The flags would return to center, there were lame pilots on a winning tean who would nuet for fun so their team wouldn't win. After several weeks of complaints, neuting was taken out.

So the option is to have the flags stay when they are neuted. The bot will announce where the neuted flags are unless that option in the bot is disabled (I think it can be, not sure)

It's another aspect to the game, which makes it more fun and challenging. I dunno why it was taken out either.

If we combine neuting with a good map, I think it'd be a lot of fun again.

When i started playing SWZ there was the G2 map with neuting. As i remember it has always been fun. When a freq neuts the flags instead of winning, i think it brings forth a better game rather than 1 freq owning and milking for a long time. Right now when one freq is better, they win and then quit or spec. If a game lasts on, teams are more likely to grow and even out in strength.

Let me guess. Everyone wants to allow tk'ing as well right? If anything neuting in the g2 base has sentimental value to you nothing more. Just like the old swz settings. They pale to the new settings.

We can have one reset of no nueting, one reset of nueting with flags where they go to center, and one reset where neuted flags stay where they are.

It would be a six week experiment but then people can have an idea of what it would be like. We would use the same map all six weeks.

Whats wrong if reccers take flags and hide them? This will make sure that flaggers start to use skills.

I think that if you are against neuting its only because right now you can easy win flaggames, but with neuts you are afraid its not that easy anymore.

Attacking NME base without anti is simply moronic and if they base hop its noones fault. We all want longer games anyway (ppl tend to leave the zone when thier frq loses).

Bot should give unowned flag coords. Reason: hiding flags is kinda lame with pub freqs cus if you hop to spec to find it can take a long time to get back on ur origional frq. We didnt make all the farking bases just so sombody can stash as flag as "insurance".

Most of the time ppl start neuting is when they win so many games in a row that vets feel like strething the game out a bit and giving the other team a "chance".

For the lamers that run around center with flags and then nuet when they are about to die thats just sad and pathetic. But hey thats what trash talking is for.

I find that the less rules a zone has regarding game play the more stratigies they have to choose from.

In regards to the centerkiller arguments, as the zone settings are now, carrying a flag is more of a liability than a boon. If flag upgrades came back, then I could see a minor problem neuting would cause in center. As it stands, flags just slow you down, so there is a distinct disadvantage to employing such tactics in center.
