> Hi-rez had to implement all kinds of dumb speed-capping methods like flag-drag and some other abortive experiments since people were going too fast and there was no chasing a 300~400kph back to front on a tiny map.
this is wrong

iirc, the flag drag was only active at above 350 sanics and it was basically unnoticable and did nothing to stop stand 2 stand capping. its main purpose was to stop people from rabbiting around the map with the flag, which means maintaining 500+ sanic being relatively safe

t. had 2000 hours in the game and 50% of it on pathfinder
