First off, really enjoying this beta. It's pretty much everything I was hoping for and the combat engine translates brilliantly to multiplayer, and the game modes are pretty good too.
Conquest Mode especially has a lot of potential for being truly great fun on higher player numbers, but I think it needs a few changes.
1. Provide some sort of indication as to where the flags are. The maps generally have a lot of geometry and it's very difficult to figure out where they are and where you should be going. Perhaps they should have a floating marker above them like the bases do in CTF.
2. This is compounded by having them simply numbered as Flag 0 and Flag 1 and so on. A combination of the CTF-mode floating markers (maybe translucent) and actually naming the flags (such as North-East Wall Flag, or Central Tower Flag, or Ruins Flag) would make this a much better/easier mode to play, for both sides.
3. Change 'Is now pulling flag X' to 'Is now capturing flag X'. Pulling sounds so strange.
Not being a developer I have no idea how easy this is to implement, but I think it would improve the mode greatly. Any thoughts?
