Just thought it'd be a fun idea. Basically it's team match, but CTF style with a red, blue, green and yellow flag.

Four bases for each team, and just like if you've ever been in a CTF server with a guy on Delta or Charlie, one person can carry multiple flags. I think this would be a great new game type, as it'd be havoc on a wide scale. One team has three targets they can go for instead of just one, so it also adds variety and would give map-makers a challenge to come up with good maps for the type.

Thoughts?

YES! I've always wanted a green flag! YES YES YES! This would have the coolest gameplay ever!

Plus it'd be a great challenge for mapmakers.

Edited cause I'm grammar retard

Hell yes! Only few map would be good enouhg to give equal chances to all the teams, but we have awesome mapmakers, don't we? ;)

So this would be fun. I wonder how it would look like...

Yup, i think its a good idea. and it would be a great challenge for map makers coming up with a high quality map instead of some crappy 10 minute one. *thumbs up*

ME LOVES IT
but there is always the problem with the huge lack of people in teammatch, like 1-2 people on most teams than 4 on the winning team

Yeah, that's why you play on servers like Leo's where people change teams willingly when the teams become unbalanced.

I actually thought about this idea once. I'm seeing some problems in the map layouts though. Considering the fact that Soldat is 2D so, 2 teams are going to have a hieght advantage against the two teams that spanw low. Unless the maps were really big, like ctf_Run size, but only more in a Square shaped map, instead of just long.

Also, teams that are closest to each other would mainly go after that flag. And how someone else mentioned before, it'd be hard to get enough people to play. Even if there are 2 players on each team. It's still not quite that actionpacked. It's a good idea, but I don't see it coming into play, unless it'd be easier to switch between a Team Match CTF game after a regular CTF map finished (which is an idea that i'm going to suggest here shortly).

These problems can be fixed xeno, by this simple drawing!:

Not bad at all.

Map concepts would still be bad. Zamorak's drawings are still poor in representation; in the top pic., Bravo and Delta would crush Charlie and Alpha, who would always have to resort to defending (even if B & D simply resorted to ignoring them and killing each other, as grenades and other projectiles would fly downward). The bottom pic. is just two pairs of CTF teams going at it, as heading for the other two farther away is unreasonable considering the distance.

Dynamic flag & team spawns which occasionally rotate around a diamond-shaped level would be the most efficient construct.

That's why the map makers would enjoy making the maps. They'd be kinda like Kampf. Because of height advantages, bases would have to be different in layout.

It seems cool. I would like to try it ;) .

Heh, It's always fun to start your own server and when theres a lot of people on switch a couple guys to delta and you can run around with both flags. It would change everything if we could actually score, :D

It will be kinda difficult, but still fun.

It would be really hard in my opinion. Now not only will you have to chase down an enemy flagger, but you have to know which team stole it! :D And just think about 4-way stalemates, where everyone has eachother's flag <.< heh. Funny idea though, in retrospect.

It would be fun, the matches would become messy as hell!

I think a important thing would to balance the maps so all the routes to the other teams are equally difficult to travel....

youd had to keep an eye out for several EFC and FFCS, you can gun down a enemy EFC that dosent have your flag and take it instead.... :D

I LOVE IT!!

Sounds great ^^. Im sure there are some map makers around who are capable of creating a good map for this.

Now that would be cool.
That is the perfect way to do it like everytime your team caps your base changes!
