Scenario Type: Capture the Flag
Size: 12 Vs 12
Time Limit: 15 minutes
Victory Conditions: 500 points
Scoring: 75 points for each flag capture, 2 points per player kill.
Overview
This is another classic battle of Capture the Flag, with each side holding a single flag. You need to grab the enemy’s flag and bring it back to your flag, which must be sitting in its home spot, to earn points. You can gain victory points with player kills, but it takes flag captures to win before the time limit expires. The terrain is set up so the direct route to its flag is down the middle (very risky because everyone can see you and it’s easy for them to engage you). Side routes along the borders offer unique opportunities and challenges.
Order Strategy
The number-one rule: Work together as a team. If you go running off on your own, you simply weaken the group’s strength in numbers. You will either be staging a run on the enemy’s flag or defending your own flag at all times; do not get caught in the middle of the map, even though this avenue might seem the quickest. Your spawn point is in the southeast corner, so take the eastern ledge to reach the enemy’s flag quickest. Use that same route to return, unless the enemy has it bottled up; in that case, run along the western path. Always keep an eye on what’s going on around your
flag and try to spot the enemy’s position on the opposite paths to alert your team of incoming attacks.
Destruction Strategy
The number-one rule: Work together as a team. If you go running off on your own, you simply weaken the group’s strength in numbers. You will either be staging a run on the enemy’s flag or defending your own flag at all times; do not get caught in the middle of the map, even though this avenue might seem the quickest. Your spawn point is in the northwest corner, so take the western ledge to reach the enemy’s flag quickest. Use that same route to return, unless the enemy has it bottled up; in that case, run along the eastern path. Always keep an eye out on what’s going on around
your flag and try to spot the enemy’s position on the opposite paths to alert your team of incoming attacks.
RvR Tip: Don’t be afraid of dying in scenarios. You will, but there’s no penalty if you’re killed by a player.
Fixxer’s Tip: Keep an eye on that flag at all times and drop the enemy flag to the right spot.
