I think there are a few options we can consider to make stalemates less frustrating and more exciting:
- Prevent stalemates. If one team takes the flag while the other team has their flag, the other team loses the flag. It either returns immediately to the flag post, or it kills the flag holder and drops where the flag holder died.
- Encourage the flag holder to stay away from their side. If they die while on their team's side, the flag is dropped and immediately returned. If they die on the enemy's side, the flag is only dropped.
- Incentivize the flag holder to participate. Points gained from all sources are tripled, so if the flag holder kills someone or opens a crate, they gain triple the points.
