the reason we wait for the time to run out is so we could attack at the last seconds then start the new turn and finish off our target. and that a BIG part of these types of games!

I think this needed to be fixed. I would run you over with out without your lame double turn. Your points make no sense, but this does stop people from holding an objective running the clock out and starting right away. This is a great fix, and yes I do play freestyle speed and casual.

I see the logo is new... the green red, but that looks pretty tacky and really not needed. The current red / green would have worked.

Yawn... the exploit is over... next... BTW just because you can use Clickable maps... run the clock out and make a quick kill on someone does not make you any better than the next guy..

Not a freestyle fan, but I'll have to give the changes a shot. Still hoping for my suggestion:

That is a long ass title!

The reason freestyle needed to be fixed was objective maps. In the last freestyle update it was deemed a necessary evil that you could still get a double turn by running out of time (Quick note here - we used to have REAL double turn allowed games. You didn't need to run out of time, you could just take a second turn. These were eliminated to make the game more casual and more fair so I don't see them coming back. The hybrid was even worse because not everyone knew about the loop hole). When objective games were added freestyle got really messed up, because double turning could guarantee the win. Previously, a double turn would hurt your opponent but it wasn't very likely that you could eliminate them (especially since you were forgoing a card). With the loophole, all you had to do was capture the objective, run out of time, start turn and win. There was no opportunity for an opponent to break you, despite knowing exactly what time the round would end. Hence, there was outrage across the site because this practice made freestyle very little fun on objective maps and ruined the casual nature of the game.
