CTF

[Meisnerd]

Sometime I'd like to see an actual capture the flag game where you have to capture the enemy flag and return it to your base. Unlimited respawns with an hour time limit.

Anyone else? Thoughts/suggestions?

[Tyrus (T-virus)]

Im up for it, how about we try it after training on the 26th?

[Derafear]

How about the 25th, the 26th is a Sunday and I think more people will come on Saturday.

[Derafear]

Oops my bad, ya your right, I didn't look at the dates

[caliban]

Sounds fun. I'm down with giving it a try after Infantry School!

[Tyrus (T-virus)]

yea, its my friend's (they are twins) bday. and they said they are up for it because they are a huge fan of ctaf. I think it sounds like a good idea.

Im up for any game type with unlimited respawns, Im very good at getting myself killed,

Normal capture the flag rules, as I've always seen them:

• Capture the enemy flag from their base and return it to yours
• if your flag is taken, you are unable to score until it is returned. Scoring can be prevented to either side if both flags are in the field.
• If the flag bearer is killed, the flag is dropped where he died.
• If the dropped flag is recovered by it's own team, the flag is returned immediately to their base (flag returner cannot be killed until flag is returned)
• If the dropped flag is grabbed by another enemy, they continue to try to get it to their own base to score as normal.

CTAF CTF rules:
• Flag bearer must walk
• Flag bearer cannot shoot

Sound good? If no one has any problems, then we just wait for Dave's approval This could take place in either the Trenches, Town, or Hedgerows, I think.

Sounds good, just really wish you could sprint with the flag. And is somebody gonna need to bring flags or does Dave have some?

Preventing the flag bearer from sprinting/running or shooting forces the team to coordinate/communicate and work as a team to protect a high value asset. Adds more dimension to the game rather than just grab and run.


What wasn't covered:

What happens when a team scores. Does everything reset and you go again? Does an OC just return the flag and play goes uninterrupted?

What happens in the case of a stalemate, eg: both bases are heavily defended, is there a time limit?

Does the flag have to remain in plain view when being carried? No hiding of the flag on the bearer?

Guys I'm pretty sure LT already has plans for objective skirmishes. I wouldnt plan on doing this art infantry school as LT is divining it and its going off basicly what he wants.

[parkerd13 (Shadow)]

I agree. If you are going, then enjoy the school and let LT run it. If he decided to add the CTF then awesome for y'all, it is after all a good idea. However, you are going to go his way. Make suggestions, not plans.

[parkerd13 (Shadow)]

Then of course, if you have extra time and he's down for it, go right ahead.

[Meisnerd]

This was not intended to be after the infantry school, that was T-Virus's idea, lol.

This is intended for normal day skirmish.

[parkerd13 (Shadow)]

Ah I see. Quite a few suggested it for the infantry training day so thats what I was referring to
