R/S capping
« on: February 05, 2007, 07:35:17 pm »
This is for R/S players because its the only place where ppl complain about capping/Running/Capturing the flag. Iam wondering why do ppl complain about it so much and thinks its such a noob thing to do? Ive been in servers where ive been /kicked /banned /killed for capping.

The reason i capped is because it was a strategic move. Map was Voland and the blue team was camping spawn healing. So i snatched the flag and ran spraying behind me. Once i capped it the admin /killed me for capping and said ive been warned. I said Whats one good reason i shouldnt be able to cap? No one answered.

So iam wondering if u guys would have a GOOD reason that I shouldnt cap. Iam also wondering why there isnt any TDM servers? U can still use ctf maps without the flags.

There is no good reason for calling anyone a noob because he caps. The worst thing there can be is bannin/kicking person because of caps in R/S CTF game. If they want to play Teammatch in CTF maps, why don't they set up a server for it?

I wanted to play R/S CTF, I do not play it because of that fact that when I would cap, I would be automaticall regonized as a noob runner capper and later kicked because of it. R/S CTF is fun, R/S Teammatch is not (at least not in CTF maps).

This is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing I've heard. (I'm on your side!) :P

The gamemode is called "Capture the Flag", regardless of any server settings like R/S, etc. The concept of the game is to capture the flag. Why the **** wouldn't you cap? That's what you're supposed to do! If any server admins /kill you or kick you for this, (Or any punishment, for that matter) just leave the server, knowing that they are being idiots for doing such a thing.

Also, I clicked [applaud] for ya. :)

I find it quite laughable when I kill half the team myself, grab the flag, kill the other half on the way back except for one obscure camper hiding somewhere remote, cap, and get called a noob. Still, public gaming for you. Idiots, all of them.

Yeah I often get people in the DS pub servers asking me to kick someone for capping, and I always say that if you fail to defend your flag, then you deserve to lose the round. If you don't want capping in your server, alter the maps so nobody can get the flags... that'll do away with all your troubles. ::)

Capping on R/S is good. But killing the last cry***** and capping in the last second is even better - you get double point and piss the anticap noobtards off - priceless ;]

Fear not, for a script has been written to smite those who dare cap in a CTF map during an R/S match:

http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=10687.0

And I say unto thee...screw it, if you can cap then cap.  Sharing a similar opinion, I'd say play the same maps on a different mode and forget about the flags.

Geo, that script is for double capping, where you score after all the enemies have died, thus giving you 2 points for the round. I think it's a bug, since the round is supposed to end when one team loses all their players.

I know what the script is for...just making a reference to something related.

Yes, capping is no problem I think. If they want to have a teammatch, then they should play Teammatch and not CTF, period.

I've seen people complain about it since the beginning of R/S and I never understood it, and it still gets me annoyed every time. Like Vis said, if one team managed to take the flag all the way back to their own base and cap, the other team is doing something wrong...

I think the whole capping issue is stupid. Youre playing CTF, what you do mean we cant cap? I cap when it is strategically applicable. For example, if my whole team is alive and salughtering everyone else, I aint gonna cap until the round ends (for double score). But then if we are losing, HECK YES IM GONNA CAP! I dont care. The whole camping/capping/M79 issue is stupid to boot people over. I always tell people who have issues to come here, thats when i do when i wanna vent.

I think there is nothing wrong with capping either. This has been said before... The game is called Capture The Flag, so there is no reason why not to capture the flag.

Whenever i play on a R/S server, i dont cap untill im sure that its okay for the other players....  :-\

And when someone else caps, and gets flamed, i back him up by saying:

"Hey guys!! chill for f*cks sake!! its CTF!!!  >:(

....Sometimes it works... sometimes it dont....  :P

I have a screen shot of this guy calling me a "noob runner" for scoring the game-winning capture when he's trying to kill me. I thought I did an excellent job of running and diving to cap, and he's too obsessed with deathmatch-style gameplay to remember that it's "capture the flag", not "kill the other team".
Hey, what about R/S HTF on CTF maps? I bet that'd be good.

Double-scoring is stupid. One of the worst bugs in Soldat.

As I stated in another thread..

IMO double scoring can be ideal tactic for some clans. If they are good at it, they deserve the win. Loser team needs just to blame itself because of losing the match, and not being able to stop the another teams tactic. Tongue

On public servers tho, I do not see double scoring SO tactical, but it should not be punished IMO.

Yea.. just got kicked for capping. Flamed back a little but its annoying being called a noob with best score not including the caps it was like a 10-1 stats. I noticed that most of these whiners r europeans, Pretty much all of them are. These players give europeans bad rep and there started to kill soldat for me.
