hi there,

since all the pros practicing CTF/TDM for QCON, i felt the urge to play my first CTF game since forever.
i kinda fell in love now and cant stop playing.
the thing is that i am pretty bad at this and not much of a help for my team.
so i wanted to ask if there is some kind of a CTF guide like there is for duel e.g. containing the basic tactics and so on.

plus: is there an irc channel for CTF pickups?

thanks.

thanks to esdf!

edit: these are the demos esdf is refering to in his document.
thx again esdf!

No problem. I'd just like to add that while reading this can be helpful, the best way to learn ctf (or I guess any team mode) is to get a clan and practice.

Also consider adding in #ctfpickup if you have the stomach for it :)

if you have the stomach for it :)

much bullshit talk going on there?
guess i can handle that.
the bigger problem is to find a clan i think.

Nice of them to steal MassMan's CTF guide, and not credit him.

It sure is fun isn't it Rvmble? I played a game with you the other day, you did good. Just focus on having fun for now. You WILL find what you are suited for by just playing and goofing around and seeing what other players do. GLOHF

why are people in CTF so .. "weird" (i dont wanna say retarded)?
is it because of QLRanks elo system?
its so hard to get a game going jesus christ. :(

It's because of 10 years of #spontanctf.

Anyway, I've posted the guide on PF, http://www.plusforward.net/post/835/QL-CTF-Guide/ so now you know where to look.

Do you mean how they hate readying up, want to shuffle 90 billion times and always pick castles or courtyard? Or have you just been in a game with deathbreathjeff?

Either way, pub ctf is fucky, but its still one of the best things to do in the evening while listening to death metal and eating dry cereal

I find pub ctf relaxing most of the time + there are some good players (mostly people who quit pickups) and games to be had there. I'd say 80% of the time it's pickup level games.

Pretty much every game in the evening seems to be full of good players. Its tough for someone at my level but its nice to not have a bunch of nabs trying to play deathmatch and ignoring flags.
