Capture the Flag (CTF for short) is a game played by two or more sides, each of which is trying to capture the other's flag and return it to their base. The first side that accomplishes this a certain number of times, or scores the most captures within a designated period of time, wins. Variations include requiring that your flag be in your base before you can capture the enemy's, having a single flag that can only be captured by one team at a time, having multiple "bases" that must themselves be captured, and/or allowing players to be captured (or killed) as well as the flag. As a game mode, this is found in nearly every First-Person Shooter with multiplayer capabilities, many Real-Time Strategy games, and even some MMORPGs. The objective being fought over isn't always a flag, but can be any object that can be picked up and moved by players. If the developers in an FPS or RTS game don't include a Capture the Flag mode, you can bet that the community will quickly whip one up via Game Mods. In fact, this is how CTF was first introduced to video games. The flag generally has no capabilities of its own; it's not a weapon and brings no particular advantages to the team that holds it. In fact, many games will restrict the movement of the flag carrier, make him highly visible, make him unable to use a weapon while holding the flag, and/or increase the damage he takes, to encourage pursuit and discourage "keep away" tactics in which the carrier simply hides with the flag in order to deny victory to the enemy. In some games, the latter is even considered a form of Griefing. If the "flag" moves on its own and one side is protecting it, that's an Escort Mission. When the flag brings instant victory to the team that captures it, it's a Golden Snitch. |

Fat Princess has a rather odd take on this: as the title might suggest, the "flag" in this game is a princess, and you can fatten her up to make it harder for the opposing team to capture (or re-capture) her. | |

S4 League has Touchdown mode, which is a variant of CTF designed to look more like soccer. There's only one flag (or "ball" as the game calls it, in keeping with the ball game theme), placed initially in the center, anyone can take it, and it has to be taken to the enemy's goal rather than your own. Or in other words, very much like Unreal Tournament 2004's Bombing Run mode, which in that game is considered distinct from normal CTF. Yeah. | |

The Internet Historian covers an instance of flag capturing in this YouTube video: [1]. Shia LaBeouf grew disgusted by his public art project in Queens being subverted by trolls. So he put up a "He will not divide us" flag somewhere in the United States, and aimed a streaming camera at it. There was nothing but blue sky behind the flag, so no landmarks were visible. But as night fell, 4chan's /pol/ got busy, and noticed Polaris was almost directly behind the flagpole. Using social media, airline traffic routes and star charts, /pol/ deduced the flag was near Greeneville, Tennessee. Not long after, someone homed in on it, and the flag was replaced with a MAGA hat and Pepe the frog shirt, a mere 38 hours 14 minutes after the HWNDU flag was raised. | |

World of Warcraft has a few CTF battlegrounds. Warsong Gulch and Twin Peaks are fairly straightforward CTF, with the rule that you can't capture the enemy's flag unless your flag is at your base, and a time limit to prevent games from going on forever. The Eye of the Storm battleground combines this with control point gameplay, which makes it a resource race with the flag being a bonus; statistically you're better off taking and holding three or all of the four points than attempting a flag capture. Eye of the Storm is also different as there is only one neutral flag in the middle, rather than each side having one. |

An episode of Hey Dude! had the ranch hands engage in a covert, late-night game of capture the flag where the object was to run the enemy team's flag up a flagpole. It ended in a draw when the team captains ran headlong into each other at the finish line, knocking themselves out, and a sleepwalking Mr. Earnest forced them to call things off. | |

Pirates Vikings and Knights has a slight variation on the gamemode, in which several chests full of Booty have to be carried back to your base and kept there until your team's ticket counter reaches zero. The more chests you have in your base, the faster it goes down. Of course, the more chests your team has, the more likely it is that the other two teams are going to try and take them from you. | |

Overwatch didn't launch with one, but added "Capture the Rooster" as its featured mode for the Chinese New Year event in 2017 (which, despite the name, used the traditional flags), then playable only on Lijiang Tower and can be playable during the event only; it has since been added to the full game on the Bastion rework patch on March 2017, with the addition of other Control maps (Oasis, Nepal, and Ilios) as official CTF maps. The reason it lacked one to begin with was because mobility based heroes would have been Game Breakers, however the mode got around this by requiring a player to stay on the flag for a few seconds to capture it (giving the opposing team a chance to knock them off the point, instead of allowing Tracer or Genji to rush in and out with it). The Lunar New Year of 2018 (Year of the Dog) brought the mode back as part of the event, but this time with an official CTF map to go with it (previous versions were just reused Control maps). Along with this, the mode received balance changes so that the flag can now be picked up instantly, but using any movement abilities (Tracer's Blink, Lucio's Wall Ride, etc) would drop the flag. |

Atlas Reactor has a variant called Extraction: Both teams are competing to capture a single, neutral 'flag' (a briefcase) and bring it back to their extraction zone to win. Each team's extraction zone spawns when that team reaches 10 points (holding the flag for one round is a point, and killing an opposing team's freelancer is two points) on the opposite side of the map of their current location, and the flag has its own health bar which, when depleted, causes the carrier to drop it in his/her current square, allowing the other team to pick it up (this means you can't constantly heal/shield a single flag carrier ad infinitum). | |

