Now that Chong and Racer have proven that tanks can indeed play soccer (an idea I shared over 9 months ago and many said was impossible)...how about TT football?

Here's how it would work:

Goal lines at either end of the field (as in real football) which are defended with heavies. There can be mediums and lights on each team as well for offense. It would resemble rugby or Australian rules football more than NFL football, but still the same feeling. The flag would be the football, of course. We could pass it as in scrum by bouncing into our teammates, but it would be nice if someone could find a way to release the flag or better yet, shoot the flag to a teammate like a pass!!! Didn't say it would be easy!!!

We could make the field rocky with hills and slopes and rocks, trees and water hazards. Would be loads of fun!!! There can be lots of great team play as you could form a wedge blocking the way towards the goal for your ball carrier. BMers and scrummers could enjoy success here and the teams with the best of both types of players would win more often.

Who is up the challenge of designing such a Mod?

Damn, that sounds awesome except I can't mod :P

Ya great idea paisano

You need to hear PokeMalo's interview on TT radio!!

@Reagent X
Is that interview recorded somewhere? I'd love to hear it!
Do you think he has it saved?

Yeah it's up. Check it out:

He talks at one point about some new Football-like games! And one called BoomBall!

@Paisano
everyone said it was impossible becouse when using using a flag for that type of game it IS impossible on TT, and a bot wouldnt give the real feel of soccer
Well for rugby aka football they would need a flag and not a bot, and using a flag it is impossible to get it on TT
For the "flag passer", I allready know how to let it go if a script is installed in both the client and the server, but as it just lets the ball go, if I dont know how to give anything like tanks etc a boost, the fag would get back into the tank, and as I dont know how to give the tanks or flags a boost...

FYI I made the scripting part of that game, and chong and racer did the rest (datablocks, modding and.dts making)

Maybe make a flag based on a football, and bind a key to accelerating it forwards and up?
