Well, i have been thinking on a new game mode, a mix between team match and the classic ctf and its something like this:

4 teams, arena map (its just an example, there should be maps for this mode, more balanced);
each team spawns in the four corners of the maps, in the spawn points there are a flags indicating to who belong that territory.
Now, there is a flag in the center of the map, maybe white, so, teams must fight to capture that flag and take it back to their spawn points to score.
Of course, the maps should be balanced for all the teams, but, basically, thats the idea of the game.
It would be fun 8D
Cya later.

There is only a flag in the center,
The team spawn point flag are just to indicate to who belong that zone, they are fixed.

So it's a cross between infiltration and CTF...I like it.

okay...

i like it.

or
u could have a HUGE map, and have 4 bases, each with its own flag, then each team would have to get each of teh flags and score, so u can hold up to 3 flags at a time
or liek 1person can hold one flag and tehy all stand in tehre flag base each with all the other teams flags and score
it would take forever bu it could b fun
and challenging

And the teams who spawn on the lower region of the map wouldn't have a disadvantage at all, right?

The idea is unexecutable in 2D.

it would b cool

Sounds cool, me likey.

I think now htf is better.

jrgp · « **Reply #9 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:20:09 pm »

different, but cool. I like it.

But it would require big maps.

DaArbalest · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2006, 05:32:40 pm »

Nice idea. It would give the map makers a challenge but it's doable.

Now we just need some1 to create a prototype map to work the scenario out.

X-Rayz · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2006, 06:54:09 pm »

I think I like it. Yeah, I do like it. Sounds cool to me!

I can already imagine playing a game of this...

Yes and no.

Random spawn points could help eliminate a certain team or two getting shafted, but then the flag placement would be tricky.

BondJamesBond · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2006, 07:57:15 pm »

Ok, this idea would work and I like it.

That also means 4 team HTF could work.,

People complain that one team may be picked on by two other teams - but isn't that just part of the game?

anyways, I'd like to see more of this kind of stuff in Soldat

That's right. They have to jet to get to the flag, but can just drop down to their base. The teams on top can drop down to get the flag, but then they have to jet back to their base. If the flag is lost, it will fall down, where the low teams can easily get it. It would be pretty balanced, I think.

Gold · « **Reply #16 on:** August 03, 2006, 04:41:52 am »

I like it honestly, but in reality its not a practical game mode you'd have to make maps like 2x bigger than usual, i say stick with CTF, INF and TDM the way they are.

Yeah all people do is getting flags, no fighting involved.

MofoNofo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2006, 07:03:27 am »

I can't see this really "picking up" in soldat. Look at HTF, barely anyone plays that, and it only came out last version. I agree with most parts of the idea.

Sotija · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2006, 07:29:11 am »

There are four teams. It's unreasonable to think that no one is going to fire at the flag carrier; it's just as unreasonable to think that no one is going to fire at pursuers. CTF is all about capturing a flag, and there's tons of fighting involved. This mode would have even more, since there's only one flag.

Yukwunhang · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2006, 03:00:11 am »

...
Can't you understand sarcasms?

The team who spawn in the lower region of the map will always have a disadvantage. They will get nade spammed, headshoted and spawnkilled. If they can't get to the flag in the first place, how would they 'drop back' to their base?

Pyroguy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2006, 09:21:28 pm »

Sounds a lot like HTF to me, but... it would be even wierder. I don't really like the idea because all the action would just be taking the flag from the middle, and other than that it would just be chasing. Doesn't sound like a great recipe for fun.

As you can see from my quote, I never said they would throw the flag back to their base. I said if another team lost the flag, it would fall down to them.

Also, the map doesn't have to be square. It can be a wide rectangle, where most of the distance to the flag is horizontal. The flag area doesn't have to be a floating island either. It can be at the top of a hill, so that jets aren't even needed. The area between the bases and the flag could be seperated, or basically apart with a few passages. That way the bottom teams aren't constantly getting bombed. I still think it could work.

