Capture The Flag Is The Worst Gamemode In TF2

From my experiences, ctf will either last a few minutes or a few hours.

if you're lucky, it'll be a 2v12 match with you on the losing team. if you're unlucky, OH BOY HERE WE GO 5 HOURS OF LEAVING THE GAME OPEN WHILE HAVING A NIGHT OUT AND YOU COME BACK TO FIND IT STILL 1V1 LIKE IT WAS 5 HOURS AGO WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE NEITHER TEAM NEEDS 11 ENGIES AND A MEDIC WHY WOULD YOU EVEN HAVE A MEDIC IF IT'S JUST 11 ENGIES ON EACH TEAM.

[@weiserthanyou2052]

in retrospect, turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbine is actually better than turbine as long as you can establish a forward sentry nest/command post, both to stop those annoying spy-caps and so your heavies won't spend 10 minutes walking to the fight.

[@PeterTheIcePea]

I hate CTF too, and I remember playing on 2FORT once where I was an Engineer and was defending the intelligence and I lived for 40mins and before I started defending the intelligence it was already going on for 20mins. No one had collected the intelligence yet and I had a few Scouts running in before dying instantly and I did finally die in the end, which was 40mins, by a Demoman who died instantly by a Sentry Gun not long after he killed me and then it went on for another 28mins before everyone just went "Fuck this" and all agreed to finish it off. Once we finished it off people chose 2FORT again and the people who where there since from the start freaked out and it went on for 30mins and I decided to leave.

To be fair, CTF is my go-to gamemode when I want to dick around and play a single game for 3 hours straight. Stalemates are kind of the reason I play that mode in the first place. But yeah, for an actual competitive game it's trash.

[@pumpkin7906]

Same

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

They are drawn out because TF2's implementation is made to make them long. In most other games the CTF mode has a round timer (so you can win 1:0 on a 3 point match) and the flag returns back to base on touch (so that you don't have to camp on it in the open for a minute). And usually you can only get a point when your own flag is also at home.

[@101Volts]

That's about it, people more often goof around in CTF. It's far more laid back than Payload. As you said, you can experiment with other classes and the games are more drawn out. There's not so much of a sense of urgency.

[@codaboi138]

I've actually used CTF to teach some new players a couple times now. As turtle engie no less. Why? Because tf2 is chaotic, complicated and has lots of high skill veterans playing. CTF is the definition of a casual game mode. If I threw these newbies into a payload map, they'd be confused as to why they were dying and what they need to do to help. CTF is simple. The object barely matteres and when you have players who don't even know how to make buildings yet, the object is the last thing they need to worry about. CTF is perfect for learning the basics in a casual, low pressure environment with other players who are either new or just messing around. That's the best you'll get when this game doesn't actually have a tutorial.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The only reason CTF is so casual is because there is no deathmatch mode. Which by definition would be the most casual mode without any objectives besides killing. CTF in general is a rather tactical mode, knowing when to push or defend, which route to take, how much resources to commit to a push and what to hold back to defend the own flag. TF2 just implements it in a very nothing happens way.

[@lovelightstarboy]

As someone who basically learned everything while playing in a 24/7 CTF turbine skial server, this is so true. That CTF server basically feels like home to me now since, while casual was overrun with bots, I could go there to get some fun play time in and slowly get better.

They should just make it like every other ctf since the dawn of time and give it a touch return.

[@gravity1537]

Also, make it so the Intelligence timer isn't reset, but slowly increases depending on the time it's carried. For example, if there is 10 seconds left on the briefcase and a scout holds it for 5 seconds before dying, the briefcase will have a 15 second timer on it rather than the 30 second timer.

Overwatch CTF was arguably worse. With only 6 players on a small map, 1 lost teamfight means the enemy team has a guaranteed flag cap. It was even possible to cheese the flag by doing something like playing Reinhardt and grabbing the flag then charging half the way back.

