Re: Why is CnC such a rare gamemode
its a WIP that doesn't work well in pub play atm.
The reasons are as follows - Since FBs can be built anywhere like in AAS, they are built often in rediculous places or as glitched as possible. - The lack of objectives that attract each team in to constant contension results in a slow game, which is fine, but it means there are so many tickets that you always go to the clock instead of running out of tickets. - Knowing when you have enough FBs and theirs are destroyed isnt very good yet, thus the teams don't know when the main's can be brought in to play Its got some potential, but I only like CnC on Qinling and Kashan atm since the choppers ensure FBs can be found with some speed. |

i REALLY doubt any server with public players could play it with any success, i would bet 80% of the server would be like... "why are there no flags?"

I really like CnC. It's so random. And it's the only gamemode where FB defences are actually used for their intended purpose. |

Re: Why is CnC such a rare gamemode
As previously mentioned, CnC hasn't been fully developed.
I would say the reason most servers don't run it, besides it being a WIP, is because it really kills off the server's population. Not because it's a bad gamemode, but because most pubbies don't know how to play it. Without flags or a clear set objective, most people just dick around in their main base wondering what the hell to do. It's quite funny actually; people think the server's bugged because they don't see any flags. The whole FOB situation can also be quite cumbersome. You really need to have a team whom don't have their heads up their asses and know how to get shit done. Even then, with such a large amount of tickets and lack of proper intelligence, the games can really drag on for ages. It's not a gamemode for the impatient. I'm sure in due time, the whole gamemode will either get an overhaul or be scrapped for something new. |

The whole CnC mode works better when there is a certain amount of organisation when it comes to setting up battles.

Re: Why is CnC such a rare gamemode
There are no clear objectives for teams and since maps are quite big it all end up on running from one side of map to another.

Because, unless one team sucks or one team is really good, it usually takes forever.
