Capping is not for noobs.

[Clawbug]

and on R/S Capping is all ways noobish.(unless u double score )

I think YOU are noobish. I have never got explanation WHY it would be noobish? Wtf, it is CTF, not a damn TDM. ;(

[Noobinabox]

I think even on a 1v1 game, capping isn't for noobs. The tactics just change to how fast you can get the other guy's flag and if you both get each other's flag, then it's a fight to return yours and score before the other respawns.

learn to protect your flag, it adds more tactical depth to the game.



No, capping is of course appreciated in Hexer, that's why the EP and combobonus for it do even exist, to make it more attracting. I guess I have to be a bit harsher regarding retard bans.

Awesome, because I can give you names of people and what they do from now on.

CTF = Capture The flag

The Gamemode title say the game objective.

[LtKillroy]

I agree with Sotija. The point of the game is to cap, go play DM if you don't want to. Would you not make touchdowns in a football game just so you could get more tackles? Same general principles apply. And on Hexer, capping is really important becuase it ups your bonus.

[adadqgg]

capping is not for noob, atleast not in hexer modded servers, b/c they even have skills to make it easier(sprint+mana shield).

[who flung poo]

capping to me is only noobish in smaller games, when it is done in R/S games, or when your bragging about it.
any other time though is ok

Its noobish because you are running away from a challange

[mxyzptlk]

Matt, the point of CTF is to "capture the flag."
Not "make the game longer than it has to be so other people can have more fun."

Doublescore is noobish as it is. People shun those who intentionally doublescore. However, if you struggled to capture and return a flag, you shouldn't be considered a noob for that, because you are doing the point of the game.

In CS, in defuse the bomb mode, how would you feel if someone made it to the bomb, but waited to the last second to defuse it? You would probably dislike them. This is no different.

the challenge mister matt consists of getting to the flag and for the other team it is to defend their flag or eventually stop an escaping FC. Set up a TM R/S server if you want killkillkill challenges.

[mozzer]

The flags are there to be "Capped." How the hell do u think {EF} won sctfl? By killing?...

[Spec. Ops]

If i clear top i usually get the flag and if i clear low i usually just cap it. So its rly about the players your playing against that are to lazy to play the game using all the ways to win. If you hate it so much play a TDM server with ctf maps.

[Cappy]

Double-capping is not noobish, its good in my opinion. It can help alot in situations where you're down 1 with a few seconds to go. You kill all their enemies and the game is tied, then go cap and you get the victory.

Yes I agree that the point of CTF is to Capture the Flag, and yes I agree that the challenge is to get the flag and stop the EFC, But think about it, isint it more challenging to kill all the enemy players then cap then just cap and I wouldint set up a TDM R/S because there are more then two teams and it is funner to double cap.

[mxyzptlk]

If it is that easy for you to kill the entire other team, then I have a suggestion for you: Gathers.

For the rest of us, we will cap when we have the chance.

You shouldn't be able to get 2 points in 1 round. I consider it bug abuse. It's just that the only real way to prevent it would be to kill everyone as soon as only one team is left, but that would be really weird, dying at the same time as your enemy gets killed.

isint it more challenging to kill all the enemy players

It's also more challenging to take on the opposition with a chainsaw, but you're not gonna do that in a CW.

[Xxypher]

I also hate how people say capping doesn't take any skill at all.

I wonder what noob said that,
everything in soldat takes skill, well maybe not everything, but most of stuff.
shooting aiming dodging, caping, killing
