Flag cap rate per person?

**Augustus Gloop** · 05-14-2007, 11:32 AM

Does anyone have a sense of how much each person present at the flag cap reduces the cap time?

With just me on the flag, the time seems to stretch into infinity, so I'm guessing it's around 30 seconds per color. (Red to Gray and Gray to Blue)

It seems like having a full squad hugging the flagpole reduces the time to about 5 seconds per color (maybe I'll have to do some experiments), does anyone have more definitive information?

Not sure how much each additional body on the flag reduces the capture time, but I know that three is a magic number and seems to cycle a flag at an acceptable rate. Obviously more bodies on the flag caps it quicker...

i'm not sure it's possible to have a universal rule since some flags go at a slower rate than others... although it's possible that there are only two types of flags: back base flags (Inner bridge lock, com tower, outpost, etc) and regular flags (all the others). I'm not sure that this is the case though.

There are a few different rates on the times, with the amount of bodies on the flags. Like the comm center or whatever on cebrere, just one body on that flag, would probably take over a minute to capture.

perhaps it has something to do with having adjacent flags. I've noticed that when cap'ing back flags without adjacent flags, it takes much longer than a frontlines flag.
