    I am getting tired of people raging all the time, and people only going for nukes on ctf, then getting mad at the people playing the game the way it was intended to be played.

    Today I have some ideas for ctf that will change how we play and make less people rage.

    Idea 1: Removing Nukes from CTF
    One of the reasons people arent playing the objective in ctf is that a nuke is considered better, removing it would also remove the tryhards always looking for ctf to play.

    Idea 2: Giving a better reward for capturing the flag
    If we give a really good reward for capturing the flag, people will no longer go for the kills all the time.
    My sugestion for a really good flag cap reward is to give 1. Give a huge amount of xp and 2. Give a huge amount of credits. Such as 1000 xp and 500 credits. This way people will go for the flag

    Idea 3: Flag recap Bonus
    We always need flag "campers" for ctf, but nobody is willing to do that!
    So if you get a kill inside the base (near the flag) you get 3x what you would normally get, and if you kill a flag carrier you will be given 500xp and 100credits.

    Idea 4: Cap and Recap Leaderboards
    This way, people who often capture the flag will be rewarded! My idea is that there is a flag cap and flag recap leaderboard for flag guarders and runners!

    Thanks for Reading and considering my ideas on CTF! :smile:

    Alright, I'll give my opinions.
    Nukes in CTF
    Although they prevent players from playing the objective, they also help. For instance, remember those times on favela when the blues were camping their flag? I couldn't get to them. When you launched a nuke, they died, which let me capture the flag. There's that issue.
    AKA there needs to be a different streak for assisting in flag capture
    Larger reward for flag
    There are always issues with players farming in CTF to get the flag. You could easily illegally boost this way.
    Flag defend radius
    I like this, no opposition here.
    Leaderboards
    Seeing as flag captures aren't currently tracked, everyone would start at 0. In a server like War which has a small emphasis on the flag and more emphasis on killing people, this wouldn't be very effective.

    Flag reward should be tripled in terms of credits and upped times 4 in terms of exo you get. I think there should be a special reward for capturing a flag. A perk for a single round, as an example.

    +1 **** it.Let's all just agree: some of these idea are goddamn good.

    But still, I have to give feedback. am I right?

    Idea 1.
    This idea will make many people angry. If people can't nuke in ctf we will have a lot more problems than the problems we are discussing now .-.

    Idea 2.
    Not so bad of an idea. the total amount of xp you get is like 100 xp? thought that it was a little more but I am not sure. It would be a great idea because people who want higher levels can use it. but if you want to get in the leaderboards (many people want that), this won't help as it only goes for kills.

    Still a good idea.

    Idea 3.
    Same as for idea 2.

    Also a good idea.

    Idea 4.
    This idea is really good. this will make capping the flag more like it is important. Especialy if this will also be shown on the leaderboards, than it will work out.

    +1 but, 500 credits is way too much, like a new player with lvl 3 can get so much EXP and credits, just for capturing.

    Now think of all the people guarding the flag getting the xp and creds for that

    Another issue: Even without nukes people may just play for kills.

    They can't capture if they are level 3 :V
    They can't make it halfway across the map without sneaking about

    I'm going to be frank: Do you really think they have time to add all these ideas ? They are redoing the plugin from scratch meaning that this idea if ever added will be not in the immediate. Thus this kind of thing going on in the CTF game mode is going to go on for a while...

    However, these two require almost no new code whatsoever. You could just edit the current code for these two.
