      the points and global ranking system has ruined the fun...just look at karkand, both teams will constantly fight over the hotel flag the entire match.

        I think it makes the game more challenging... most people are desperate for points so they will fight harder. And the ribbons, badges, and metals something to work for.

            unfortunately there are no medals for taking flags at this time. if this game is just about points and medals, why do we need flags?

              NOPE...I love flags!! Gives an advantage and allows your team to push forward from that point instead of your default spawns.

                  Wow that is the most annoying thing ever. Seeing a load of smurfs sitting at a flag we already own. The UAV is flying at the very next flag showing that it is completely open for capping and no one bothers moving towards it. Makes me want to drop arty on my own team sometimes.

                    Why get flags when I can whore points for an hour?

                      Ummmm.....I think drag_bag was refering to the guys that spawn camp a flag for kills, & won't move to cap it, but you make a valid point too sir LOL

                      The less flags the enemy has the more they are concentrated, & are more vulnerable to arty, & 'nade spam, & the more points for you sir

                        Ah, yes I understand now. LOL!!! I guess I've been wrestling with the issue I described in my post a lot more lately. I just hate seeing all kinds of people loitering around the battlefield... haha

                            i used to be a flag whore, but no one ever joins my squad or helps me take a flag, so i have given up to be a j-10, mi-28 and claywhore. and now i average top 5 finishes.

                                Definitely not a flag hopper because it is not rewarding to you personally. I could care less if i don't cap a single flag but i still get points and kills. There are always other players doing it anyway.

                                However, when i am in a squad and we are all rushing a flag, of course i will take it. If we need the hotel/square flags back, i will try to help get them back immediately. But it is not my top priority. I like the faster gameplay in big firefights, not driving cars around flag to flag. It gets boring for me.
