I think we should use the flag to kill people because it sucks not being able to do anything but run for your life.

You can also use the ball on Oddball, thought I'd save you a post.

I've killed all sorts of people(including shotgun users, energy sword users, and rocket launcher users) with the flag, oddball, and bomb.

i agree. you should be able to use a single weapon while you run your butt off. you can do it in Unreal.

being able to 1 hand the flag? that would be just stupid, 1 hand flag, 1 hand sword? or pistol? or smg? theres a reason why u cant use weapons with it, becuase your supposed to cover the flag runner, using strategy in a 1st person shooter... crazy idea eh?

Well It would be nice for defensive purposes if you could swing the flagpole at someone. Though it shouldnt be like club someone to death with 2 hits but at least being able to swing it would bring some comfort to the person trying to return it. You can attack with the ball...skull...in oddball...why not the flag. Its not like you can actually beat someone down with it unless you sneak up on them which is impossible since everyone knows its location. It would be pointless to add it but it also wouldnt hurt....wow that makes no sense.

By the way I dont think it should go one handed that would be stupid. It should stay 2 handed

It would be cool if you could stab an oncoming opponent with the flag. But you'd have to let go and drop it for a second. Then grab the flag, pulling it out of your bested opponents heart.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

It should be more like the sword with a ranged 1 hit ability.
