You’re familiar with the basic game. Imagine how much tougher and more intense this game gets when you can be tagged from a football field away! Play a two-flag game with a flag at each team’s base or play a one-flag game with a neutral flag in the middle that needs to be retrieved. Either way, you’re guaranteed to be challenged.
Strategy and Tactics:
- You have to balance a number of factors in CtF, including knowing where the flag is currently located and working as a team to move it up the field. If the other team has the flag then it is often easiest to spread out the team so you can locate it and then whoever finds it can shout out where the flag carrier is. If your team has it, however, you probably want to group up on the carrier to provide protection.
- If you’re protecting a flag carrier then you’ll probably want assault players in front of them and some flank players to keep your carrier from getting surrounded. As long as you’re moving fairly quickly you probably don’t need to worry about rear guards, especially if at least one or two flank players are slightly behind the group.
