One more nwCTF cup for the good old UT2004! Check ClanBase Hosted Cups section. Already 15 clans registered, nice.

There are clans still looking for players... I'll go with MXS if they sign up but if not I have to find something else. I also noticed there is still some activity in the #ctf.pickup

OMG, I just finished playing this map for the first time and I have to say out of all the in-game CTFs and custom CTFs I downloaded, I believe this is my favorite. It has a huge layout with lots and lots of z-axis and a little mystery about where the fuck you are if you don't know the map, great AVA, and good weapon/item placement; my bots can actually defend also.

Played a ton of maps today and there were actually some players that could play ctf, mooneye was there to and kicking ass.

Only hydrosis blowed, but that's more because ALL 8 players on red stood in the base, I got like 6 megakills but never even got to the door of red base, I did get a hattrick and a combo king+rocket scientist so it's all good heheh

Seems to be well crowded

Running the flag home is one of the hardest jobs in Unreal Tournament, so you need to prepare yourself before you go for it.

First of all, you need to stack up. Learn the maps and know where the shieldbelt, shieldwest, keg of health and health vials are and learn the fastest route to grab them so when you are ready for the flagrun you are maxed out on shield and health.

When going for the flag DO NOT fight people around the flag of and then try and grab the flag this will not work. On most maps, players you kill will spawn in the base again with full health ready to take you down. You need to learn how to be sneaky and stealthy, sneak in, throw your translocator at the flag and get the hell out, DO NOT fight, just haul ass and spam like hell behind you, in order to do that, you need to learn how to run backwards, or just quickly flip 180 degress to fling a loaded cluster of rockets behind you and then turn and run, never stopping.

If you get hurt on the way and are low on health, don't spend time stacking up, just suicide (type suicide in the console or rocket yourself to death) and then stack up, no point in using health vials to get to 100 health when you get that just by respawning, THEN you can pick up vials and shield, remember, in CTF all that matters are capping the flag, kills won't gain you anything, there's no point in being the high scorer when your team lost the match. Also remember that capping flags earns you many more points than killing players, if you cap all the flags you will probably have the highest score anyway.

Looks realy nice, can't wait to get a few more decent CTF maps, there's only 3 good ones in the default map list and CTF-Grendelkeep was always one of my favorite maps, can't wait to play this in Unreal Tournament 3
