Seriously! How has no one thought of this yet?! We need an aerial capture the flag mode! A "flag" can be spawned somewhere random on the map and teams must fight to capture it. Then, they must fly to the opposite teams base (or their original base, depending on how Z would prefer) and land in order to "capture" it.

Seriously. It'd be perfect. There is combat, two teams and it'd REALLY increase a team's co-operation (as everyone would have to defend the person with the flag).

What do you guys think?

Looks like FOOTTTTBBAAALLLL!!!!!! LOL Sounds great!!!! if I'm able to play Dogfight game soon

So the flag would be aerial? Hmm... What if the flag was a computer controlled plane, with guns, bobms, etc. You could either run into it, or shoot it down. (either a very skilled AI system, or u need lots of kills on it). Or, maybe one player would be randomly selected, and HE was the flag? You could either give him a fancy new plane that could outfight everything, or, just make it so u need lots of kills?

I love the idea slender!

Or make it "rescue downed flier". You need to do a touch and go landing at the downed pilot spot which appears during game (or could be a walking soldier that has to run to plane) which marks you as carrying him and then need to return to your base or carrier....

Eh, thatd be too quick tho. A fast plane could find him very fast. There couldnt be anything on the map showing where they are, of course, or itd be too easy.

We should also have it for soldier. On bridge the flag is on other team base.

Yes, aerial. The carrying player (as seen in most CTF formats) wouldn't have weapons so his team would protect him. If he/she were shot down, the flag would remain in the exact place of death in the air where it could be stolen by either team.


Or as Seatle said. We could have a "Rescue/Capture the POW" game mode. If the carrying player were shot down, the POW could turn into a "parachuting soldier" and teams would have to try to rescue/capture him before he hit the ground. If he hit the ground -- his position resets.


There's so many places this could be taken.

hmmm... idk about the stationary target. seems like a player in a fast plane would have too much advantage. either way, it'd be an awesome game!

hmmm... with the POW game, what if it were one team capturing, one defending? The soldier could start in the middle of the map, and he'd start running toward one team's base (the defending team), and they'd have to defend the walker from enemy planes, while they try to get him in the plane. how would the plane pick him up tho? currently if u hit a walker, u crash. (the walker survives.) what would happen if the walker were killed?

lol, theyre great ideas! just need some more development.

The area would be smaller and blue base is on one side of the bridge and red on the other side.

hmmm... thing is, the bridge is so small! it'd be hard to get thru, considering how you SINK if you take a soldier on it!

Lol. I always thought of the carrier game as that. But that's sounds realy cool

Yeah, but I don't like capture the carrier! This involves combat as the core idea, fighting to taka flag, whereas CTC is sitting. I can do that in a real airplane, just for $200 extra.

It could be like an insignia somewhere at the enemy base. And you landed, got out of your plane, picked up the insignia somehow and put it in your plane and fly off! you have to try to get back to your base without getting shot down And if you do, you parachute with it, and if u get shot in parachute. The one that shots you, automatically gets the insignia thing What do y'all think?

...If that's your argument against that aspect -- isn't it completely unfair that there are different classes of planes and attributes? That's the point of getting new planes. To upgrade.

But...isn't that a LOT like the Zep-Missions?


I agree with everyone on the bridge being too small. I would say "What about a game mode with soldiers/tanks exclusively?" however, I know there'd be someone who'd rage/scrutinize over the fact that there's no aerial play and "how Dogfight was better when there was just planes", etc etc etc.

Whoaaaa! That actually is a fantastic idea! I think having players get out of their planes and run towards/pick up the flag on foot would REALLY add a huge soldier VS soldier aspect in the game! Imagine trying to land the fastest, jumping out, dashing towards the flag while shooting/dodging bullets from the enemy and finally having to escape! Sounds amazing!

Your right. Completely disregard that stuff. If you knew where it were, tho, themfastest plane would easily win. Idk, im no expert!

That's true, but look at a good ol' game of Hangars. Everyone (despite speed) gets there about the same time. I don't think speed REALLY affects anything in the game besides turning speed.

Hmm... Theres a slight difference, i know that. Ive flown behind faster pilots before, and it was easy to fall behind. Sniping from behind is fun lol!

We should have a fox and the hound game.
It is a free for all were there is a npc parishter and all the pilots go and try to catch him while he is falling frome the sky. The gole is to get him and hold on to him for a time of 5 minutes befor you win. When you catch him the time on your clock start to go down. When you get shot down you lose him and he starts falling frome the sky again and some one has to catch him again. Your time you had him is saved so you do not have to hold him for 5 minuts with out going down. Every one gets there guns in this one so they can defend them selfs frome attackers. You should get 1 point for every second you have the parishutest.

There is this PSP game "Ace Combat" that has the multiplayer game capture the flag. The "flag" is a blue or red beacon that is at other players base and when you capture it, you fly at a little slower speed than usual and you don't have the option for special missiles and stuff so enemy can shoot you down easier. When you get shot down anyone on your team can recapture it. I think it be cool if we could have the same concept put into a dogfight game.
This way faster planes wouldn't have that much of an advantage.

YES! I got the idea from both the PSP version of Ace Combat and from Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron's CTF modes on PSP.

They were always EVERYONES favorite servers to play.

I am sure that zup can make bridge bigger put some hiding places and make sure u dont sink.

If soldier would have to get out of plane to capture the flag then they would be a really easy target for enemy. Wouldnt work very well. I like greens I dea u kill them flag stays there in air and then u go through it or u automatically get the flag when u get the kill.

Heh, that's what I already said in one of my earlier posts.

I like the ace combat idea. Btw, guided missles are for wimps! Real aces can blow the crap outa stuff with lumps of white hot lead!

I'm glad you like my idea, Slenderman. Do you think zuperman will like it?

I guess we'll see!

Capture the flag sounds like a great idea!

I agree, capture the flag dogfight style is a very ornate idea.

See you guys in the azure skies;)

I agree... great idea.

I am also aggree with the aerial capture the flag, it sounds like it would be very fun and interesting!
