Points for caps...

Well I do believe this has back fired. I thought "yay! now i can cap for points!" The only problem is the line at the flag...
So much for team work. everyone is so flag oriented, nothing gets done now. no one on D, and no one helping. I think Points should be received for winning. The only problem with that is stacked teams... that would just be ugly. I'm not sure what to do but something needs to happen. But then again I'm not going for top 5 so it really doesnt concern me that much. I'm just annoyed by skillless cappers getting high points...(excluding Rocketfly, that guys good)
Anyway just bringing it up for the masses to think about.

The teams really cant get stacked, the teams are self balancing as people connect.

Of course if people are trying to stack teams we will force them onto the other team in order to keep things fair.

wow

Some people complain about players who deathmatch with no regard for the flag.

Now you are complaining because too many players are playing for the flag (the way the game is supposed to be played)

I don't get it...

I'd rather see it this way than people playing conservative.

I agree if all push to cap flag your team is more likely to win.I get so frustrated clearing a cap over and over

I also understand what snay is saying on certain maps a set defense is needed.2fort is a prime example a sg and a hw/soldier in ramp room is key to winning.Even if sg is killed hw/soldier should buy enough time for engi to rebuild.

Yes the name of the game is cap the flag but WHY am I still seeing deathmatch with alot of the people. Way to few regulars way to many foos that suck up on my HWG spot and then SUCK at it. I have noticed when your HWGs suck the big one your team never advances. But if they do they go much slower then it does with some bad ass HWGs

Cstone first off I was merely making an observation and trying to figure out better ways to deal with it. It's tough playing on the ville. In one corner you have trustworthy regulars that will always have your back. In the other, a whole bunch of newbies that stand in your way till you die... You try and play well but when your team sux, and someone takes advantage and caps the whole game, where's the skill in that? It's dumb. I went on a capping spree a couple of games and felt dirty after it. I felt like I hadn't really played... Thats just my 2 cents. I just say enjoy the game.

I'm still confused. What's so wrong with capturing the flag??

I can understand if your entire team is going after the flag, leaving only you on defense, and the enemy is winning. But other than that, GJ to your team, they're winning.

Remember the game is CTF, which means your team will usually be split up into 3 factions. Offense. Defense. Deathmatchers. You want a good balance between the first two, and none of the last one.

At least thats how I play, and the way I wish my team would play. To each his own though.

I think what he's getting at is the problems that arise when there are too many people who only cap the flag and don't help their team out when asked. And they'll stand in front of SGs and HW Guys and anyone else that has the firepower to kill them selves quickly thanks to Mirror Damage, just so they can get a better shot. I encountered a medic last night that fell into the category of cap monkey, capped the flag because it was fast to be a medic. He refused to stay and heal his team back at the base, where the other team's 2 (sometimes 3) medics were running rampant, infecting everyone, most of whom were n00bs who then went and infected the respawn....
