Skill Points For Capping

I think that capping the flag in Crossover2, Badlands, Acropolis2 and any other CTF map should get skill points for. Hopefully this might encourage more team play.

I think he's right. I don't usually play on the offensive, although if my team has a pitiful offensive i'll switch to offense. Sometimes i go on suicide runs to cap the flag, and even if i have 3 or 4 caps i will lose skill points instead of gaining.

LBC I disagree for one reason: People that connect when nobody's there. If skill was awarded for capping, then people could join when the servers are empty and just keep capping and getting cheap easy skill points.

Actually I think there's something in place that says that unless they're 2 other people on server, nothing counts
Could be wrong but I seem to remember reading that

I definitly think there should be some skill award for capping the flag; otherwise, why even try? Everyone could just go engie, build an sg, and hide in their own respawn. As for people capping when no one else is in the server, that is about as fun as sticking yourself in the eye with a shapened pencil. If they're that desperate to raise their skill, let them have the damn points. Besides, how often are TV's servers empty anyway?

I agree that you should get some skill for that, but only if there are at least 4 players on each team, otherwise it's really easy to do. Killing SG's must be added, because so many people get sg kills and see nothing of it in stats.

I agree with 4 people playing then it should count to cap the flags.I kill so many sg's id love to see that count for something but if it cant thats fine 2

Indeed, when I play medic, it's one of my mission goals (behind hitting everyone in sight with the medkit). I would love to see a seperate category for SG kills.

An Sg kill category would be great, gets my vote.

HLStats doesn't recognize SG kills.. It's a bug.

yeah. someone needs to program a new stats program (how redundant). It'd make a great challenge for you programmers out there (God knows I can barely write in C).
