I've got 2 small ideas:

1st: I think when the Flag Carrier gets disconnected or just exit the game the Flag shouldn't be returned to the enemy's base. Instead of that it should just get dropped in the area where the FC was before gettin disconnected.

2nd: I think we should be able to give the flag away to our m8. Imagine a clan like.. ProSoldat (made up) with 3 players called A B and C. Player B is really secure and more confident when some enemy appears to return the flag and that makes him a better Flag Carrier than his m8s. On the other hand, players A and C have more skills than B player to return the flag. My point is: imagine A player captures the enemy flag. He should be able to press a button and drop the flag to B player ( use SpaceBar for example, big button easy to press i guess ) instead of typing /kill.

ps - I couldn't make a Forum Search cuz i'm dowloading and uploading atm, so this is really slow. Sorry.

Unfortunatly both ideas have been suggested before, but they're still good ideas. It'd be very handy to pass someone the flag without having to kill yourself in the process. Then you could have some pretty nice throws going on.

I like both ideas, but for the second one I think I would prefer it to be a command, /dropflag or something. Whenever I feel the need to get rid of the flag it's usually when I'm already secure, and I just want to go return our own flag.

yeah. i agree there should be a command...
perhaps /dp?
it needs to be quick to type in...

Why /dp?

If there's a throw-flag button implemented, we could do an unofficial game-mode ala Tribes 2, where you can throw the flag through various hoops and rings to "score" points for style.

Ahh, that was fun. Good times, good times...

lol Lapis

yeah i like these ideas, although i remember the 1st one being suggested before. why hasnt it been implemented?

/dp = drop flag.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have /df? Drop Flag. Unless you plan on spelling it Phlag.

I think it would be much more fun to have a specific button to throw the flag instead of a command so that you could chuck it at your teammates if you were about to die.

well, if the flag could be dropped to anyone, across the map, that would really suck for the opponent.
Imagine, if you will: Flagger runs to other base killing almost everyone, when he sees hes about to be shot, he just types /df, and they kill the flagger..accomplishing nothing big. That would piss me off, i know that :D

Rofl Captain, you so got owned on that one! Gj swazo.

I'm in for both of these, but drop flag shouldn't be a /command imo, but a simple default button like chat.

Phlag...like, Uber lag. haha

On Topic: Not a really needed feature, but might be pretty useful.

Well something like that already happens with the flag settings we have now. Say for instance you're playing CTF on B2B and your flag has been stolen and you and your remaining teammates race after him to return it. As the enemy flagger is running over a bridge you guys manage to kill him, causing the flag to drop through the bridge. Then one of your opponents was going down that lower route and sees his opportunity and he grabs the flag and runs like hell.

These are the ideas ppl should remind. And not useless ones. :|
But instead of a comand a key would be better.
Both very good ideas.

if there are like ten of you. then you could justkeep passing off the flag but tha would be fun ^_^

sound good

And be careful don't miss the passing and throw it to your enemy^^"

If it is a button, it has to be useful for other gametypes too, then again, it doesn't but really...
The second one is a nice idea, the first one could be less helpful than more on some servers, I think it should go to a random Team Mate, further from base then colser

Yeah, we could just bind it. Cos if you have a weak connection (Wireless sucks) you will keep getting disconnected. Even worse in asia/malaysia/kl/megamall

shut up about the /dp.
i was drunk and sensless...
what i meant was /df, as they're so close together.
oh, and [IMAGE] you judge man!

I as well think both ideas should be implemented ;-)
