...most of you r prolly gonna say its a rip from cs - but i thought of it while playing a completely differnet (and pointless) game.

it'd be like free the hostages (fth) in which a team is keeping some hostages keptive somewhere and the other team will have to free them by eliminating the enemy. the hostages could simply just be a bunch of bots that won't move until a 'counter-terrorist' comes in close range to them (at which point they start following you and go behind you depending on which direction ur aiming at...

But in the two dimensional world of Soldat, I think it will be a bit too easy to nail the hostage.

as good fun as it would be I'll have to say no. Why? Well we do have Infiltration and that's almost the same thing instead of hostages it's one flag... but the concept is the same.

Exactly. This is Infiltration, but with a bot or two tagging along a person instead of a flag. I don't see how that would make it any more different or fun than Infiltration.

yeah... but this adds ecxitement: u have to protect the hostage that he would get away safely!

No. The AI in Soldat is not good at following, and plus the maps would have to be designed very carefully to make sure the "hostages" wouldn't get stuck. Plus the game wouldn't make any sense except in Realistic Mode, since it would be very difficult to sneak the hostages out without being detected.

Then you would have a man riding on your back. I, personally, wouldn't like that. also, I thought flags didn't have gosteks :O

uhh...yeah...i agree that it is rather hard to code - but that's Michal's problem and if he can't do then he won't. But that's not a reason to vote 'no'...

I'm sure he meant that in terms of gameplay, which is easily true. As stated early in the thread, it'd be too easy to just shoot the hostages when they're escaping. You can't block the way or create diversions very easily in Soldat.
