points and defending?

[maarit]

just question.
do you get points when you defend the flag?
is it same amount when attacking flag?
and is it possible to add that you get points if you defend outpost?
just give more points to the defenders than attackers maybe this would lure people to defend more.

and this is why cos i played yesterday yamalia and it was just tennis.when orangeflag is shown at the map,everybody just runs there and leaves that flag what they just captured.
then enemy takes flag and everybody runs back.
and when this kind of situtiation happened 4 times,its just funny.

You get a lot more points if you kill while being on a flag and if you're near your squad. Not 100% sure but I think its like that.

Maybe someone can confirm it?

I would believe you get defense points, but does it really matter?

if giving more points to the defencing squads that attacking squads would prevent stupid tenniseffect that the whole team runs chasing the orange attackmark,it would matter.

IIRC when you kill some one in radius of your own flag, your spawn times goes down. if true, (might just be trippin balls) if more people was aware then more incentive to defend

I doubt that points will change this mentality in some great way.

Who plays for points anyway?

[maarit]

If more points are awarded then both teams will camp their flags and get points and no one will attack

yeah,that my point actually.
cos i know that there is players who dont give a dam about points...so they attack.

[Startrekern]

It's definitely possible to give points to defenders. vBF2 gave a visible message, in fact: "You defended flag!"

[illidur]

who cares about points though?

who cares about points though?

yeah,maybe you are right.
nobody cares about points.
