What are some of your best/favorite flag capturing strategies in CTF BG? I prefer the ghost approach. Take a ghost across to the opposing base, park it around the back entrance, take the flag, and haul it back.

3 guys shoot to keep the thoer tam in their base, then chuck grenades in the hole in the roof. then you grab the flag, and run away......fast

with 16 ppl, it all has to do with respawn times.
ideally, both warthogs needed, both to circle and lay down fire while your buddy is inside. if theres lots of people inside, take more people in.
but before you can do this, you need a sniper or two to clear out there base just as your chums go in.
and a tank camped over the portal would help (block it after flagrunner goes through)
where you can have a ghost waiting.

It depends on what veichles are equiped and how many people are playing, but I find [color=red]red[/color] base has the advantage.If they teleport they can go through the caves and into the shadow 20m to blue base, a great way to go stealthy, because there is so much shadow there. They also have quicker acess to the rocket launcher, plus they can get a ghost ontop of blue easy The only advantages blue really has are quicker access to the middle powerups, and that overshield in the cave for assaulting red base.As you can see I like red team better so these strategies are from the [color=red]red[/color] perspective.

The Stealth Approach
For this one you need at least 3 people, what you do is have 1 person always on the defensive then have 1 guy take the teleporter and go through the caves making sure your not found don't kill anyone unless they open fire on you first or else they will be out to get you, this is when the motion tracker comes in handy. When you reach the bush outside of blue in the shadow jump in and duck down, you should have a good view of their base.

The third guy should hop in a ghost or tank depending on what's outide the enemy base. A ghost is good for a distraction and can be used as a getaway veichle for you, but the tank has more stopping power, it might be good to take both team members 1 in the tank 1 in the ghost, that way the enemy will be overwhelmed, this is when your flag stealing guy should sprint out of the shadows into the back entrance of the enemy base, while your team is stationed out front. Make sure you've got a shotgun with you grab the flag and tell your teammate in the ghost you need pickup, unless he's already dead, then grab his ghost and get him to fight on footonce you leave with the flag, then have all veichles retreat, or get that extra guy steal one.=)


I will post more later on today or tomorrow.

with my team we usually play either 2 vs. 2 or 4 vs. 4 with more sucky players just at out house but the strategy is to jam one warthog in teh front entrance and put the tank back 1st by the back if u play with them on the map so that even if they can get in there for the flag ull have more time to respond bcuz theyll have a hell of a time getting out and for offense just sneaking around to the bases with invisibility in a ghost with a rockey launcher

Assaulting

For a head on assault, again with 3 people have 1 stay on defense, or come in the passenger seat of the hog with you, 1 gunner and 1 driver. when approaching the enemy base have the passenger hop out and get ready to infiltrate, and if there is a gunner have him use the launch trick to get ontop of the base while you drive around to pick him up from the back entrance, then drive home. Also have any remaining guys steal veichles, if you own the veichles you own the game. Hope I helped, if you want any more advice just ask. =)
