Capture the Taco Returns Discussion

Capture the Taco Returns

Coming to a Mystery Portal near you, Capture the Taco returns for another six days of Tex-Mex mayhem. Team up to capture tasty tacos and rack up the wins from February 26 – March 4. We’ve also added Capture the Taco mode to four different maps, including Zen Peak, Colizeum, Lunar Landing, and Frontline Flats, and fixed some issues around picking up the taco while using abilities. You can find more details at the end of the article:

  • When the tacos are in their home positions, an area around them disables all abilities (no more mines and spike weeds, super speed)
  • Out-of-bounds areas have been added to the team bases in the Backyard Battleground map
  • Reduced speed buff duration from 3 to 2 seconds
  • Adjusted coin payout to be in line with other modes.

I open this thread to discuss :

1. What do you think about capture Taco in new maps?

    Which map do you think works the best/worst for the game

2. What is your feedback or things to improve?

3. Do you like to have this game mode permanent?

4. Any defects/bugs to report.

    I’m definitely game for it.  I think lunar landing is going to favor the zombies.  Unless the plants have back up infantry of dark flowers.  I’m curious to see how the coliseum works out too.  Regardless it should be a lot of fun.  The changes they have made seem ok, we’ll just have wait for it to go live to see.

    It all sounds good to me. I really liked Taco Bandits in the first game and my foray into this version was a bit mixed the first time; partly from the matchmaking issue and partly from some ability problems these changes should address.

    Hi! Thanks for watching! Players are playing team death match instead of capture the taco. Also please reward the player who captures the most tacos, the player that plants the most tacos, and the player that vanquishes the most taco carriers. Put them on the podium.

    My feedback:

    1. Reduce speed boost and duration after ggettingTaco to half second, 1-second max.

        Otherwise, just use hot rod chomper, dig, get taco then simply run away with speed boost, no body can catch up with you anymore!!

    2. Get points/reward if player participate with taco: steal/stop stealer/defend base/retrieve taco back. (similar feedback as Illionis1977).

    ALL game modes should further reward those focused on the mode's task instead of kills/assists/heals only. 

    If you capture zones in TT, score bombs in Gnome Bomb, (now) score tacos in CTT, etc.... you should receive points and/or stand on the podium after the match.  I think this would fix many of the lame playstyles that annoy most everyone who enjoys the game.

    I obviously agree about the rewards but think it should extend to the entire game/other modes, not just CTT.

    Worst than the hot rod is twilight chomper since he has twilight warp and a fast walk, he could simply warp to taco then run away very fast, very hard to stop this one since come out of nowhere, and run away super fast. 

    If he has elevation, nothing can stop this boy, not sonic mine, not an all-star blockage, not a machine gun, not z-mech, not imp punt, no rocket, NOTHING, he simply warps, lands on the taco then gone in a blink of an eye.

    I have to admit.... I waited for CTT to rank up my Twilight Chomper and it's super fast for me.  I've had incredible luck using him with SPEED, DAMAGE, DAMAGE....  I had to play solo ops to get the timing of the chomp with the speed increase.  So long as lag isn't bad... he's very deadly...
