Hi all
I have a few friends which I play with, most nights we have 4, some we have a full 5 for CTF matches (we play most playlists if we only get 4).

I'm having a bit of an issue in CTF however. It's of my opinion we should move more as a unit, all of us "together" covering each other and moving the flag as a whole team.

My friends however seem to think the best way to play is 2 defending, 3 attacking, but we only win around 50-55% of our games playing like this (and normally when I play well)

Which is the best (or is there a better) way of playing CTF?

Well since you don't need your flag at the base in order to cap defending is pretty useless they need to change that.

Control the middle of the map to keep constant pressure on the other team (they have to get past the middle before trying to get your flag) instead of letting the other team come at you when defending a base/flag.

As you control the middle, send 1-2 (preferably 2) people to get the other team's flag carrying towards the line of sight of your teammates so they can pick off any pursuers.

So My setup would look like this for a 5 man team:
2-3 players in middle
1-2 players on offense

When up more than 2 captures
3-4 in middle
1 on offense

That's kinda how I try to tell them to play but at least one of them insists on defending. Thanks for confirming what I already thought.

They don't seem to get that if you let the enemy attack you while you defend, all they have to do is get a good run at you and kill you off, then they have a decent amount of time to get the flag halfway across the map before you can respawn.

I'll have another go at talking to them tonight, and try to find another team if they won't listen I guess =)

Its completly situational to me. So more than anything you need people who are
willing to adapt at the right moment. I consistantly play with a friend of mine who honestly has probably a .25 kd and we win all the time.

I'm not saying kd matters all that much in ctf but I'm just trying to let you know how bad he is and 3 randoms. I agree that middle of map is important. I'd say put your best player there to help offense and defense.

Me and my friend try be really creative and do the exact opposite of what the other team is used to. Being unpredictable is why we can win so often.

As I only usually play solo or with my wife, I don't really care for CTF. But even I think its remedial to be able to cap a flag when your flag isn't home. It defeats the whole purpose of the strategy of CTF mode since I first started playing FPS games .

Tell your friends that they have no clue how to play flag correctly.
