Additional flag layout for Mestia

Jonny · 04-01-2009, 07:38 AM

Why not put down one HUGE flag in the centre of the map, one which covers the entire map, except for the main bases? The main bases would need a dome-of-death each, a relatively large one too, but it should turn out to be more of a hunt-the-enemy map than one concentrating (like so many others) on flags. The centre flag should have a very, very small bleed on the team which lost it.

It would cease to be the case that you worry about the exact location of the flag, and get people piling into the centre of it, thus spreading them out. The map is also small enough that hunting the enemy down would not be out of the question, as there are not too many places to hide. You would not have everyone concentrating on the centre of the map, but on 'side objectives' such as entrenched enemy squads.

The way to win would be to minimise casualties while ensuring you have multiple FOs set up at all times, and destroying enemy held locations and FOs.

You would get positions that are occupied most rounds, but these would be positions that are actually defensible, and where it is feasable to dig in and fight off the enemy. As opposed to just the same old flag you have to defend no matter how suitable it actually is to make a good defence there.

A recon squad would prove useful for a change. They would actually have a purpose.

Well, that sounds a bit like CnC game mode. Which would be fine, but I actually think it would not change the map that much, since people still will be wanting to take key locations on the map - such as the Warehouse - and set FOs, just as it is now.

Wasn't/isn't there already something like this on the 16p infantry only, where there was only this huge flag called Forest in the middle of the map.

	XKCD forums, in the middle of a perfectly sane conversation: Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? Best post ever made! EG: PPSh is made of win and quite possibly stamped sheet metal
