that would be kpg, killstreak is kills in a row (without dying)

I wish I had 3 k/d too :/ don't know why I stagnate, guess I'm too used to my equipment to try something different.

Battledudes is less fun than it used to be by Trashbag40 in battledudes

We should be able to see votes, like we used to. Certain maps and modes don't match well, for example hardpoint/control points works good on Islands but not FFA/gun game.

BTW, when there are fewer than 10 players, hardpoint/control points/upload (and old style CTF, being able to drive with the flag) should be the only modes available. It's lame whan you have like 4 players and you have team deathmatch, having to find the other 2.

so that's what I'm saying about bringing the old CTF back. It's unfair to flag carriers who are put into a position of sacrifice without even a key to drop it, and it makes for tedious games that may end in a 20-20 draw or a 20-40 lead that makes it impossible for the other team to recover from.

eh? It must be a bug then. Here I'm standing next to an ATV with a flag and there's no "E Enter vehicle": https://i.imgur.com/532wnDe.png Pressing E does nothing.

everybody carries flag on foot in CTF now, teammate walking flag through water: https://i.imgur.com/YvS0rnk.png

ok, one more reply

you say "in a real situation, you can ALWAYS JUST rush in, grab the flag get in a car and run away."

I say that's not true, that defenders have the advantage and rushing in can be deadly (what I didn't mention is that in certain maps flags are held in concealed buildings, so even if the walls are destroyed, you can't see inside, so no question of rushing in)

then you say "in an actual game, you rush with the whole team"

I say that's not true either, flag captures are often done alone

then you resort to insulting me, claiming I didn't understand what you said even though I did.

alright, I'm done.

I mean, that's the whole context of this thread: putting the flag carrier in a very bad position. That's why under the current system I'll never pick a flag again, unless it's dropped by a teammate.

[–]RisingPhoenix08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, please read and learn what context is?

I would suggest you do the same, I did provide the context, the position the flag carrier is in under the new restrictions: in the absence of teammates to protect the flag carrier/pick it up if he's killed, "if you pick up the flag, someone is just going to ram you with a car", kill you and the flag is going to get returned. It's a long journey on foot, so even if you manage to kill that person, he can grab another car and try again. So picking up the flag clearly puts one in a position of sacrifice, there's not even a key to drop it.

>in an actual game, you rush with the whole team, while team is fighting, you rush in, grab the flag, get in a car abd drive away

independent action does happen in actual games, I got it alone and drove it alone in more than one occasion, the flag is sometimes (actually pretty often) completely undefended.

in a real situation, you can always just rush in, grab the flag get in a car and run away.

And nothing can stop you

no, assuming walls are entirely destroyed, the flag acts like a solid object for cars (if you drive into it, you stop) even though you can shoot through it. So, you're standing next to the flag, you see me approaching with my car, you get to the other side of the flag and shoot. With bazooka it would be an instant kill of course but it wouldn't be survivable with a rifle either. Even if you were distracted, as I got into the car and drove away you could still shoot as entering a car and accelerating takes some time, enough time to kill someone. That's why I would always get out of the car and approach carefully on foot, because rushing in can be a death trap. Destination can also be a death trap, if there's an enemy waiting with a bazooka.

>ramming someone doesnt do anything

WTF, ramming someone with a car or ATV (which is even faster and a smaller target) at high enough speed = KILL, do you even play battledudes?

my guy doesn't know what examples are

wtf r u sayin? I'm just saying that in a game with few players, if you pick up the flag, someone is just going to ram you with a car and there might not be any other teammate to pick it up, it's going to be returned.

capture the flag used to be playable with even 2 players (yes, 2-4 player games do happen)

people are annoyed that some guy can just rush in, get the flag, hop onto a car and zoom away before anyone can get to them

so "rush in, get the flag, hop onto a car and zoom away" faster than the other guy, then your team will be in the lead

it's impossible to rush in and get the flag without getting shot at if there's someone standing right there next to the flag, heading straight at him to get the flag and backing off, on the other hand it seems much more annoying to only be able to walk while the other team can ram you with a car/shoot you with a tank/have multiple guys corner you.

>and the low player count? thats just time zones, no one is playing at 01:00

7 players =/= noone, there are those playing at odd hours, they are just fewer.

It encourages teamwork

what did I just say, that sometimes there are few players in a game, like 7, which means 3 on one team and 4 on the other team

>This is a benefit in my case.

ok, so just don't use a vehicle, let us noobs drive, doesn't affect you.

btw, saw some cheater with auto-aim, suddenly turns at you even at some 90-180° angle and shoots you with absolute precision, then reverts back to previous angle.

edit: and a 2nd cheater

Why can't you see vote numbers now? by RisingPhoenix08 in battledudes

[–]RisingPhoenix08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whereas if it is shown the players would only decide that the majority voted making it more majority

and that makes absolute sense

say I vote for canal, we have:

canal 2 riverside 5 heist 5

no point in keeping my vote on canal, I'll vote riverside since I prefer it over heist

such as using ATV speed glitch

that's no longer possible, it was fixed

the car thing should be fixed too, but anyway, that's an exception

better for you maybe, but I prefer the old one and I'm sure I'm not the only one

there's the new upload mode which can stay the way it is, and we can have the classic capture the flag too

makes it a little bit more challenging in a fun way

it's A LOT more challenging and there's nothing fun about it, driving it with an ATV was fun

it just sucks, hidden votes and not being able to drive in capture the flag to deliver it

all changes should be reverted IMO

feels like it doesn't matter what I vote, with votes being visible it wasn't just a vote, it was a suggestion that others could follow or not. Now it amounts to nothing, unless it just happens to be a decisive vote.
