Title: A new CTF invis trick
Post by: cheb on December 21, 2017, 09:25:49 AM
Just played CTF on a map with an invis spawn.
Everyone knows that invis is useless for a carrier because the flag stays visible, right?

I just witnessed a clever-ass application.
Our carrier was meters from scoring, approaching our fla-- wait, what's this faint outli-- BLAM! :o

Turned out, the enemy carrier was sitting, invisible, right at our flag spawn, waiting for our unsuspecting carrier to come close.
The magnificent bastard!  :giggity:

Imagine how broken games would become if Invis also covered the flag. That's why it still has places on maps. Same with the other powerups.

That is why we need to properly test the OA maps with all weapons and items in.
