams to lack in other SW games till now.
I'm playing BF2 since it was released and before that I was on BF1942. I noticed that in games ppl will mostly rush the flags and try to hit first any armor or chopper just to get more points from flag captures. This thing kills completly a templay in the game which is IMHO a bad thing.
In order to emphasise the templay the capture flag system should be more like the one in UT2004.
Let me explain it !
In UT2004 conquest mod each team can capture only the flag which isn't locked for the capture. To unlock the flag for capturing you have to capture the previous flag first.
Imagine that you have 3 flags A,B and C. Team 1 got A flag but it can't capture the C flag until the B flag wasn't captured. This will prevent what we can see in BF 2 right now which is ppl flying all over the map trying to capture every single flag on the map. This is screwing completly any decent firefight except on servers which runs 64 player with maps designed for 32 or 16 players.
Moreover this will promote the teamplay since the team will have to work together in order to defend or to attack the flag. With this system every flag can become the choke point and if a team loos all flags it's not because some flyboy is flying in chopper and capturing the flags but because that team sucks.
Thank you.
P.S.
This system allows map designer to lead players and to give them total freedom.
