I want to see what everybody's roles in a 8 on 8 CTF match. Sniper, Gunner, Assaulter, Driver, Sneaky Ninja Freak...etc. Please post your role and a story where you owned the other team by using your talent.

Me, I'm a stealthy assaulter. One time on Blood Gulch, I was on the Red Team. I had used the caves to get to the Blue base, and they had 6 of their guys on the top of the base looking toward Red Base with snipers. The other 2 were in tanks on either side of the base. I snuck behind the tank, right in the blind spot of the tank's camera. I then went up the ramp to the top of the base. I proceeded to whack all the Blue snipers in the back, because apparently they were stupid enough not to say,"Hey, he's on our base! Get him!" They had a "parking lot" of Ghosts around back, so I dropped down and grabbed the flag. I ran back to the Ghosts and shot past the tanks, swerving around their shots and scored.

There you go. Have fun.

I'm a Middle Man Sniper. Take out guys that come through teleporters. Damage oncoming vehicles. I'm a killer and that's all I do unless an ally comes with a flag and has died. Then I have to get the flag and run for my base. I also spawn kill the other team with my sniper and pistol. It's usually me and the assaulter who have the most kills on my team.

I've noticed that there are a lot of snipers around here on multiplayer story threads.

I'm a sneaky, silent killer/flag runner type. My favorite thing to do on BG when on blue is take a warthog and jump off the cliff next to red base. It's a good move because the reds are usually over at my base trying to get the flag, so they don't notice me. Either that or they're too occupied with my other teammates to see me. Once i grab the flag I get in my warthog and drive back to blue base. I'm usually the one that wins it for my team, not through kills but through points, although I can still hold my ground in a good gunfight. I'm not too bad of a sniper either, and can usually provide supporting fire for my teammates.

i play the midfielders role, i cover the guys on offense from afar with a sniper or just harass the other team by circling their base in a ghost firing like an ass to distract their defense while my teamates make their way around the sides to go in for the kill, this tactic is surprisingly effective. i also go back to playing defense when we do an offensive shift and put more people in attack positions to ensure a capture

My Talent would haved to be sneakyness, i can run into the enemy base and sit there with out being spotted at all.

My Best was sitting there in blue base on Blood Gulch 6v6 PTF, and the flags just switched around and i grabbed the flag but a glitch happened, i grabbed the flag just as it switched and so it wasnt call out my team had the flag, i ran around the base up the ramp and through the teleporter and thats when the comps vioce says "Red Team has the Flag", coming out of a teleporter i see an enemy sniper ( Known as Price2k in the other room ) and i hear him say "dont worry im watching their base" and then screamed as i smacked him around the back with the flag, only then did he realise as he watched me run over his dead body carrying the flag and shouts "Rats Got it! Hes got the Flag! Damn you!...im gunna kill you Rat!" ....so after he respawns he grabs the sniper rifle....through the teleporter and starts shooting at me as im just going up the ramp into my base, he hits me once but wounds me badly and luckily i just jump in the hole and scored!
The curses of the other team ( especially Price2k's ) can be heard and as im laughing i come out of the base but to end my triumph Price snipes me again....Killing Me!

That was a great Match and we won in the end 5-1!

Im also good at driving, sniping and assaulting!

Indeed it does. Have you seen #38? It kicks @$$, although it takes like 20 minutes to DL. My other skills in CTF include driving(I can actually land the jump off the cliff with a hog), sniping(I've been rapidly getting better at it) and pissing people off because I killed them with an AR when they had a rocket launcher.

I saw 38 the day they publicly released it and it is awesome. I have about 30 episodes saved to my computer.

I'm a sniper and anti-vehicle person who usually works in the middle of the map. sometimes I'll just find a high spot and start the sniping though.

I use the Rocket Launcher a lot. Not up close though, its usually those scenarios where the enemy has shot off with our flag and I happen to be walking around a) the central section of Blood Gulch b) the rocket launcher ledges in Sidewinder at the time. I just grab the Rocket Launcher, hide in a good spot, watch the vehicle move towards me and then blow it to pieces once it comes a good (medium) distance away.

I suppose you could say I'm an anti-vehicle person.

General all rounder with a preference for sniping! I can cover people, grab flags, defend, drive etc (I aint saying im amazing Im just good out of the people I play against)!
One time my friend got the flag while I was at the base as well, so while he ran back through the teleporters I went on a rampage with a Shotgun to halt a pursuit, I took out a team of four twice over before escaping back through the teleporter to my base!

I am the retard on your team that kills his allies, gets controllers thrown at him, and then runs away.




Just kidding.

To be honest, my talent is my lack of talent. I'm the decoy. They send me out into the middle of the field (be it BG or Hang'Em) while our two assault guys run along the sides.

It usually takes the other team a point or two before they realize they shouldn't go after me.

Yes everyone, DRIVING IS A TALENT! LoL ok that's a lot of sarcasm, vehicles suck. Number one I think 8v8 CTF games are retarded, any more than 4 is too crowded and is nothing more than a buncha idiots running around shooting at everything they see, no strategy and no real strategical skill involved.

Actually, it is something you have to get used to. Knowing when to fishtail a warthog to protect the passenger with the flag or using ice on sidewinder to your advantage takes skill. And not hitting objects is a plus...

My role depends on what the rest of my team is doing. If they are somewhat organized and have some tactics, I hang back and guard the flag. If my team is a bunch of morons who keep getting killed and respawn at the base constantly, I usually go out and get the flag.

Other than that I'm the second in command, helping the person who will be getting the flag, usually by causing a distraction so they can run in. My favorite time was at blood gulch when I circled the base in a warthog to annoy the other team. They were so busy on me they didn't notice my teammate run it, snag the flag, then jump back into the warthog as I passed. Good times.

There is a button on your keyboard labelled: Caps Lock. Use it. Not only will it make your post seem that much more intelligent, you will also save yourself a gruesome death by someone that would have killed you.
