Solution: EFC takes 500% damage J/K!!! XD!!!1

I actually like the idea of flaggers taking extra damage.

No, Please don't. It will be so much annoying for the flag carrier, think, rugger takes about 2 shots to kill a guy. So a flag carrier gets shot once with rugger, you're freakin dead.

In any case, this could NOT apply for realistic mode, for obvious reasons.

A couple things annoy about eating. Blasting the EFC accross the map with M79 and they don't die, people saying you eat when you just backflip out of their shot at the last minute (especially saw) and accusations of eating at Hexer. (*evaded*)

I think eating is a great addition to the game it adds strategy and balance.

I think you have to check the 2008's definition of strategy.

Realistic doesn't really need it.

I wouldn't mind a 10-20% increase in damage. Since its added to both teams, I think it
balance
out, doesn't it.

Long Range I don't agree that eating is cool, it really anoys me sometimes..especially when they eat like 3 nades, and I die when they hit me with 1 :S

It's not really an addition, it's a flaw. And how does it add balance again?

I think he meant the second chance adds balance. But I still don't see it...

Actually I don't mind "eating" so much. It's like you're given a second chance. Doesn't even piss me off when the enemy get's it. You guys are waaaay too tense about Soldat. chill out, it's supposed to be fun ;)

I wouldn't exactly call it a balance act, more like a little shot of happiness.

Platehead, that is something no one will ever know..If Eating in Soldat is done purposely, only of course if you use dial-up Internet.

Hell, I once in a gather, boosted the EFC forward with the drop of a nade on his head. Then the game ended 1 sec later for a tie.

What do you mean it doesn't matter? In realistic a shot could very well be lethal, especially coming from a LAW. Eating a LAW shot is totally fooling death!!

Adding more damage to the guns won't get rid of of the eat problem. The lag doesn't receive the damage at all, not half of it or, less health. When eating occurs, the eater takes no damage at all, so increasing the damage on some weapons won't help in any case.
