That is why server owners get to decide what flags they run. If geno isn't good for that map, then the owner (hopefully) does not add geno.max. wrote:How boreing.why not just abandon geno then its fair
But that doesn't mean we can add near instant death flags "just cause the server owner will decide."

Re: New Bad Flag=Freeze??
I don't agree. As already stated there are plenty of movement disabling flags already. While none of them prevent all posible life saving movement, that is the whole point. The bad movement flags makes it harder to dodge attacks, but not impossible.max. wrote:Is it possible to make a flag that makes u freeze for a certasin time....Freeze=No shooting no jumping and no moving, it would be rather cool.
A flag that gives you no tactical means of survival rather than pure chance of being ignored or too far away to get to in time is frankly a boring outcome. It is like when your tank gets stuck because of physics engine flaws. There is no fun there.
A flag that instatly blows up the carrying tank would even be more interesting.
"Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight, or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin paid; mostly only when I'm gettin paid. But eating people alive, when does that get fun?"

Help! I am stuck in the freezer!
This flag as it is proposed here is much too strong compared to the other bad fags. You might just as well press self-destruct.
About the geno idea: Why not make a "devine protection" flag? If a teammate is hit by geno and one of your team holds the devine flag the attackers die, not the attacked. In any other condition the DP flag works as a US flag.
That should even out the frankly awsome power of the geno (and create some massive mayhem).

That wouldn't be fair, becaues only one teammate has to hold it,asciimonster wrote:This flag as it is proposed here is much too strong compared to the other bad fags. You might just as well press self-destruct.

making some very happy campers. I'm pretty sure this has been suggested before. It should only protect the flag-holder.
Dormant. Not really. Kinda.
Re: Help! I am stuck in the freezer!
I like either idea there... but it should be that if the person with the DP flag is hit, it reverses the geno at the attacking team. Anyone else on the defending team can still be shot with the normal geno.Destroyer1313 wrote:That wouldn't be fair, becaues only one teammate has to hold it,asciimonster wrote:This flag as it is proposed here is much too strong compared to the other bad fags.

Another bad flag idea might be No Shooting... well, duh, you can't shoot. But you can still move your tank normally.
