Warpath Map variation idea

[Doughnut-4|4-]

This is an idea for Warpath and maps like it to promote more team play and a fresh command point style idea. Warpath is made up of five consecutive capture points leading to two bases. Ordinarily anyone could grab a point if it's the next in the list for their team. I propose a new system for Warpath or maps like it.

Both teams start with one flag and capture points in order from their base, but only flag carriers can capture points. Once a point is captured another flag appears at that point for the next point to be captured. Once the last neutral point is claimed two flags no longer are in play. The flag that did not claim the final neutral point now belongs to the offensive team - because the team that just captured the final neutral point is on the defensive with no flag to claim new points, until they successfully defend their most forward point. If the defensive team defends successfully by killing the flag runner, they become the offense and a flag is placed at their most offensive point.

Points would be awarded for defensive time and successful captures to discourage turtling-like strategies. I just like thinking up new gameplay styles sometimes...