CTF was luckily not my first gamemode, but I do like it, occasionally. Usually it’s just fun to fight without doing the objectives, but back during the high point of bots, the entire other team was bots, so my team went full offensive and medics, with 3 heavy’s, 6 engineers, a 3 medics. We, unlike most CTF sessions, pushed forward with our sentries and heavy’s, cornering the snipers in their spawns, and as the Heavy’s protected the sentries along with the medics, us Engineers valiantly grabbed the Intelligence and won the game. That was my first 5,10,15,20 and 41 kill streaks and it was amazing. We didn’t cower from the bots, we pushed them to their base and won, and it was with the power of coordination. CTF is fun if you coordinate attacks, but it’s also fun just killing and goofing around. Nice video by the way!

It was so repetitive, mind-numbingly simple and frustrating to see that neither team ever seemed to make any progress and many people were just fucking around. The map and mode made TF2 feel like an abandoned amateur project. It honestly made me want to quit. Eventually, I heard from others to just disable CTF from the list. I did, and suddenly I was having a ton of fun. The objectives were all doable and dependent on teamwork. I could get a lot better as a player and team-mate. I don't think I'd have continued playing if I hadn't done that.

[@HeroLink18]

This video has some pretty valid points, but honestly I personally think that having the intel automatically return to the base upon touch would be a really bad idea because it would cause more stalemates, not stop them. I've seen many situations where people have taken the intel, gotten killed, then someone else is able to steal it and carry the intel to their base, scoring a point. If CTF had the touch-and-return mechanic, you would have to somehow make it all the way into the enemy's base, steal the intel, and run all the way back without dying, because if you died even *once,* all your progress would be completely lost, and it would be really hard for anyone to capture, causing the game to last a *ridiculously* long time, if not forever.

[@buckethattrick9443]

Perhaps a compromise is in order. Say in order to reset the intelligence, you have to pick it up and carry it back to your capture point, effectively capping your own intel. We could still have a (much shorter) wait time on picking it up for the defending team to ensure that the intel doesn't reset every time someone gets a random crit.

I think better way to make ctf would be to: A: Have it be so that to return your flag, you have to take it and walk back to your base B: Have the base open up more and more as time goes on if there is a stalemate, so that at the start its a very closed and if no one gets a capture for an amount of time (could change between maps), then aditional routes open/some walls dissappear so it becomes harder to defend and easier to capture.

7:20 or i thought of, when for example a scout touches the intel and runs away for 2 seconds and and intelligence was already on 30 seconds left and that the scout dies, it just adds the 2 seconds that the scout was carrying the intel

[@lqu]

There's actually a console command that makes a dropped intelligence breifcase return once a player on the respective team touches it.

[@TrueFlameslinger]

I feel like maybe it'd be cool if, to return the Intel outside of the cool down, you'd have to drag it back to your own Intel room.

[@mscup8814]

@@TrueFlameslinger Letting players carry their own Intel is another problem, because a heavy could carry it whilst being healed by a medic, and the other team would have an even harder time trying to cap it because theyre mobile, and will shoot whatever is shooting them

[@MoltenSkull]

Better idea how about the intel stays on the ground 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds

[@mscup8814]

@@MoltenSkull Still a problem, since people spawn faster than 30 seconds

i like the non time thing because the sooner the match ends the sooner ill have to return to that endless matchmaking screen.

[@lithobreak3812]

and i like the standing doing nothing thing because than i can just mess around the majority of the time. and because Messing around and dont caring too much about the objective is my favorite thing to do i love ctf. (but the crits when cap for me is the stupidiest idea ive ever seen for a mode in any game)

[@matthewnickolas4706]

Crits are super stupid like: YOUR ARE ON AWSOME KILLSTRIEK YES KILL THEM ALL! (tryhard caps your intel) Critical hit in your face.... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF............

Honestly, i like CTF for one reason: 2Fort. 2Fort brings some of the best memories back. Plus, it feels like an endless killfest, which i really do love.

[@frut_jooos]

I agree, when you join if it's juuust right, it feels like it's the soul of tf2 and represents it. You got the newbie spies, engies and snipers, that one godlike tryhard demolishing everyone, the friendlies sitting in a corner, the casual meme Lords dicking around. With lenny faces in the chat.

[@mpg01]

What I think Valve should do is add a time limit to CTF maps in competitive, while casual CTF should remain time limitless.
