the evil soldier has been slayed
CTC is savedddddddd

all hail miss hell (pun?)

it was her idea to announce at the start of the round

No soldiers

everytime new players come in, you announce WE ARE PLAYING NO SOLDIER

most low ranking players dont know the soldier trick to begin with and most high ranking players will abide by the no soldier rule

this makes the game much more fun

We have played about 2-3 rounds with No soldier in the rules and it has been quite fun 'covering' your team etc. like in the ol days

Hooray!! I really disliked that soldier thing. Got me really frustrated at times.

I haven't had much problem with the soldier thing in CTC because "turnabout is fair play" (as long as it doesn't lead to a spawn killing/team killing war) I have found ways around the soldier issue. Games may last forever but I have come in on a few CTC games and managed to win the game anyways.

Interesting. Must be something in the air. I was in a CTC game tonight where we tried to put a new spin on things, but it was more along the lines of "hey let's put on a show!"

I believe Skydavis will be posting some pictures ...

What about tanks? I do go into tanks on the carrier flight deck and sit in a corner.

It's easy to kill the soldier, bomb the little U shaped bay, no good shooting though
And ammo don't last long anyway.

Does that work if the soldier goes below deck? To me it's makes no sense, that you gain a major game advantage by landing and purposely letting someone kill you so you can become almost impossible to eliminate. To me it's a major gameplay flaw. You shouldn't be rewarded for being a sitting duck. I don't even shoot planes if they land anymore as you're really shooting yourself in the foot when you do this in CTC.

Yes hear they are.

Once the soldier is below deck there's no time reset so he dies and on deck I just try to make em smoke, the chat from players who don't know about it can be side splitting!!

Purely by chance I've found there is more than one contact-sensitive locality where the clock will reset. May explain why bombing doesn't always work.

I'm thinking the Dev(s) should make it so you can pick which game/mission you want to play/enter at that point in time. Myself,CTC is a so-so game/mission, Destroy Base mission is GREAT...but needs a separate server and/or option to enter a mission with or without soldiers.Also,I think should add a "Free Open Flight/Mission" Mode...Where you have unlimited ammo(No reloading/landing to refill)...Plus it be where by playing "Free/Open Flight/Mission" Mode CTC,Destroy,or DogFight which ever type of mission.Kills,Deaths either on you or from you DO NOT count to ranking system.So no record of stat for THAT mode. Be really nice I think

Yes keeper
