Capture the flag - An online time waster!

[Tacoma74]

Great idea! Perfect for letting off some steam after an intense frustrating mission or something. Sometimes you have to just walk away from the "full real" aspect and have a little fun!

This got me thinking of what else could be done. What about another mode, similar to say "Battlefield 1942" or "Star Ways: Battlefront"..? For instance, both sides start out with one base each with some neutral bases in between to be captured by either side. All of this on a small area of the HUGE map of coarse, and airstarts for everyone. Bases could be taken by flying circles over the base (around a beacon of some sort perhaps) at a low altitude (below 2000m?) for an certain amount of time, and the time decreases with the more players that are flying overhead. All bases that are captured are protected by AA. If you are shot down, there is a 30 second respawn time before you spawn over the friendly base of your choice. While you're waiting to respawn you can switch planes, and loadouts. Team that gets say 100 kills or captures all bases within the time period (an hour?) wins the round, otherwise the team with the most kills wins. If you've ever played any Battlefield game then you get the point. This is all only if the game engine could support this type of gameplay of coarse.
