Here is a step by step to do the flag throw:
[color=white] 1. Start a multiplayer game on Blood Gulch, CTF, All vehicles, NAV points on. Make sure that you are the red team.
2. Set off towards the blue base as quick as you can (zip across in a ghost)
3. When getting close, go close to the warthog. Notice the shadow area to the right, at the other end of the blue base, it is near the path that leads into the little tunnel with the plasma grenades in (that is where the magic happens!)
4. Grab the flag and head towards the shadow area.
5. Look around and you will see quite a flat slope (it is around the area where the shadow is no more). The slope flat enough at the righthand side that you can run up it.
6. Run up the slope, head a little towards the left and jump near the top, (if you don't you will see it won't happen.
7. Let go of the flag as near as the top as you can.
8. The flag will appear to be stuck up there (but actually it is slowly crawling down the mountain side. The NAV point, showing the distance of the flag is the easiest way to see the slow movement)
9. The flag will be making a really quick ticking noise (really faint) as it comes down the mountainside.
10. When it hits the floor it should suddenly pick up tremendous speed (faster than you or any vehicle can travel) [/color]
Sometimes this works to a lesser extend, it just shoots off a little (around 30m). If it is slowly crawling down the mountainside and making a faint ticking then its gunna shift (big or small)
If this works correctly then it should shoot off along the ground at an AMAZING speed. It then hits the side of the mountain and flys off to the right (near the exit of the blue teleport), then it shoots along the floor a little more and then hit the canyon wall and fly along it. It eventually ends up at the raised path that leads towards the red base. Sometimes you can get it to miss the last bit and it slams into the wall of the raised path (on the floor).
The video is very helpful and is easier to follow than my instruction. Watch the video it is great!
