Please forgive me for the persistent suggesting of ideas on this topic, but...
SUGGESTION:
In melle BR the person holding the ball cannot move or moves freakishly slowly, like he/she/it is crouching. Thus, the ball can only be passed via good teamwork and coordination
SUGGESTION:
In 'Fan Weapon Ideas and More for CUT2:E', SideWinder wrote:this has been an idea of mine for some time...A Flag Gun in CTF...heres how works...
the gun itself cycles with the cross bow (or it can be seperate, which ever fits best) when its picked up its useless, no ammo, but once the player touched the enemy flag, the flag loads up into the flag gun and it becomes a one shot weapon capable of pierceing multiple enemies and pinning them to a wall while sacrificing the flag it self...
In melle CCTF, the flag carrier is also not able to move or moves verrry slowly. He/she/it uses the above gun to pass on the flag. If the flag hits a friend, the friend gets the flag without getting any damage.
Melee BR: The ball carrier will not be able to survive with or without any form of melee escort. Due to the speed at which people can move in the game, it is impossible to protect a slow-moving target with only melee weapons.
Unless you have to pass the ball...
Melee CTF flag gun: Waaaay overpowered. It would be impossible to catch the FC(s) with this sort of thing.

Normal speed carrier:Unkillable...period
Faster:Unkillable...period Slower:Can still dodge
Cant dodge:Dead meat,stalemate
Throwing:impossible to defeat the carrier on small maps,impossible to escape on large
if the FC/BC were made as slow as he/she/it would be if he/she/it were crouching, that wouldn't be easy to dodge, nor easy picking. Its not like the FC/BC's teammates are just going to be sitting around in their base: they will also need to come to protect the FC/BC.
as its been mentioned,you can dodge around the defenders and impale the FC easily,its not like the team from which the flag was taken will be sitting in its base[/b]

And when the FC is dead, the other team will have to take the flag back to their base, and a new FC will arise from the ashes. Then the other team will have to kill the FC and so on and so forth until one team gets their FC to their flag. This will be almost just like BR...
but say you're playing a good team. and finally one of your team grabs the their flag and makes off with it, then they shoot it - blow up and die? what's the point really? i dont really like the idea to be honest with ya .
(edit) oh would the flag be returned to it's stand? because if it stayed with the corpse i guess that would be good. i was talking about if it respawned back at the enemy base, which i guess would be stupid

Actually there was some popularity in IG BR...not that I would like such a thing but I do remember going to a few lans where thats the only type of UT2k3/4 that was played...
Actually, I can see it working if in BR if the ball carrier are slow down and the cool down time for the dodge is made 2x. The only way to escape is smart passing.
