I had the idea of a sort of “Capture the flag mode”
Now, it doesn’t exactly have to be a flag, per se. It can be any random object.
Like for example, Soviets vs Germany would be something like “Steal the Enigma papers” or something vague like “Steal the Sekrit Dokuments” or something like that.
Stealing the object would have a slight…maybe 2-3 second delay of picking it up, and the person who picks the objective up would not be able to use weapons (Although the rest of their squad will)
Upon the death of the “flag carrier”, the object is dropped where it sits, and has to once again be picked up by A: the attacking team to finish the capture.
or B: The defending team to put it back where it belongs. I don’t have an idea of how many captures would indicate a win, or if they should use a “mission timer” instead of the amount of captures like a football game or something, because I don’t know what the target “Game time” is that Gaijin is shooting for. Either works for me, really.
I’m not sure if Enlisted can have this kind of mode since it’s a game heavly oriented on a Front line confrontation.
Pass the frontline with the flag and you won.
Get killed while caring the flag, just use another squad member.
Need to get back the flag? Ignore everybody and try to charge with a tank.
Not if you have an attentive team and the spawns are placed a little further back.
You can do this, yes, but again it takes a moment or two to pick up the objective and with the current state of the AI squads it’s quite possible that your AI squad will be mowed down at the same time or before you would be as well.
This presents it’s own set of problems. A player in a tank trying to capture the object cant capture it unless they get out of their tank and go pick the object up.
On the other hand, if the tank is covering for someone picking the object up, that’s just good team tactics.
cool idea, here is something i would add, as an anti stalemate tool
both teams have multiple areas where the “flag” can be found- so you dont have entire teams just camping one area
each team constantly has points counting down, a captured flag instantly reduces your points by some ammount, first to reach 0 loses
I was also thinking an automatic flag reset as well.
For example, if a game bug sees the object stuck under the map, or inaccessible for some reason, or simply like you said. Either team just can’t seem to get to the object to pick it back up, after say…2-3 minutes the object resets and we’re back to square one.
Your idea combined with this one would be an excellent way to ensure the game moves along.