Tybs · « **Reply #24 on:** August 09, 2006, 05:57:15 pm »

How about a map like this?

(Dis)advantages

Team Alpha:
- Has own route to flag, but needs more time to get there and can get nadespammed easily.

Team Bravo:
- Short but VERY dangerous route to flag (because of team Charlie).

Team Charlie:
- Short but VERY dangerous route to flag (because of team Bravo).

Team Delta:
- Has own route to flag, but needs more time to get there and can get nadespammed easily.

Of course this is a rough sketch, but people probably understand the meaning of it... with some adjustments like extra corridors and such it might just work.

X-Rayz · « **Reply #25 on:** August 09, 2006, 07:34:50 pm »

On ya, Tybs, i reckon that would work. Good idea.

But like Mofo said i think it would be like htf. The only time i ever get to play that is when gt trials someone and then we have a game of HTF.

H31MU7 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 11, 2006, 01:09:06 am »

Sounds good, But you would have to build maps that are balanced, But it would be worth it I think:D

Death MachineX350 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:44:47 am »

It sounds knd of hard from getting all the maps to look alike but it's definitely doable.

Ivarska · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2006, 11:28:32 am »

a good idea

yes from me, i like it

psyl3ntshad0w · « **Reply #29 on:** August 20, 2006, 09:38:40 pm »

tybs idea kind of works but it's still unfair in the sense that team a and d dont have to deal with b and c as much if they take their own tunnel routes...

seems like the most fair map would be all the bases in the same area and just semi-random spawns...

basically 4 team flag frenzy.

Mancer · « **Reply #30 on:** August 20, 2006, 10:10:16 pm »

I wouldnt play it. Teams would be stacked as hell, 1 team would dominate the entire time and only rarley would there be an even match.

No.

iDante · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2006, 10:29:47 pm »

Dont like it. Would be impossible to make.

I agree. There's some map out there -- Death Mountain? -- which features high and low team placement that perfectly showcases the disadvantages of having to jet to grab and having to endure an endless rain of grenades and bullets. Gravity will always give the higher team the advantage for the same reasons that high positioning on a map will give any player an advantage.

Blade · « **Reply #33 on:** August 22, 2006, 02:36:18 am »

How about the map is at the very top of the map, and all the bases are on the ground..just slightely spread out?

-Vis- · « **Reply #34 on:** August 22, 2006, 03:29:08 am »

Why not have all the bases on a level plain, with the flag a fair distance above, or below? Tweak the maps so the teams on the far left and right don't have a longer trip to the flag... I don't see a problem with that.

But like Mancer said, it'd be difficult to get a fair game with reasonably even teams.

The Bone Collector · « **Reply #35 on:** August 22, 2006, 04:40:42 am »

team deathmatch, a black flag in the middle of the map (or hidden somewhre across the map, not in the same spot every time) and every team has a white flag (like inf) in their base. fight for the flag, bring it home, and score!...
Sounds like a plan.....

Tybs · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2006, 05:00:48 am »

This should work out, i think. Teams B and C have more trouble with enemies, but can choose between two routes to take the flag back. In realistic, this would be nice.

There could also be different flag spawns, this would give something like this:

Again, it would work best with realistic mode IMO.

O.R.I.O.N. · « **Reply #37 on:** August 22, 2006, 11:25:20 am »

Not bad ideas there.

Keron Cyst · « **Reply #38 on:** August 22, 2006, 02:14:27 pm »

Those are the only good ideas, actually (where all teams spawn flat and symmetrical).

That's the problem with any game modes that use 3+ teams more complicated than TeamMatch.

Kinky noob · « **Reply #39 on:** August 22, 2006, 03:49:09 pm »

BE cool but one problem ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRY......

No matter how many people say they like it (inclueding me i would love this) it just wont work unless MM himself makes it work.....That my dear frend makes grown men cry at nite.....TearTear...
