Reintroduce Counter Attack Mode

Post by Sgt. Mahi »

I'm sorry if this suggestion counts as an *** since it's been in game before.

As the title says I would like to see counter attack mode reintroduced. I remember reading the reasons why it was removed but I can't find the thread, nor do I remember the reasons anymore except there was something about there wasn't a map good enough for this mode since Zatar Wetlands was being removed because it was a Vanilla map (which was the DEV's call so let's not make this a "bring Zatar Wetlands back" thread)

For the people who don't know what it is:
One team defends a series of flags against an invading force. Once the invading force captures a flag it can not be recaptured by the defending force until a certain amount of time has passed. When the time has passed new vehicles will spawn (usually heavy assets) for the defending forces, simulating reinforcements. Flags can now be captured by both teams.

Reason why I would like to this mode back in game:

The game mode is a really fun mode that allows the teams to focus at one flag at the time. It takes away the doubt if a team should be defending or attack and should therefore allow more squads to work together towards one objective.

Oh! ...and if a MOD decides to close this thread could you direct me to the thread where the reasons to why this mode was removed is?

They already have this in some maps :) For example, iirc, Kozelsk [NOT KORENGAL LOL] has it, as well as Yamalia alternative.


They just got rid of the name for simplicity's sake. It really doesn't work on some maps.. so it's better this way imo.

Kozelsk :-P

But both teams can capture the flags at all time if i'm not mistaken..?

I agree that most of the maps wouldn't fit this game mode.. I could imagin that Iron Eagle would be good though..
