I found that if the other side has a l33t squad who respawn cap the flags, then unless ** doing the same thing and rushing around to the next flag, and the teammates suicide and spawn on u again then u will lose pretty quick. I remember one map I just captured 1 flag and by the time I got to the next flag the previous had already been capped, since it takes about 5 seconds to cap a flag with a full squad.
The thing about bf2 is that u should be able to play it as u want, but this tactic just owns all. When I run into a squad of medics, unless they line up for me then Im going to kill 1 or 2 before they revive.
Played the other day and found that this tactic was being used on clan servers a lot.
If the game is played where people respawn and make their own way to the flag its much more fun.
