For those of you players who played CTF a lot in the previous GRAW, are going to be disappointed with the changes to the CTF mode in GRAW 2 (IMO). For whatever reason, the designers have turned off the ability for the opposing team to see where the Flag is going when it is being carried away. This changes the dynamics of CTF gameplay, and not in a good way. The game becomes much more defensive. It encourages low scoring games, with experienced teams playing, was already low to begin with. Once a team goes up by one flag, all the team as to do is grab another flag and go hide on the map somewhere, and they win. It's not that they were necessarily better, it's that they got the jump, and whoever gets the first flag....WINS. With the maps being so huge, and so many places to hide...where's the fun. In GRAW 1, you could hide and evade, but at least the opposing team had a chance to find you. Now, it's just by accident. There just isn't enough time to form up a search party and start grid searching across large maps like you're looking for some missing person....ahhaha..

I could go on more, but I'm sure when you start playing it, you will see that the decision to turn off this feature was not good for the Game Type. Sometimes change is good, but this was not.

Ok, now that I got that off my chest...I feel better, but CTF is "RUINED"

To clarify something, when an opposing team has captured your flag, you can not drop off thier captured flag to score until you recapture your flag, kill the person carrying the flag, or they drop it off to score before you pick up thier flag. Sorry if it sounds confusing...

Just to be clear, I like mystery and stealth elements of the game just as much as the next guy, but with the sheer size of the maps and level of detail, with all the nooks and crannies to hide in, it doesn't take an experienced CTF player much effort to hide in some pretty crazy places.

Put me on the a map with the flag, and try to come find me in less than 10mins., with my teammates defending, diverting attention, and going for your flag while your're looking for me and see how far it gets you. Bare in mind, you only have minutes to find me, kill me, retrieve the flag, and then go get my flag to try and score, JUST TO TIE!!!

Sorry for being so dramatic at the end, but I love drama...

I agree with you. I don't know why they didn't make this an option. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I will say they made many other aspects of online multiplayer much better.

Now it all makes sense!! I was in a CTF game in GRAW2, which I don't play very often, and could not drop the flag I had captured when in our flare zone.

In the original GRAW you just had to wait for so many seconds within the flares and stay alive to score. Now, I guess the rest of the team must recapture our flag before we can score with theirs. This just doen't seem right to me.

Im guessing they did it to make it a bit harder to online players. I agree that they shouldn't of took that feature off but it's also good as it gives more of a challenge to find the holder of the flag!
