TF2/Flag Game Types

The item_teamflag supports 5 separate game types, although some of them are broken and require workarounds to fully function correctly.

List of Game Types

CTF

The ctf_2fort / ctf_well style game type, take the flag from the enemy base to your own.

• Return timer? Yes
• Pickup own flag? No
• Pickup enemy flag? Yes
• Pickup neutral flags? Yes
• Capture in own zone? Yes
• Capture in enemy zone? No
• Capture in neutral zone? Yes
• Carrier Speed penalty? None
• Announcer sounds? Yes
• Scoring system? 1 capture points for each capture
• Messages to flag carrier

"(player name) picked up the intelligence!"
"The ENEMY INTELLIGENCE was dropped!"
"Take the INTELLIGENCE back to YOUR BASE"
"Your team CAPTURED the ENEMY INTELLIGENCE!"
"(player name) captured the intelligence!"

Attack/Defend

Gameplay similar to TFC's Canalzone2. One team tries to capture command points with the flag while the other defends their command points until the time runs out.

• Return timer? Yes
• Pickup own flag? Yes
• Pickup enemy flag? No
• Pickup neutral flags? No
• Capture in own zone? Yes
• Capture in enemy zone? No
• Capture in neutral zone? Yes
• Carrier Speed penalty? 50% reduction
• Missing announcer sounds
• Scoring system? 30 kills added to carriers tally for each capture, but no actual points are added
• Messages to flag carrier on screen:

"Take the flag to the Command Point"
"You secured Command Point 1!"
"Attackers Secured Command Point !!"

This gameplay mode mostly works, but it does have some minor bugs:

• The In-Game messages to the flag carrier tell the player to take their "flag" to the next command point, but you have to use the briefcase model.
• The command points numbers only work in the attackers in the captures messages ("You secured Command Point 1"), not for the directions to the next capture point messages ("Take the flag to the Command Point" rather then "Take the flag to the Command Point 1") or the Defenders loss of capture point messages ("Attackers Secured Command Point !!").
• Broken scoring system that adds 30 kills to the "Kills" tally of the player that captures a command point, but actuall no points to their score.
