I've noticed that sometimes when I play CTF games and I'll be carrying the flag back to base It vanishes! I'm not sure but usually it happens when there's an explosion or something, could it be like when you lose your hat or something? Is it supposed to happen or is it just a bug[?]

Dark Noddy- Yes I actually see the flag in my hands and it actually says "LiL_FuKa captured the Blue flag!" or whatever.

Anyways thanks for replying guys, at least now I know I'm not the only one that it happens to.

Yup, it's a straight out bug that's generally attributed to lag.

No cheats, hacks, whitchcraft, just a bug :P

And yes, it IS annoying.

2 forms of annoyance:

You have the flag. You're hanging around your base, which is swamped by enemies, but then, suddenly, you see your flag! A little blue cloth of hope on a stick! You decide to run for it, risking your very life. Just as you're about to cap the flag, and win the game, it dissappears and someone shoots you. "Red flag returned". Game over.

OR

You are on the offensive. You run into the enemy base, guns blazing, with no care for your own safety. You blow a few guys away, sweep in, grab the flag, and you're outta there! You arrive back at your base, run over your flag. But - there's no message! Then, a look of horror crosses your face as you realise that you do not have the flag. Now everyone is laughing at you because you just said "gg losers, we pwned you all! You suck!".


lol ^_^

Yes that has happened, that's exactly what happens! Also sometimes I've scored in games and it doesn't count it in my final score. It only counts my kills! So it makes me look stupid for saying "w00t! I scored twice[:p] And then, not have any flag points.

lol, yes, that no point for caps bug can be annoying too :P

I still think that the caps and the kills should be listed separately tho ^^
