I have nothing to say except for some players who goes for the heart when their health is at full stake. It's kinda annoying when other team member have to die because of this habit. Especially when over 10 zombies growling behind you.
The heart does not provide a speed boost. The icon that looks like a boot (at least what they look like to me) at the spawn points in CTF are the only things that give you a speed boost.Originally Posted by Dru houston:801368
Taking a heart when your HP is full and a comrade is approaching it with less HP,that is what makes some people mad. When you hurt your own team more than help it by making your teammates vulnerable to easy picking.

I only speak in general, what i dont like is when teammates do so well for self benefits and not aware if it pushes the team to victory or drags the team down to lose flags and lose the whole match. You could say they are farming for record which i dont mind as long as its gaining us the flag caps.
Some ppl hide behind me when I try to go out from enemy's base with flag and enemy is rushing here. I cannot figure out the effectivity :/
I dont think very many players actually observe their team mates's health at the top left of the screen. a lot of heart issues and squabbles can be negated if you observe team health meter. so if ur team mate needs heart more than u, let it go and so on. speed boost gives you a speed boost and upon seeing another speed boost people take it again. Not necessary. would u rather fight with 2 people on speed boosts or 1 boost and one normal. it all comes down to penetrating defence and i think if u let ur partner behind u get the boost, both of u could race into the enemy defence and cause some mayhem. 2 people on speed boosts can finish off the defence and spawn attack the defender too. if its coordinated well. but i dont see anyone using this. Once the gate is open. its unfortunately go go go
I am guilty of doing this.. The sole reason why I do it is so that I can wait for their defenders to exhaust their skills without getting my blood drained by their vermin swarm. timing is everything.. i can then come in with my rats+leap and go catch the flag and try to carry it myself with heaps of blood left to get a good distance in.
You might say 'screw you, you selfish c***!' Hear me out..
If i go and try to 'protect' you by fending off enemies from one or both sides, you would still, 75% of the time, get hit by rats while carrying the goods so that's not helping the team at all for not only will I be sacrificing my good % of health left, I'm bein ineffective as well.
Not everything is what it seems.

Yeah I could see someone getting some heat for this tactic, cause the flag carrier becomes the bait, and will not only take the damage, but also will exhaust their magic to defend themselves while his/her team member is behind them to pounce on whats left of attacking players health ... that team member most likely will finish off the players that are attacking flag carrier, and get credit for some kills while the flag carrier just gets a death.
I think the more noble thing to do, is to have one member go outside of base first and hold that intersection as long as possible prior to other team member grabbing flag ... so that when other team member goes through with flag, the opposing attack team has no magic to use on them. It takes practice and coordination, but at least the flag carrier doesnt feel like they are bait.
I know if I get flag, and my member is trailing me, I will sometimes just wait for them to go in front of me.
I just feel like i should say something.
This tactic is not for the carrier to feel like bait and it's most certainly not for kill farming.
I know you have been in a situation where most of your teammates are too busy playing with the windows and repleneshing their blood... you get to enemy base with one your teammate, who actually tries to win the match, with half health left is carrying the flag out while you still have the speed buff plus the full health. What i'm saying is if its just the two of us and you're dying with the flag, i'm not gonna be a hero and cop damage with you.
****As for myself being the carrier, if its just the two of us I'd like for you to use my tactic coz as far as i know, it works. ****
i'm gonna stay back coz i know i can catch it and get a good distance in. you can come and catch it if you want. all i want is to see 3 on our team's score.
Cheers sam!

In my opinion, real players play to win and for the flags, those who go constantly run to get the flag even if nearly impossible are the ones who are good =) its poor to farm kills, or ks and just roam, its ctf. Capture The Flag, its in the name, so why dont many do so and get it?

Being a goalie...very few people observe my health lvl making it difficult to defend against multiple waves of attackers! Grrrrr lol
