    I'm not sure how many of you out there are like me, but I actually like to play the objective of the game. On the other hand, there are opposites out there, who pick up the flag, and hold it, so people can't capture (And the game won't end). I find this VERY frustrating, and I know others to aswell, @SpeedBreaker. Here's an example from a game I just played today:
    2015-07-15_12.12.38.png
    So basically my idea is to add a timer for the player holding the flag, so they have a certain amount of time (30 sec? 45 sec?) before they drop the flag, so that people who actually want to play the game, can do so.

    What'll help too is not placing the flag far away that it's impossible to get too.
    Like, most of these maps have flags where it's impossible to protect. Moving the flag would make it more easier to protect and cause people to not camp in a in-closed room... :l

    The people who want to get double or triples will hold the flag so others can't end the game for them. This is why me and @Snail_5_ said there should be a 30-60 second flag hold limit (depends on map size and flag location)

    Just realized that DTF could stand for Destroy the Flag too, maybe there could be a banner with a amount of health that should be destroyd.
    Not sure how to spell destroyd :/

    They could still camp at the flag and pick it up each time they drop it. So I came up with an alternative.
    When you capture the flag (it would be nice if those get changed to banners), your primary weapon gets replaced with the flag. If you want to get your primary back you have to drop the flag (with 'q'). When the flag gets dropped in this way it will stay on the ground for 3-5 seconds, so the flag holder is still able to kill someone with his primary, if needed, on their way to capture the flag. If someone dies with the flag it will automatically respawn. Besides that will the flag respawn after a player holds it for more than 1 minute (your idea). This will (most likely) prevent players from holding the flag for the whole game to get more nukes.
    Hope you like it :wink:

    Not a bad idea, but 45 seconds is definitely not long enough, and you should still be able to pick it up, shoot a bit, run more, then stop and shoot and then capture it. Maybe like 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes will be good. Anyway, I'm voting For.

    Then they drop the flag, and it returns to the fence post.

    Sadly, it isn't the original edr.

    I like the idea, Snail.

    Some maps take more time to cross, especially when you are under enemy fire or have to be careful. In maps like Favela, you will need a lot more time to capture the flag.
    I do like the idea, but there is another option: raise the prize for capturing the flag to make it worth going for.

    Hmm... Yeah, a good choice is also a reward. Maybe, the reward for capturing a flag should be introduced first and then, if such trolling will still exist, the timer will be introduced?

    ^^^ raise the prize for capturing the flag to make it worth going for. ^^^

    I definitely agree with raising the prize.
