Gamemode Idea.

[nick20404]

Was thinking of a new Idea for the ol capture the flag type game mode. Instead sitting around capping an invisible flag even if you are not in the compound you can just stand outside and capture it, pretty unrealistic.

All flags should have defenses IE buildable bases, guns, wire, pillboxs. and instead of standing around caping doing nothing you need to build the base and once it is built it belongs to your team. This would make games go on longer and make the action way more intense instead of just strolling into a compound you would be attacking a stronghold, People would actually defend places instead of running off to the next flag with no defenders left behind. The firebase would be the main objective and would be defended once that is destroyed the flag would return to neutral.

The more of the base that is destroyed the more the flag goes down once the whole base is destroyed or the firebase it goes to neutral. and like the current game mode once another flag has been taken the one behind it goes un-capable. It would also make protecting bases on large open maps vital as a plane could drop a bomb on your fb so the enemy could rush in and take the base back.

there are loopholes i see in your thing. it would be nice (i think) if it was actually made, but please don't say "this will make the games go on longer" because if u notice, most of the rounds end in the three hour zone i play. and plus, if your team decides to not build defenses and have a team to protect the base it should be easy prey to the other team.
:loophole:
if u destroy part of the base and rebuild it as your own teams, it could have some pretty weird outcomes because both sides would control it and would probably cause the bf2 engine to fail and make everyone CTD

Well that is just assuming both teams are playing good usaully its one sided so one team will win just as fast as normal if no one is defending. Exactly like you said if no one defends it will get taken easily even if they built defenses if it were empty they could just get in by a rope over the wall etc. and they would already have there defenses built for them!

I wish all games wen't on for 3 hours it would be allot better to see more games go on to be close instead of the usual 250-0 at the end of the round.
