Just some ideas to promote team work, something that is missing in team-based game modes, unfortunately.

Escort/Defending: If a friendly picks up a flag, there should be a faded aura around them indicating that you have to be within that aura to gain 'Escort Points'. If you escort a friendly flag bearer all the way back to your flag and they score, that is when you will recieve the points (to prevent hiding and just farming favor). Defending can be done the same. Every 15 or so seconds while in the vicinity of your flag, you will gain favor. As it stands now, defenders gain nothing and usually have to work their a** off. Give them something for their hard work.
Flag Bearers: Disable magic while holding the flag. It becomes incredibly cheap, as Ares' Inferno or Zeus' dash can bring you more than half way across the map. I don't think I need to explain further.
Flag Brutal Kill Animations: Maybe something like decapitating the enemy and sticking their head ontop of the flag spike? (we all enjoy the gruesome stuff). Be creative.
Flag Jumpers: Players with the flag can jump constantly, which ridiculously increases their speed. Lower the distance and speed of the jump (flag bearers only). As of right now, they only move about 5% slower than a sprinting player, and you can't even grab them (which I never understood). Friendlies should be protecting you, so outrunning a normal player while you have the flag doesn't make sense at all.
However, this is my favourite game mode as of right now. Incredibly fun, if you have a competent team.

Also, if you guys can visit and leave suggestions on my "Fire Trap" thread, I'd appreciate it.

I'm really trying to push the whole team work thing.
Thanks!!!!

The same thing happens in team Favor.
Let's say I'm already in the area of said Capture point, my team is holding it, if I score a kill near it no points are rewarded my way reflective of the objective score. But if I let said offender cap the point then I re-cap I get rewarded objective score, doesn't seem right to me... Especially in that game mode where it based solely on POINTS that win the game.
That's what I wanted to mention! Thanks, and I totally agree. Hopefully they fix things up, because I'm not seeing team-based scoring at all; yet 2 team game modes exist (as of now).
Even 10 points would be nice like "spot assist" in Battlefield

If you should get any points for escorting then not only for escorting all the way. If I would die wile escorting someone and that person managed to capture the flag I still did my job and if I won't get any cing of reward then next time I won't bother.

But then people would just camp while they farmed favor. It's a tough situation.
