We need it.

Don't deny it.

You know it's true.

In your heart you know.

You do.

I made poll similar to this earlier in the week.  When/if they introduce CTF I think it should be neutral flag.  Set it up on top of the AA and watch the carnage happen.

[Necro]

I looked but i never found it can you link it_

Looked at your content and found it.

doesn't come up when you search "CPT" or "capture the flag" however

Actually,  I think an "assault" style a la halo would be best.  Both parties have to bring their flag to each others sides to score points.

[Mikeycantoon]

Hell yea, capture the flag with these kind of mechs would be awesome.  Like tribes but mechs.

Honestly, I am completely bored with Hawken right now. I'm not playing nearly as much as in alpha/closed beta, and I'd say the biggest factor is simply that there is no CTF.

Plain and simple: I can only grind DM for so long, TDM is campy at best and frustratingly unorganized at worst, Missile Assault is barely a step up from TDM, and Siege is just bleh.


Basically, CTF will save this game for me. Preferably regular CTF where each team has a flag and needs to take the enemy's back home to score. It's a proven formula that works, has both action and strategy, and would play on the game's strong points. 10 mechs bunched up in the same area all throwing explosions at each other is not something I'd consider among the game's strong points. Splitting into small groups of defenders, flag runners, and escorts, juking around terrain, mech cat and mouse, forcing engagements to cover cappers, tactical maneuvers to cut off escaping enemies, duels on cornered opponents, etc, etc... Now that is something I'd like to play.

[Coldbound]

I'm with ColdBound on this, having DM and TDM didn't make UnrealTournament, Halo, Battlefield, and CoD the same game.  These are the most basic forms of gametype, pure and simple.  Capture the flag is one that can get cheap if people get too creative.  I like the idea that it becomes a gametype.  Realistically, I don't see how the mecha are going to be able to "carry" a flag.

However, I do see collecting data cores (or some vital piece to the other team's faction) and taking that back to their respective bases to be downloaded.  However, to even download the data, your team's active datacore has to be set in the base.

[Shidoshi]

I don't know. I see capture the flag go something like this.  

Hey look there's a scout

yup, he got the flag

watch him go

oh look he just clicked in the special

watch him continue to go

point scored
......
....
..
.
hey look there's another scout

yup, he got the flag

....etc etc you all the get the point

[v009]

Get your scouts ready if there is CTF mode.

[DeathTraveler]

I would love to see a CTF game mode.  They should make the flag look like some sort of capsule,and if you get it to base you should get +500 xp and credits,along with a speed and weapon buff for about 15 secs.  Who agrees_

I like the idea of downloading it.  Another cool thing to add would be that if someone is downloading the "flag" then the team would get a buff so it won't be too easy for one side once they get the flag.  All i'm asking for is variety if this is implemented (CTF Gamemode)

[Asriel]

I like the idea of CTF, i dont care that its in other games, its in so many shooters because it s a fun play style. I think CTF forces people to think like a team, and when it does click, CTF games are really  exhilarating!

[Sethendal]

I'd love to see a Hawken version of CTF.  It doesn't have to be a Threewave CTF clone of course but I do like the idea of having an additional gameplay  mode similar to CTF for Hawken.

[oeneg]

i'm in this 100%

[RennZero]

Yes! Why not_ More gamemodes adds variety to the game, but you don't have to play them if you don't want to... I would enjoy a CTF round once in a while. That said, Siege is amazing, its pretty refreshing to play something that is new to me and I am just really loving it. If they can come up with more new, imaginative gamemodes like that... well that would be awesome!

Old thread but

OH GOD PLEASE YES.

I'm sure there would be some sort of capture experience reward, but I strongly disagree with any sort of power up.
