This would be very similar to infiltration.

Blue vs Red (blue defending)

In the blue base there is a white flag (just like by the RED spawn in inf mode). By the red spawn there is a black flag (just like in the BLUE base in Inf mode). So essentially you have Inf with the flags switched.

A red player spawns, picks up the flag, and tries to get it to the white flag in the blue base (kinda like... current infiltration but half the trip).

If the red bearer is killed and the flag is returned, the blue team gets 10 points.

If the red bearer scores then the red team gets 30 points.

The only issue is I can't think of a good way to prevent the red team from scoring once... then just picking up the flag and waiting out the rest of the game for the win. Any ideas? comments?

I suppose another option is to give the blue team 5 points for a return... and have them get a point every now and again just for holding off the red team (about half as fast as it's awarded in Inf).

how about every 30 or so seconds that a carrior has the flag he dies and its returned giving the blue team points and putting pressure on the red team to cap quickly.

You know what your trying to turn soldat into crap

the one thing in games i hate is escort missions like on robotech its hell and other shooters its just hell and boring and you lose and you have to start over.

I like it. But I think that it is to simular to INfiltration. So no one will play it.[IMAGE]

Cool idea, but i hate escorting people. Because if the person sucks then the whole team loses. And having only one flag can be annoying. but i have stupid ideas lol, so mabye it will end up being cool. good idea

Would be a waste of time putting a game mode so similar to Inf in, unless you're gonna scrap Inf and replace it with your idea.. I wouldn't mind either way.

I thought of that Willy (I considered doing a map like that). However the blue team would not be able to win :-/. Blue gets points for the seconds timed at the black flag drop point. If you set up an INF map like my idea up here, then the blue team would never get any points :P