Halo, like most modern FPS games, features it as a multiplayer mode. Later games introduce an inversion in the Assault gametype (teams trying to deliver a bomb into the enemy base) and the option of a single flag that the teams take turns guarding and attacking. Halo's CTF modenote And Marathon's, also made by Bungie, although that game did it with skulls is special in that smacking someone with the flag is a One-Hit Kill. However, in the Bungie-made games you cannot use any other weapons (you hold the flag in your hands, after all), so this is your only means of attack. Aggressively using the flag as a serious weapon is ill-advised. In the 343 Industries-made games, the Flag Carrier has access to an M6H Magnum with infinite ammo. However, there's a slight accuracy penalty (considering you're firing it one-handed while carrying the flag in the other hand), and when carrying the flag you can't use any Armor/Spartan abilities (especially Sprint, for obvious reasons). Melee attacks with the flag are still one-hit kills, though. While in Halo 4, the carrier could no longer voluntarily drop the flag so as to better defend themselves when attacked like they could in previous games, Halo 5: Guardians restored the ability to do so in response to fan outcry. Halo Infinite gets rid of the "Flagnum" and introduces a new feature: You can now sprint while holding the flag, but doing so reveals your position to the enemy, giving you a choice between a slower flag run vs. a faster but more visible one. Halo 4 onwards has featured an Ascended House Rules variant of CTF named "Husky Raid": Regular flag and player rules, but played on extremely narrow maps with random weapons on respawn. |

In a non-Videogame example, there's the short-lived cartoon Skeleton Warriors, which had a Power Crystal split in two instead of flags, with each side trying to obtain the other half of the crystal. | |

Capture the Flag: The main protagonist Mike and his two friends Amy and Marty frequently engage in Capture the Flag surfing competitions, but so far never managed to win. And of course, the main plot is about Mike, Amy and Mike's grandfather Frank going to the moon to secure the flag from the original Apollo XI team before Corrupt Corporate Executive Richard Carson can get it. | |

An early plot point in Red vs. Blue. Asking why the flag matters is apparently considered insubordination. After the Blue Flag is recovered near the end of the first season, the flags of the Blood Gulch bases are only ever brought up once later, when the Reds consider asking for it in a hostage negotiation but decide against it when the fear of taking it again would result in Tex kicking their asses to get it back like before. However, it's later parodied further with a group of Red and Blue grunts eternally fighting, dying, and being resurrected to fight over a flag, which is held as an object of religious worship, particularly by the Red Zealot (he was once stated to have asked someone if they've accepted The Flag as his personal savior). | |

Craig of the Creek: It's revealed that in "Ancients of the Creek" that the first game since the foundation of the Creek, a Capture the Flag game, ended up Gone Horribly Wrong to the point where it became an all-out war between different Creek kids, the Founders left the Creek, and the result of it became a mystery, which lead to Craig finding the flags used for the game in "The Last Game of Summer" before keeping them away from everyone. This all comes back in the Season 3 finale "Capture The Flag" special, when Craig uses the flags in form of a Godzilla Threshold to challenge King Xavier in a winner-takes-all for the liberation of the Creek from his tyranny. | |

Splatoon has two odd variations on the formula with its Rainmaker and Tower Control ranked modes. In Rainmaker, the eponymous Rainmaker sits on the center of the stage as a single "flag", with the objective being to take hold of it and carry it to the enemy base. The Rainmaker gives its holder access to a slow but powerful Charged Attack; however, it slows the holder down severely, constantly marks their location to opponents, and it self-destructs if they hold on to it for too long, doing it faster if they try to retreat. If no team manages to carry it all the way before time runs out, then the team that made the most progress to the enemy base with it is the victor. In Tower Control, the flag takes the form of a mobile tower at the center of the map. If a player jumps on top while there are no enemy players on it, the tower will move along a fixed path toward the goal; if no side occupies the tower for a few seconds, it will move back to the centre. As with Rainmaker, if neither team makes it all the way to the goal, the winner is whoever gets further. |

Team Fortress 2 uses an intelligence briefcase with unknown contents. Unlike most FPS games, a team's own intel doesn't need to be in the base to capture the enemies'. It also can't be returned as fast: it needs to be guarded where it was dropped. It also provides a brief buff for the team that manages to take it to their base: guaranteed Critical Hits for 10 seconds. | |

There are two versions: single-flag, where there is one flag in the middle of the field that both sides fight over, and two-flag, where each side has a flag at their home base that the other side must capture and bring home.

Loadout has Jackhammer mode, which presents an odd twist on the formula. The "flag" in this case is a massive sledgehammer, which is perfectly capable of being used as a weapon itself. The more kills the hammer racks up, the more points the team that captured it earns. It can only be used five times before it's depleted though. | |

Nexuiz, as a multiplayer game has this. However, the rules are different to most of the other incarnations of the gametype: your team can score both by capturing flags (25 points) and by fragging enemies (1 point per frag). This comes in handy at some maps such as Eggandbacon, where, in spite of its simple design, it's near impossible to get flags, so teams must rack up frags in order to increase their score. The same is true of Xonotic, its Spiritual Successor, although the game uses a classic flag-based scoring system instead of Nexuiz's frags+flags score system. |

An episode of Gundam Build Divers revolves around the titular team challenging a team of SD Gundam pilots to a match of Capture The Flag for the right to buy an expensive island base as their unit's home base. Notably the match was set up by the island base's previous owner, as he figured it was the only way to balance the Build Divers' higher firepower versus the SD Gundams' superior mobility. | |

The Unreal series has used this in every incarnation so far. Unreal Tournament III has a two-in-one Lampshade Hanging and Hand Wave: Reaper, the main character, is initially confused as to why their mercenary team is apparently playing a game. His sister and fellow merc Jester explains that the flags are actually Field Lattice Generators which power the teams' respawners, and if they capture enough of the enemy's FLaGs, it'll shut down the respawners for good and let them kill the enemy soldiers for real. Reaper's response? "It looks like a flag, it waves like a flag, it's a flag." | |

Star Wars Legends: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, in addition to your normal Capture the Flag, also has "Capture the Ysalamiri", a little reptile that nullifies the Force when in close proximity to it, which means you can't use your Force powers but nobody can use them against you either.
