This small guide is a few tips which generally would help people adapt and try become a decent IDL worthy player. Learning and getting use to certain tactics and using your head will help you be picked in normal private ctf or even the next idl season. <br /><br />[color=red][u][b]OFFENCE[/b][/u][/color]<br />- If the player in defence never moves from position you&#039;ll always know where the player is. Use it to your advantage.<br />- Dont always take the easy route out, attempt to trick the player in defence on which way your going e.g zdctf map01 pretend to go out the side entrance but slip back and run out the front.<br />- If any powerups are available on the map your on try your best to get them then run and attempt your next run. This can easily make it a capture instead of losing the flag before capturing it.<br />- Get as many runs in as possible dont hang around.<br />- SR-50 when running with the flag is a MUST otherwise defenders will always catch you. If you dont know how to SR-50 find out about the bind (Think Jenova did one and made a topic about it once) or learn to use the buttons for it.<br />- If your flag is out, [b]take the man[/b], don&#039;t worry about the flag. If you are dilly-dallying in the base while the flag is out this will provide ample time for help to arrive for the flag carrier setting up an attack. Most of the time the defense will pass you up after a passing shot, offering you a clean entrance into the base! (KillingBlair)<br />- If it&#039;s been a while after the flag is out and your teammates are spamming &quot;help!&quot; binds, it&#039;s often smart to camp in a spot in the enemy base where you have clear sight of running lane where the flag carrier has to go to score. You can surprise attack and return the flag, or if you are outnumbered, take a pot shot and retreat into the base. This will slow down the run just enough time for help to arrive! (KillingBlair)<br />-<br />[color=green][u][b]MID[/b][/u][/color]<br />- Instead of one shotting someone coming into the base sometimes it&#039;s actually better to injure them as they wont get out. This doesn&#039;t always work on some maps as the base may have alot of health ready for them.<br />- Try to tell the defence if more than one player is coming into the base and you&#039;ve not been able to kill them off.<br />-<br />-<br />-<br />-<br />[color=blue][u][b]DEFENCE[/b][/u][/color]<br />- Dont get caught up where your not ment to be for example if you go ahead of your post then end up to their base your leaving the base undefended.<br />- Try to find a good &quot;outpost&quot; spot to find players going into the base and catch up to them the way you came in and shoot them in the face.<br />- Improve your aim to try and &quot;1-shot&quot; players attempting to take the flag. This can help demoralise the attackers and will make sure they gotta put more effort into getting the flag.<br />- Getting the flag back is your job, try not relying on others to get it back. As simple as it is I&#039;ve seen a few people do this.<br />-<br />-<br />[color=purple][u][b]Overall CTF Tactics (Common sense)[/b][/u][/color]<br />- Try your best to communicate with your team, if everyone knows what&#039;s happening at the time they&#039;ll try to sort out the problem with you.<br />- Doom skills you&#039;ve learnt from FFA/1-on-1/Coop can all be used in CTF. FFA - Spamming/Spawn Camping/1-shotting. 1-on-1 - Accurate Shots/Hiding and Luring/Dodging Skills. Coop - SR-40/50 by speedrunning. If no CTF is on try other gamemodes and improving your Doom skills. <br />- Your part of a team, if your team lose, you lost. Doesn&#039;t matter about how many points you had on your team you still lost.<br />-<br />-<br />-<br />Contribute what you want to any tactics or if any tactics on the list you would like to comment on just post on it. Discuss. Thanks in advance, Fluffles. :D<br /><br />Also I&#039;ll edit it whenever anyone has any tactics they wish to add.&nbsp; :)
