What flag do you like the most?
I know that on shellshock this poll has been done before but what is your favorite flag?

My favorite has to be High Speed. There isn't another flag that can be so useful in so many places. I like Stealth, Laser, etc. too.. but only on certain maps. And High Speed doesn't attract so much attention.. so I'm less likely to get hunted down by my Razzberries and Dukots (and don't forget that annoying jungle cat.. what was his name?!?!?!? Hehehe.. jk.)!
Noone seems to appreciate the beauty and the power of - quickturn. Hard to use, makes one dizzy, but very powerful and fun in close combat with few shots.

My favorite flag is ... NONE!
Flags are for wusses.
Jumping is silly too.

Tanks are big heavy powerful beasts
People who say that have sat in and work with <i>REAL</i> tanks. The idea of having a 50 ton tank jump is really just silly.
The flags, on the other hand, are more realistic and reasonable. Sure -- there's such a thing as a high powered laser for a tank-like vehicle.. That would probably be my pick (especially to pick off people jumping!) if I *had* to choose.
I like some semblance of reality in my games! Most (though not all) of the FFA jumping servers are just crazy half-hazard gameplay akin to <b>chickens with their heads cut off wielding semi-automatic rifles.. </b>
:bonk:
That's not my bag of nuts. You can have them!
Cheers!

heh heh
Heh, heh LOL .. quite true Legolas... So what do you call the flag you capture in CTF?
Come to think of it, *that* would be my favorite flag -- A captured opponent team's flag.

Chris actually tried to make it realistic on the first attempt, but apparently 10 km arenas and mach 1 bullets didn't work so well, so he scrapped realism for playability .

I think that the lack of total realism in BZ makes it more enjoyable. I get sick of games that are 100% realistic. If BZ were made to be realistic.. there would be tank damage, weather conditions (snow, rain, fog, etc.), night/day (where night was actually DARK.. not just darkER), etc. etc. etc.
So yeah... well.. maybe jumping tanks aren't realistic.. but they're fun.

My favorite flag is the other teams flag, dropped on my teams base...
I like seeing all those cute little other-team tank parts flying through the air at one time... It makes my day...
