Ok, here's a shot that sorta almost barely shows what has me all worked up, Chaos CTF;

What you see there is a Chaos CTF map by Mr. Hammerman. And in Chaos CTF, you cannot just touch your flag and have it returned automaticaly. You must pick it up and carry it home.
If you look at the top of the HUD, you can see that my team's Blue flag is currently held by the Red team (the "!" is Red). And you can see that the Red flag has been dropped.
However, that's not all. Even though it's hard to tell in a static picture, the little 'radar dots' up there on those circles, no longer point to the flag bases,
The HUD radar dots now always point to the flags, no matter where the flags are at!
So not only can I tell at a glance that the Red team has my flag, but I can tell which way I need to go to get that flag. And even though the Red flag has been dropped, and is laying out in the map somewhere, I can simply follow the radar dot and I will find the flag.
I realize it won't appeal to everyone, but this is the Chaos CTF that I have been waiting/hoping/dreaming for, for a very long time.
I'd like to thank the Chaos Team, and Mr. JimMarlowe in particular, for making this a reality. Yes, we have many more items and features planned for this game type, but it will be quite playable, and very fun IMO, even w/o all of those items in yet.
And here's one recent addition that our guys took care of as well - since Chaos CTF supports vehicles,
when you select the Chaos CTF game type, all of your CTF maps will be listed in the map selection menu, including vCTF maps. So you can choose to play Chaos CTF on 'normal' CTF maps, vehicle CTF maps, or a mixture of both when you set up your map list.
I hope you give it a try. It's where you'll find me.

. it would cause complications , and lots of confusion. We'd need to tell the public about all our secrets , and it would take a while to get everything sorted. the Test Server would be too full , and pandemonium would break out!
However we have been able to get a lot of little things polished in the last few days. Plus the turret launcher model was just finnished. So we are trying to get those in and working and other little supprises in for you as well.
