I was just wondering, what if the game had a Team Capture The Flag? Would anyone be interested with it?

I shall just camp the flag with a Streak or SRM boat.

CTF wouldn't really work very well in this game's current setup of no respawns. It would basically be yet another 'skirmish in disguise' mode.

And the relatively long TTK? Basically, who can run more flags before the timer runs out, because defense is going to suck if you aren't camping the base.

Yeah, the first team to capture 5 or 10 flags wins, or if the enemy dies first.

Without respawns, no. Literally just skirmish and a complete waste of developer time.

With respawns, sure.

I think there is a lot of potential for fun gamemodes like these with Solaris. It will allow for respawn gamemodes like CTF and stuff, if they want to get things other than 1v1 or 2v2s. Free for all gamemodes too would be amazing fun! If they wanted to get real crazy they could even add light mech races

@OP. I hate to be salty -- but PGI has been given many excellent suggestions for game mode and game play changes and systematically ignored them all.... Even CTF, with modifications for how this game is played was made a few years ago and .... nothing.

Sorry man.

CTF needs respawns, winning conditions either by certain amount of flags (most likely 3 so it's not drawn out) or by time. If both teams have the same number it ends in a draw.

Otherwise, absolutely interested. Was a blast running a Raven/Osiris flag runner (as much speed and electronics as possible, minimal weapon investment, high explosives) in MW4 and there wasn't much in the way of camping other than a surprise Champion over the hill. It would give the nascar runners an objective that helps the team, so everyone wins with minimal complaint.
