CTF revival

[Rampage]

Do you enjoy the game because of the grappling around or the strategy and tactics, or both? I like CTF1 because it's not a grapple-friendly map. I don't like games where the grapple is the most powerful weapon. I like quake because it's a shooter, not a tarzan swinging remake. The grapple adds a lot to CTF but Red Alert with you guys who are REALLY good with the grapple combined with the fast grapple speed makes it a chasing game, not a shooter.

The problem with CTF1 is that once its controlled by one side, its extremely tough to make a full comeback. Almost every map allows you to stay in the game or make a comeback, unfortunately CTF1 is designed in a way which it is very hard to come back from.

There is another incredible map called Ziggurat's Pyramid or something I can't even remember, but its an egypation style map, very nice, creative, and open. CTF1's side windows allow you to get sniped, its defense is extremely tight, so if your team is trailing you're forced to try and grab any weapon and kill to get back in the game. It becomes difficult for one guy to try to get the flag, cap and play defense if his team isn't coordinated. In a good way the map requires great team skills but once you're down and every part of the map is controlled you will rarely make a comeback.

I just cant get use to the spongy grapple hooks in ctf

[R00k]

hmm trinicom had a weird spingy hook, is that what u mean? CRCTF hooks are pretty fluid and solid.

[Rampage]

Love the CRCTF hooks, the best.
You can even do sticky style, no jumping, just grapple from wall to wall with ease.

This sunday, see you again.

please this time people show up at 7 or 8, so we can have some earlier games.

Lol, I fell asleep after dinner, (as usual). Didn't wake up until after 10pm. Then didn't play worth a crap until after 1am We could predetermine teams possibly before game night? I remember a few lopsided games. Heck I'm just happy to play period. But when it's Rampage, Spooker, UT, Godlike VS Littleme, Destroyer, Me and Lerster things get ugly pretty fast Give us UT and take Lerster

Last time I played two games, and both had even teams.

Ramp, R00K, Destroyer Versus GodLike, LittleMe, UT

Both games were won by a few points..
the game on elder was won by one cap with a minute left to make it 319-306, we had the lead until the final minute, so go figure..

those were fair teams.

It was a lot of fun, problem is when you're pubbing half the time no one wants to play a team coordinated style.

I was stressing defense to you guys the entire game!
I tried to play D, while playing offense, and controlling middle
cant take a 3 man role next time!
you gotta be the D man defiance

[R00k]

Ya, we didnt even talk about positions that game. But a good team can initially start with player positions and rotate as the game goes. fastest hooker grabs RL/quad, gets flag, returns, to defend etc. Base defense->middle map control->offense seems the best tactic. I'd be bored if i played D on ctf1 all game For Elder I think the best Defense is (Yellow armor for Red team) and (RA/Quad for blue)

[spooker]

I'd be bored if i played D on ctf1 all game

i played D on ctf1 all game this weekend. after about 13 minutes i starting asking my teammies to take it, and they didn't, even after i spammed the request over and over

after about 17 minutes i just abandoned the base :~(
