Can't spawn on flags that are being taken(New Patch)

Post by Snow1Wolf »

Can anybody confirm that? This would make GC whole lot more interesting.
[EDIT] Confirm, you can't spawn while it is being capture, even if it is just one person capturing it.

What??? That's ridiculous! It defeats the purpose of a rapid response squad... I think spawn beacons just got more important...

If indeed a re-spawn is impossible once an enemy is in flag range, and that would indicate a change in common setup, it would address the need for a defensive setup. Merely a tactical challenge. ... Lovely.

Taking flags should be a lot easier now then.

People have said that this is a false alarm, you can still spawn on flags that your team owns that are being capped.

Can we have some more people verify or discredit this? We might all be freaking out for no reason...

This is incorrect. People are mistaking an owned flag being decapped with a new flag being captured due to the new way in which they choose to display it on the mini map. You can still spawn in on a flag that is being decapped.

Unless we can lose a point instantly, I am pretty sure you can't spawn on a point that's being taken. If is being contested you can still spawn, I think that's what you see.

I know whats wrong.

Points that are being taken by your team already look blue. And they blink. And of course you can't spawn on them.

The problem is: Your points which are being taken (By the enemy while they are still yours)...are also blue. And they blink. -_-

Edit: Damn, Coloneluber ninjaed it. Some ours before me. :D
