Disturbing line in PC Gamer article...

"As the Russians attack, they can capture
several flag points, with the ultimate goal of totally over-running the
Germans. Adding a nice layer to the bloodthirsty combat is the fact that
once three of the map's four flags are captured, the Germans can't recapture
them."

Are there going to be flags marking the capture points? Please say no... please please no...

This is a good thing, becuase it means that games will go quicker at the end, and be more intense.

No it's not a good thing at all.The thing important is not that Germans cannot capture the "flags",but there is "flags".

They mean flags as in objectives(I believe neutral objectives are marked with a white flag on the objective map).

Three things:

1. Stop jumping to conclusions.
2. Stop reading into things too much.
3. Especially avoid doing 1 and 2 at the same time.

Well I'm just making it clear,quote the thread starter

It was easier to press your quote-button, matey. Also, you understood it the same way GM did.

No. There aren't. There just might happen to be "flags" marking the Objectives on the situation map...

My opinion on this is that it is not a bad thing at all. Look at this way, in the mod when you are down to the last objective you often get a rush of defenders running out to recap other things all over the map. This way it near enough forces the defenders to work together to hold the last objective. If it is true I don't see it as a bad thing, I see it as a way of making teams work together and making the end of a battle that bit more tense and tougher.

Oh and thats in response to the non reacaturable objectivs by the way, not the "flags".

Alan answered the question, stop with the speculation

Stalingrad Kessel ...anyone?

 

[WickedPenguin]

Yeah, really -I read that description once and immediately thought of StalingradKessel.

Stalingrad Kessel ...anyone?

Here. Good to know I wasn't the only one to think of it.

 

[Nimsky]

Funny, me too! Might be because that map might be in... well, you know

Also, I think the writer of that article probably is suffering from the Battlefield syndrome; calling objectives "flags" etc. Nothing to worry about.

 

[FYROM]

Yeah, it sounds like they were just referring to whichever map they got to playtest...

Honestly, do you think all the maps will be Russians attacking with four objectives? Make for an interesting war

WITH an easter-egg that time-ports you back to RO Beta 3.3.

Stalingrad Kessel ...anyone?
