Capture the Flag

From the Call of Duty Wiki

Capture the Flag is a game mode, the objective in this multiplayer mode is obvious; to capture the enemy flag while attempting to defend yours. Realistically, capturing a flag is, as always, a key component of military success.

[edit] Call of Duty 3

CTF plays like in all other games only difference is that when you carry the flag you can't use your weapon but you can melee with the flag.

[edit] Call of Duty: World at War Multiplayer Tactics

It is necessary to work as a team in order for one player to grab the enemy flag while the others cover him and also to retrieve the flag if he/she is killed. Use artillery strikes to kill any enemies near their flag before running in and grabbing it (or even get team-mates to run in during the artillery strike).

[edit] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

CTF is now a game mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The only changes are that you can see which players are holding the flag, and now it takes 1 second to steal, and capture the flag. It has also been updated from the CTF version in World at War so that now its harder to be spawn killed by being spawned at the point furthest from your enemies and closest to the flag. Also, tiebreakers are settled by a sudden death overtime in which the first team to pick up the enemy flag wins the game.

[edit] Tactics

Many players will now use riot shields to barge their way through to the flag and use tactical insertions when they get close. The perks that are used most are cloaking ones like cold-blooded or ninja. Smoke grenades are particularly useful, being able to swoop in and steal the flag and make an exit inside the duration of the Smoke effecthe, providing there are no explosives or direct campers in the vicinity. Team co-ordination is vital in this game-mode.

[edit] Trivia

  • This gamemode is less played than other game modes.
  • It is highly recommended to be "elite" to play this game mode. It is a game mode of challenge. Many kills or deaths can be acquired and getting flags is required.
  • Playing this game mode with friends is recommended because on your own you have very little chance of fighting through all the other team, getting the flag and actually managing to get back to your base.
