Post your greatest ideas for winning in CTF

Mine:
Get all the vehicles from you base and fill them. The tank is going to be most important. Now have 4 people on the tank. drive up to the entrance to their base and have the 2 people on the back get off and go get the flag. now when they get back on drive the tank backwards so it can still fire on the enemy. make sure the warthogs cover the tank's flanks so it cant be snuk up on. once youre back at base you're home free. repeat until you win! Well, come to think of it, this strategy only works well if you are playing on blood gulch. But, if you're using a Warthog, have the guy with the flag get in the passenger seat (you should already have a gunner) for two reasons: 1. The passenger seat is REALLY hard to shoot accurately out of. 2. Simple: The flag stays as the passenger's equipped weapon which means you insult the other team (can anyone say "Let's go for pride"?).

at blood gulch; go solo in a warthog, follow the winded trail, drive right up to the base, get the flag, pray that nobody stole the warthog, get into the warthog, take the same path u took.

Now i cant belive i just told the whole world something i cant even tell my friends

I get in a hog with 2 people ride in passenger go in the base with the gunner one of us gets the flag whoever has it rides gunner and the other in passenger so that the passenger can shoot then avoid the enemy. Thats my strategy it works everytime.

Riding on a tank in multiplayer? The games I've been in, unless you are the driver, you are cannon fodder if you are near a tank.

Each map is different, below is mostly for Blood Gulch;
The most consistent method I've used to get the flag is warthogs. Preferably two, becuase you are probably going to lose one on the way there anyway. If one or two ghosts are available for cover, even better. If both warthogs make it, obviously one can cover the other. You have to figure out who gets the flag, the driver or gunner. If the driver is going for the flag, DON'T park right next to the base, esp on Blood Gulch. Give the gunner room to defend himself and your ride back. If the gunner goes for the flag, the driver has to keep circling the base at full speed, ready to pickup the flag carrier (without running him over!). If the flag carrier ends up going through the warp door in the confusion, the driver can go pickup the carrier to get him the rest of the way back. I have found it is best to drive the hogs on the winding roads, you can get right up to the base with little warning. When you go jumping over the hills, everybody and his uncle knows you are on the way.

Infinity; This is almost all banshees, unless you have an good hog driver who can go quick through the map without flipping.

Gyrophobia; I always go for the ghosts on the lower level of the bridge. Otherwise, try using the banshee to land by the other teams warp door, grab the flag, and fly back.

Danger Canyon and Sidewinder are similar in my mind; Either assault with vehicles, or go through the tunnels.

Ice Fields(I don't if this is the best one)

Park your hogs on the bridge. Use tanks to push intoward the base. (If possible move 2 or 1 hog along the tank for scout)

side winder
pick up a sniper, and use portal at top of base
pick up rocket launcher, use sniper to scan/kill people on the next place you can teleport to
go through next teleporter, scan enemy base with sniper, kill all
trade sniper for fuel rod gun, pick up rocket ammo, use next tele
toss grenades down ladders to clear bast wait for explosions
go down, kill all with fuel rod and switch to rocket as fuel rod cools.
grab flag, run back the way you came(watch out for snipers)

Mine is, mod halo to where everyone in the warthog is invisible. Then you take the hog with a passenger and a gunner, drive the hog into the opposite base, have the passenger get out, take the flag, have him get back in, back the hog out, and drive back to the base without worrying about wether people are shooting at you, I mean, come on, there are three people with the flag!!!
