While the basic CTF strategies still apply in One Flag, the game is just different enough to require a few different ones. Instead, there is a white flag in the middle of the map the object is to grab this flag and bring it to the enemy's base and touch their flag with it to make a capture. While each team still has a flag in their base, the objective in One Flag is not to steal the enemy's flag. One Flag CTF is a slight variation on standard CTF. If the team is large enough, it's usually best to have some members on a solid defense, some on a solid offense, and one or two who can straddle the middle of the map and serve as "floaters", players who can switch between defense and offense as needed. As you can guess, defense defends the base and makes sure that the enemy doesn't steal the team's flag, and offense tries to capture the enemy flag. In general, teams divide themselves into two squads: offense and defense. The strategies used in CTF make up the core strategies used in any team game, so if you can master these, you're well on your way to being a solid team player in other team games as well.īecause your team will need to both capture the enemy's flag as well as make sure the enemy doesn't steal your own flag, you'll need some team strategy to succeed in CTF.
