F12'ed ;p In my opinion it should be able to assign any key you want to throw a flag. Including combinations. It would really improve the teamwork.

That's just fabulous when you want to throw the flag and it does behind you (fucking bug) when an ennemy is coming u_u

I highly support this, since sometimes when I throw the flag it ends up gitched.

For some reason, the flag throws perfectly offline, but turns out pretty glitched online.

Bump because of the new devs & not-too-hard-to-implement & didn't bother to post a new topic.

The keys are fine, get used to them.

Maybe just make it the middle/wheel click, or alt+space, or alt+insert, or some other mundane key combo. Not that I have anything wrong with pushing w and s at the same time, though.

The middle mouse button is for reloading

Not really needed, but there should be information about almost all keys, actions etc somewhere.
Sorry if I'm insolent.

It shouldn't be that hard to make this a one key function...Just appoint this to G, or F, or any other key, flag throwing is still a mess.

They are everything except fine!


Any move involving a fake canon ball* makes you throw the flag.
That is just horrible!

A dedicated flag throw button is the best game improvement suggestion I've seen in the whole forum.

*a Fake canon ball is a canon ball initiated by pressing crouch and jet at the same time. It is always following a jump. >(or<)+^ / v+jet

Not to mention that depending on your control layout it can be hard to press jump and crouch at the same time, while maintaining control of your soldier.

I'm not sure about the whole "separate key" part though. Personally, I think it would be great to have it as something like Ctrl + left click or something like that.
The best solution IMHO would be adding "flag throw" button to the controls menu and allowing players to assign modifier combos (like alt+key, ctrl+key, shift+key, ctrl+shift+key, etc). This way anyone can set up flag throw in a way that is the most comfortable to them.

This sounds like the most reasonable and most comfortable solution so far.

Made the flag as a weapon that u can pick every time, even carrying another gun. Do a customizable button to the Flag. Doing it you can pick the flag without a other gun in your hands. Q button switches only primary and secondary weapons and you can set the buttons 1, 2, 3 or other to hold the flag in your hands. Like a fishing rod hahaha. Sucess!

Read the earlier replies prior to suggesting something a dozen hours too late.

@Zakath: How did you make that work?

Hello.

Could you add a mean to disable the "jump+crouch" (w+s)  combination.
I don't play ctf because I always throw the flag accidentally.
If this was fixed I would play it again.

Thank you.
