It's an average night at home. Feeling bored, you decide to hop onto some Team Fortress 2 servers with Spy. However, there's only one server up, and when joining, things don't look as wacky or hat-filled as a regular match... But then the server locks you in. And the only way to escape is ending the round.Just know one thing: the player list might be empty, but you're sure as hell not alone here.Capture The Intelligence is a Team Fortress 2 fan game by nixilz documenting an unfortunate BLU Spys experience as he's thrust into a nightmarish Capture the Flag match.The game also has a Tower Mode consisting of random enemies on each floor, including exclusive enemies, and a custom mode.Tropes include:

Madness Mantra: the Engineer tends to repeat "Well don't that beat all" in scattered pieces throughout the server room. Beating Tower Mode would reveal this was one of the last things he said before Heavy killed him.

Single-Use Shield: Every nine levels in Tower Mode, you get a Dead Ringer. Its ability to fake your death functions as a lifeline that lets you avoid dying if you run into an enemy along with granting you invulnerability for a few seconds before making a loud noise that may alert sound-sensitive enemies, just like in the source game.

Mythology Gag
 Capture The Intelligence (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Each enemy's behavior actively recalls a certain tactic unique to that classes playstyle: The Spy himself has to sneak around and get to the objectives without getting caught, much like in a normal Capture the Flag match. The Heavy taunts the Spy when he gets away, showing that he's still the Boisterous Bruiser in canon. The Soldier attempts to pounce you when he sees you, bringing a Market Garden rocket jump to mind. The Snipers all wait for you to make the first move before firing, witch also explains why sprinting in their line of sight is a One-Hit Kill. The Pyro is an Advancing Boss of Doom, which brings to mind standard W+M1 tactics. Pyro is also paired up with the Sniper, and both are effective Spy counters, the Pyro in particular never stopping their pursuit of the Spy like an overeager spy-checker. The Medic only comes when alerted by either the Demoman, who's notorious for having the most loud screams, and the Scout, who's low health in game makes them more reliant on Medics. Whenever you shutdown a server, the Engineer teleports and rushes to the server to check up on it, like how a regular Engineer would react to a Spy sapping his buildings. The fact that he's the last enemy faced also references how Spies and Engineers are natural enemies and the popular Engineer tactic of intelligence-camping. Tower Mode references different parts of GMOD history. The Tower itself is stated to have risen after GMod Tower fell, The Rat Man is named after a similar myth involving a Stalker that roamed gm_construct's tunnels, The M.I.N.G.E is a mechanically-enchanced Mingebag, and the ARG Man is infamous for being a central piece in GMOD analog horror series. The Tower Mode ending also throws in more nods to class tactics: Engineer nearly killing the Medic might mirror how Medics are usually seen as the better alternative. Heavy showing up to save the Medic also references the strong bond the two have. And The Engineer is heavily associated with the intelligence, harkening to intel-camping once again.

Support Party Member: The Demoman. While he won't hunt you, he will alert the Medic to your position. Tower Mode has both Demoman and Snipers function as this. They only have a small chance to appear on any given floor as an obstacle, but as a trade-off, you won't be warned about them like the main threats before a floor begins, meaning you won't know if one's there until it's too late. There’s also the Pyro and the ARG Man who act more as walls and will never appear alone on floors.

Harmless Enemy: The Demoman is stationary and doesn't attack you at all, only make noises when you approach him, though the sounds will attract the likes of the Medic. The Tower exclusive enemy ARG Man serves a similar purpose, where approaching him will trigger a jumpscare that won't kill you but alert any other enemy on the level.

Villain Teleportation: The Engineer is the final enemy in the main story and teleports to a designated spot indicated by a red mark whenever a server is touched, so the Engineer will always end up in the same room as you when you do. This can be used against the Engineer if he's chasing you and you touch a server, forcing him to teleport away.
