Bilbo Skywalker Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I don't know about you but i find it really frustrating to play CTF for the simple reason: teamwork; or the lack of it. No-one seems to comunicate using team chat or stick to a defined role, usually leaving me to be the only one either defending or going for the flag. Now I am no pro at this game but i understand that if you are organized you tend to win. ie arrange defenders and attackers. I try to instruct my team as to where i have positioned the likes of trip mines so as to avoid them, but no they just charge on through and kill themselves! I attribute this to either of three things: 1: not speaking english, therefore not understanding me. 2: being new to the game so not necessarily understanding what i mean. 3: just not giving a sh*t and doing there own thing. I just think this game is more fun when it isnt twenty people running around doing there own thing. awww maybe i need to find a clan. Anyone else experienced anything like this? please share. Thanks, Bilbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 When I first started this game I played either Team FFA or CTF. I soon realised that playing CTF with this game is pointless if you are about team work. I play TFC and the teamwork in that is great, good communication, people staying to defend etc etc. There is none of this with JK2, everyone seems to be out for themselves to see who can get the highest frag count. I love CTF, shame that in my experience, JK2 CTF players don't know how to play it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altus_Thrawn Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I agree. In AlwaysOnlineCTF, when it was there, their would be like 13 people on each team. 1 sniping, 1 defending in ship, 2-3 defending on ground,1-2 attacking well enough to get onto the enemy transport. 6-8 people not working as a team and getting killed time after time again. Sorry I had to rant. But the key to CTF is teamwork, which JK2 players oftenly don't do well. I wish I had another FPS where I could play CTF...

K_Kinnison Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Well, i had my own experiance. I get in the game, and immidiatly go on the attack. I grab the flag, run to my base, and for 10 minutes i am running around keeping that flag. Finally i get teamed up by 3 people, and get killed. "am i the only one attacking?" no response except form the other team "Yep" The oppsoing team had 4 players working as a grou, 2 attackers, 2 defenders. and it was capture.. .grab, capture, grab. I got so fed up with it. becuase normally after i cap i will defend and someone else should be ready to grab the flag. i could have been the map tho to garrison 27-d.. man i hate that one... bacta and large shield right in the flag area, as well as multiple areas to run to and from.

Kurgan Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Yeah, it seems like sadly, too many players only know how to have saber duels, but can't work as a team. When you get people who know what they're doing and work decent together, CTF (especially in the SW universe) can be the coolest and most fun time ever...

Admiral Derski Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Well thats all ive ever played is CTF, but I never updated from 1.02 because I got tired of trying to learn how to play the game all over again as soon as I got used to it, and sadly there are exactly 0 1.02 CTF servers left. every now and again I can find one but its usually people too new to the game to know to patch it and theres no challenge for me.

Elijah Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Not to brag but I Win about 90% of the time... i can mostly take on a 5-1 match and win which gives me and advantage in CTF. (dont get me wrong, i lose often but thats becuse i play AAAAAAAALOOOOOOOOOT) I Do Agree that when you have guards and at least 1-2 people guarding your back as you run really helps.

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Having a set of defender won't win you a game. The problem is most defenders think that once the enemy carrier has escaped the base they can just stand around doing nothing. The fact is, attackers are busy keeping their own flag carrier alive and hence too busy to chase the enemy carrier. Winning CTF isn't just about sticking to your position, but knowing when to leave it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoshi Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 CTF on JK2 is just about dead now anyways. Almost every JK2 CTF team on TWL has resigned or is inactive. if you wanna play ctf now dont expect to play against anyone but n00bs. most of the old clansmen can now be found on the SOB UT2K3 CTF server. cya there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Silver:. Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Aside from Yoshi's helpful comment, the best thing a person new to the game of ctf can do is to get used to running while looking in all directions. This may seems small but I have constantly caught players by surprise when they thought I did not know they were there. And as a rule, never be more than 2 seconds away from the flag stand at any time if you have the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Whore Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 i've just started play jk2 and ctf is sad indeed, i used to play TFC and ppl on there would acually work together and the game would be great but with jk2 its just like ffa with everyone going for the highest frag its dam annoying. I now almost never play CTF because of ppl who dont work as a team it just spoils the game dam noobs r annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
