CTF Fusion

Current version: b2

Fusion
A capture the flag map.
[Contest Entry]

Winter/snow environment. Bases will be industrial, within the cold theme.

Download available!

How it works:

• Returntimer: 15 seconds.
• Capturezone is your teams intelligence.
• You can't capture while your intelligence is carried.
• Touching your own intelligence while carrying the enemy intelligence will score a point, and return both flags to their bases.

Wow, sounds really interesting and original without being too messy! Looking forward to this!

[MangyCarface]

That's pretty awesome:

How do you add the extra point? A single capture zone over the entire map? I love this idea and might want to steal it

And how'd you get around the touch return obstacles?

Revolutionizing tf2, one gamemode at a time.

I think that this mode is more doomed to fail than normal, as one team will have the ability to simply turtle the living crap out of the intel.

With strategy comes turtling the living crap out of the intel.

That's the advantage of the auto cap when the flag carrier runs over the dropped flag: encourages assaulting one another.

This could be griefed so much in pub play...

I realise it's for comp, but yea. Very cool idea none the less.

Is there a delay on flag return after a capture?

I think it is the complete opposite. The flag bearers will most likely act very defensively in an effort to prevent the enemy flag bearer from gaining the point, causing them to have people on them as well for defense. The teams will most likely either split for offense, or risk dropping the flag too much to do anything. Either way, I don't see how it can possibly encourage assaulting as much as it encourages turtling, but I see it from the flip side of yours.

Yeah, pub play with this system will be difficult, but it works in so many other games so I don't think it will be impossible.

Returning intel is instant.

It's a new untested ctf variant, it could go either way.
It just takes an instant to return the intel, one false step by the carrier and the game swings back into action.
If you are afraid of splitting the team between offence defence, there is always the option of going hunting as a 6 man group and capture by bruteforce.

Also, I think running a sneaky spy will be a winning tactic, a backstab on the intel is basically a instareturn
