I think, certainly on 64 player maps, there should be a LOT more flags.
As the main reason most people like Karkand is because the first two straight forward flags. All you have to do is sit there and wait where the enemy HAS to come down either one or the other roads.
Its not about how cool the area where the flag is, its about how easy it is to walk from one flag to another.
Imagine a flag left of the square right at the bottom of the hill from the suburb flag.
Like so:
Obviously more flags than that but that one is a good example of what I mean.
Red lines for routes to the flag. Blue boxes, good cover and areas where there will be gunfights. Alot of the action would take place behind all those houses and in the bushes.
I just feel alot of each map are really wasted because you dont get random firefights out in the middle of nowhere. As nobody goes anywhere that isnt near a spawn point. So if there are more spawn points I feel things would be less repetative and more strategic. Especially when you can just run to each one and make progress.
At least in a mod, you could definately change the feel and impact of each map by changing where flags go.
Or adding something that are miniflags. Or like mobile spawn points like in BFvietnam. So we can use the whole of the map and not get completely whored from every angle out in the main roads.
Just an Idea.
