Rabbit mode in Battle Armor from Tribes 2.

For those that don't know what that is.

Capture the flag, the person who has the flag gets points as long as he carrys it.  Everyone else is trying to kill him to get the flag for themselves.

Wouldn't work too well with Battlearmor in MWLL, I think. The guy with the flag would just get blasted with missiles when he lands, since you can't ski in MWLL.

Now, if everyone was in Noisy Cricket Sparrowhawks and the flag bounced into the air when dropped...

When will full game/demo/beta be released?
         We're planning a beta release in the next *very* few weeks. At this time, we can't be more specific. Please stop asking.

No, I will not stop asking.

now that i think about it, a CTF mode could be pretty cool. the maps would have to be very different, and it could really shake the game up.

CTF would be great for Harassers. The only thing is whether it's done like most CTF gametypes or more like a Carry the Flag gametype, where dropping your own flag means you have to manually return it to base instead of just touching it to send it back.

In Unreal Tournament, for example, the default is the touch-teleport mechanic, but with the Carry the Flag mod, you not only have to bring the enemy flag all the way home, but you have to bring your own back to base if it's taken as well. However, this also means you can cap mid-field AND you can deliberately take your flag away from base and into the field to cap away from home to intercept a friendly flagrunner, but that of course is a big risk if the enemy gets you and takes your flag. It's a total blast in UT; I can only imagine how crazy it would be in MWLL.

Would absolutely require special maps, though, to prevent someone in a Heph from driving off into the sunset on Mirage, never to be seen with the flag again.

A simply solution I think to prevent such a thing would be to put an indicator for all to see on the flag carrier if they hold onto it for more than a set period of time.

It would be funny if only a BA and/or a passenger in a BA transport could hold the flag and all the other assets had to defend him in conjunction with whatever else the game mode entails.

The game already has "take assets to mid field, return assets to base" game play. I'd rather see "get asset at mid field, take asset to enemy base" game play. Escorting a suicidally c8 ladden apc or some such nonsense.

Capture the flag would be great with one reservation:

No repairs.

In fact I think most game modes would be better with no repairs.

What realistic in-universe thing could represent the 'flag' anyway. I'd rather have it somewhat grounded in battletech lore.

Yeah forget BA's i want to carry the flag as a mech haha though you'd have to design new maps but the current inferno(if it hasent changed since i last played it) would be great for CTF.
