+--- Thread: [SUGGESTION] CTF/FT hybrid game mode (/showthread.php?tid=4343)
CTF/FT hybrid game mode - end user - 07-30-2013
I'd like to see a CTF and FT hybrid game mode where players can freeze each other and unfreeze while trying to capture flags.

What if whole team is frozen? :O

I did play a lot round based CTF in a game called Soldat (round starts over when either team gets wiped or when you capture), and I gotta say it works quite well.
I'd be interesting to have freezetag features implemented in this setup, question is whether to have all weaps/stack CA style or traditional pickups.

Then score points on that and the next cap wins the match ?

maybe have players thaw out after maybe 20 seconds, so the whole team doesn't get frozen?

Or if all players are frozen un freeze a random player. Or maybe if someone is carrying a flag you can only frag them and they'll respawn and could unfreeze other players if the manage to. Not sure...

Or count it like 2 captures and EVERY player in the game gets unfrozen.
Interesting idea anyway.

I created a freeze mutator a while ago which freezes players on death & gives them the option to defrost where they died after 5-10 seconds, or re-spawn normally after default re-spawn delay.
The idea was rejected by the devs and ended up on my GitHub repository for abandoned mods.

problem could be that once a team is a player or two down, they are incapable of attacking or defending and they have almost no chance, unfreezing is predictable.
a loss could be insta unfreeze for your team
flag carrier could insta unfreeze teammates for better balance
also, what about keyhunt-CTF? 3 team CTF? double domination? sniff
RE: CTF/FT hybrid game mode - Mario - 08-01-2013
Relying on teammates to unfreeze you would fail in CTF (especially if you're not one of the important teammates), everyone is too busy capturing the flag.
As for keyhunt-CTF...
