Game went overtime with scor 4-3 Just had a game where the score was 4-3(i was on the team with the 4) approaching the end of the game....annndd it went into 10min extra over time. The game extended while they had the flag thus making them cap making it 4-4, then they capped again right after that, them winning the game. Why did the game go into over time? Yes they did have the flag at the end of the game, but REALLY? We had more points at the end of the game. We made an amazing score with our 4th score around 1min left of the game. We are all excited cus we thought we were going to win lol,but....then the game went into over time and they won. Is this a bug? if not, that is GARBAGE. _________________ [MIA]Figgleton You can't see this!

Their 0:00 overtime cap and their subsequent cap is far more exciting than your 1 minute to go cap. Do you not see why? Your team likely got arrogant and then started playing like crap, and you lost because of it, whereas the other team kept trying no matter what. Arrogance is a downfall in most games so naturally, yeah, you'd be upset, but don't be mad at the game as that anger or upset attitude is a defense mechanism for people who aren't capable of admitting their defeat. I've been there. Lost some close games due to it. Gotta move forward. _________________ AsuraPhoenix wrote: blackwhiskers wrote: regarding boosting - sometimes nitron jumps indeed do squat, but no dice 8 out of 10 times? dude, you're bad, then. learn to throw nitrons properly behind you, not beneath you.

It goes into overtime if the losing team has the flag when the timer hits 00:00. It's immediately over if the flag gets returned without the losing team capping.

Note that this only happens when a team is losing by a single point.
