Protect the Flag Carrier.

This is not a suggestion to "improve KAG beta", it's just a suggestion for a new, simple gamemode. @GreenRock suggested this in IRC.

Basically, a CTF mode where flags are reversed. Red flags at Blue base. Blue flags at Red base. Flag carriers must be protected and persevere as they take the flag to the enemy stronghold and score a point. It would probably be a shit show in a public match, but could go off very well if the players are well behaved. All it would require is creative map making!

 

Only problem is it'd be easier for one person to ruin the game for a whole team. They'd just have to grab the flag and camp.

 

Well behaved players — i.e., an organized match.

 

@Monsteri and I were discussing something like this a long time ago. We agreed it was an interesting idea but basically what it came down to was that this game mode wouldn't actually play very much differently from normal CTF except

1. Someone would always be burdened with the enemy flag
2. You would have to wait for it to respawn if you fail
3. There would be no run back for the enemy to catch you on

 

For one thing though, it might increase the map turnover speed. If getting 1 flag to the enemy base is more easily achieved than the goals of a standard CTF game it might be one way of hosting a Rapid CTF of sorts. There's probably an apetite for this given that some standard CTF games can drag on for hours.

 

1. take a map
2. replace blue and red flags
3.
4. youve got your gamemode


also Monsteri actually made a map like this but Geti didnt allow it in the default rotation :^(
