Made famous by an unofficial addon to Quake called
Team Fortress, which has quickly reached the title of one of the most popular
gametypes ever to arrive in the First Person Shooter limelight, Capture The
Flag allows a unique combination of Offense and Defense within the team. A team
who relies only on Offense will often be slain brutally by an opposing team,
and a team that chooses Defense only will never score points for their side.
A careful balance is needed - both of Offense for actually acquiring the flag,
and an eagle-eyed team of Defenders to provide cover for the flag carrier to
arrive back in his team's base. Capture the Flag maps are often identified by
usually having a symmetrical layout, with ample room for Defending snipers,
and usually a "gauntlet" that the Offenders must pass through to get to the
other team's base.
My own Capture the Flag maps are still in their infancy
- I have not expended as much effort towards learning the nuances of level design
for a Capture The Flag level as I have for other gametypes, but I will strive
to make more Capture The Flag oriented levels in the future.
There are no maps available for download here yet. Check back at a later date once I have completed some.
