Muttrah - MEC able to capture North Suburbs despite USMC capturing North City bug

[Arab]

Server: =HOG=
Mode: AAS 100 player
Faction I was playing: USMC
Situation: We all captured Docks, North Suburbs and were defending North City when some MEC were able to capture North Suburbs.

Then after that flag was captured, the MEC team cleared North City and then we were defending docks.

Not sure if it's AASv4 mode, some other mode or is a bug, but North Suburbs didn't show any shield icon on it.

If the enemy starts to capture a flag and you capture their flag, even though that flag is out of play, they can still capture it even though they shouldn't be able to. It only works if they started to neutralize it. I've seen this happen for a couple of years.

Both flags have an orange marker for MEC in this case and i think it's intended that way.
So the bug would just be the missing defense marker for US.
I think i've seen more examples of marker not showing up correctly when there are more than two flags inplay but i cant recall exactly where at the moment... i think some layer of Khamisiyah had this as well.

I don't think this is the case. We already had that flag since I connected, and both flags were under USMC control until 2 people or so captured our before flag. Strange.

Lol at this thread.

Gentlemen, the PR flag behaviour is not a bug.

Kthxbai.
