That's unnecessary.
And yes, that text sometimes can be missed if the firefight is very intense.
Yeah will donuts aren't necessary but I still like them.
If they gave a point for grabbing the flag off the base you would almost never have those long drawn out stalemates.
I wonder if anybody has made a mod that does this. I would like to try it out. It might suck or it might be fun.

They did that in Tribes 2 a while back. It was 1 point for a touch and 100 for a cap. It rarely made a difference, but it makes cap attempts less for naught than they currently are. I thought it was a good system nonetheless.
Individual score, maybe. Team versus team points? Hell no. Stalemates are interesting.
Realizing you have it isn't the problem. It's not realizing you don't.
I've done that a few times. More than I'd like to admit

Well I've played plenty of games where it seems like one guy is on offense and the rest are on defense.
Yeah one point for taking it off the base and 100 for an actual cap sounds better then the 1-10.
I'm just throwing out an idea to revive a game type that seems to need it. Because CTF seems deader then dead right now.
How about:
-Replace the flag with a giant reefer. The longer you carry it, the higher you get (trippy screen fx, drunk walk...)
-Replace the flag with a nuke that starts leaking radiation when damaged, and hurts the carrier and those near him. When damaged some more it blows up.
-Place the flag (or nuke) on a large vehicle, like a Leviathan. Mobile flag bases on outdoor(ish) maps, tactical fun for everyone.
-Etc.!
I'd be happy if they just changed it so the message that you have the flag showed even if the enemy team has yours. The way I run in CTF maps half the time I have to double check if I have it or not.
Agreed with OP and child post, although I think a 1-20+ ratio is too much - still nobody would bother take the flag from the enemy base with such a relatively low reward - "Let somebody else take it and be killed so far away from home. I'll grab it off them when they're a bit nearer our base and get the glory!".
It seems that older games like UT and Q3 have scoring pretty much spot on. With UT3, it seems to be you get most points for killing people and achieving the main objective, no matter the game type, without regard for assisting and such. Often times in both UT and Q3, I'd come top of the list purely by defending the base in CTF. No way that'd happen in UT3.

Obviously the people you play with have no idea how to actually play proper ctf. Apparently neither do you if you're serious making that suggestion. D:
Yeah whatever.
I still think it would be a good option to have.
and make it customizable so you can set the value of a flag cap and a flag grab off the base to a setting that best suits the players involved.
If people don't like it they can play it the way it is now. Some might want 1 point for a flag grab off the base and 50 points for an actual cap or you could set it to 100 point for an actual cap. Just more options for people to have.
Yeah almost as good as yours. If you call personal attacks arguments.
And I think the flashing flag on the HUD would be a good idea to.
It's not an attack, it's an observation on how you look at CTF. What you mentioned is not the way you play CTF.
But tell me, I'm a bit confused, did you mean personal score or cap limit score?

Well I guess I don't play the "Proper" way whatever that is but a lot of the pub games I've been in where people for the most part aren't that good and I include myself in that category where it's a lot easier to play defense then it is offense.
So you have a whole bunch of guys playing defense and a few guys trying to grab the flag. Why because if your not that good then you make a long trip just to get blasted respawn and make a long trip again then you just say will I will just play defense and contribute that way.
Will if you scored one point for your team every time you grabbed the flag off the base then hey I got killed but I at least got a point for our team and who knows that might be the difference between a loss or win and you feel like you done something worthwhile.
And like I said its an option so you and all the guys you play can play the proper way but others might want a variation for their style of play. Might be fun might not be. It was just an idea I was thinking about an thought would be kind of fun to try.
I don't know why giving suggestions or different ideas offend people so much. To me an idea giving in good faith is harmless and might give others something to think about an they might come up with a better idea.
