Theoretical Gamemode - Neutral Flag

[Wraithlike]

The idea for this gamemode is very simple. It fuses Hold the Flag with Trench War, to create a tactical gamemode based on teamwork, ans strategy. In this mode, the htf flag is placed in the middle of a trenchwar map, and the idea is for teams to fight for control of the neutral central flag, then safely hold it at their base. This would improve upon Trench War, as there would always be a definite winner, instead of the all to common stalemates, seen in TW.

Looking for feedback/responses/support.

Wow... its creative yet simple... I happen to love this idea
12sies!

but then the team with the flag would take it all the way to their base and just camp there. If there were a way to make it so the flag had to be within a certain area, I would support.

[SirJamesaford]

aaahhhhh dante... camping is a part of a soldiers life (both real and fake).... camping is a great thing (when is comes to flag based games that is)

It would be better(IMO) if the yellow flag was a new spawnpoint you could get if you controled that area.

[GluLm]

This is not a bad idea but wouldn't it be better to place spawn points on some sort of high hills, so that flag carriers can't go back and camp like they usually do on CTF (i.e. b2b).
They would just camp under those two bunkers on each sides.

I think it would be good to make it so people could not make it back to the base where they spawn but there should be a perimeter for defending the flag. This would actually prevent spawn camping also. Grenade boosting would be a problem here I think so it would need some tweaking with map desing to not make it possible

[Avarax]

you could write a very simple script that would allow the flagcarrier only to stay near the original flagspawn. otherwise, he would take damage over time quickly.

edit: dang, cant check yellow flags XY coordinates

[mxyzptlk]

Avarax, that would work well.

I would like to see NtrlFlag servers happen.

Easy. The script is called "ENEMIES RUSHING FROM OPPOSITE SIDE!! OMG RETREAT AND CAMP AT BASE"

Just do this with regular HTF. It's a great idea!

[iDante]

Yes a script that would make it much better. If I'm correct it wouldn't be too hard to increase the amount of hurt as the player gets farther and farther away?

This actually sounds really fun, make the map, give me a server, and I'll play.

[urraka]

Yeah, i think avarax idea can be implemented, all u need is to know the coordinates of the flag spawning position before hand, for each map. And it would be cool to try.
