I have noticed that sometimes a grabbed and caped flag only add 20 points to my score and sometimes add 25. Why is this? How the game decide if a capped flag is 20 or 25 points?
Thank you.

no, it depends on how many players there are on a team... if teams arent fair, its 20 points; else its 25.

Is it in CTF too? Strange. And what does it change? Nothing (except INF).

Yeah, so It kinda' wouldnt matter, because your TEAM still got 1 point for a capped flag.

I'm afraid you're all wrong. Red team players get 20 points for a cap, blue team gets 25.

I have no clue what was in michals mind when he implemented that. If anyone knows the true reason for it please explain :O Because even with even teams, the dead set points you get for a cap is 20 for alpha and 25 for bravo. The map doesnt have anything to do with it, since generally both sides supposedly balance out eachothers difficulties.

Extacide is right. It's not about the fairness of teams. I believe that only works for Infiltration. Michal lowered the cap points to 20 per cap. However, he forgot to do so for Bravo team, which was a big no-no. :(

Yeah Red team gets 20 points and blue gets 25. It doesnt matter if teams are uneven. In INF whne teams are uneven BLue gets 1 point each 5 seconds. If teams Are fair, Then blue gets 1 point each 3 seconds i think.

its five points for each extra player on the team no matter which team while the opposing team gets 25 points (if they can score between the "omg teams!")

guys, kazuki and extacide are correct, it was simply a mistake which will be fixed in whatever bug-fix patch comes out

@a-4-year-old - I was going to insult you, but instead I'm just going to use your own quote against you. :P

Let's see how long it will take you to figure it out. ;D

i checked it also works for ctf

I don't think so. Just start a ctf match with no bots and cap, then change team and cap again. You'll see that it is 20-25.

All I tell you was for CTF only, cause I don't play INF normally.
Like other peopple here, I thought maps were more or less balanced for both teams, eventhough on CTF_Run it seems for me harder to grab a red flag than a blue one. Despite the fact that, I think there are no reason to justify this difference on CTF games. I hope it'll be fixed on next patch.
Thanks for your replies.
