As the winner of the 2017 CTF Summer Tournament, I would like to impart some of my game knowledge to you. You are reading the strategy that won my team the game, as unlikely as it would have seemed at the time.
The primary objective: capture the enemy's flag more than they can yours. How? Do it by Brute Force or Sneaking while Defending.
OK, so, how to take the flag by Brute Force? Go through the shortest route to their flag and kill anyone in the way. Take the flag and move back, killing anyone in the way. There are many ways of killing the enemy; they will be taken into account later.
How to take the flag by Sneaking? Go through the longest, hidden, or unprotected route to their flag while avoiding or sneak-attacking the enemy. Set traps along the way, and be alert for enemy traps. Take the flag and move back through an unoccupied route.
What are the effects of using either strategy? Brute Force is good against weaker players and, at the same time, eliminates some of those trying to take your flag. However, it is only useful as a defensive tactic against stronger opponents, as it just slows down their advances. We will discuss strength later. Sneaking allows you to avoid stronger players and take their flag without them stopping you. However, this strategy offers no defense, and so must be used only in certain situations. There is a chance you will be found by the enemy and killed, and your plans would be discovered.
So what about Defense? Stay near your flag and kill those who come near it, set traps, and create obstacles and favorable environment, basically. The Defense strategy counters Sneaking and weak Brute Forcing, but is futile against stronger opponents.
So which strategy is the best to use? The Brute Force strategy is the recommended one to use is most situations, since it is both offensive and defensive. Once you die, though, you have failed, and, depending on the enemy's position and tactic, you may have to change your strategy. If the enemy is using weak Brute Force anywhere, then continue using Brute Force. If the enemy is using strong Brute Force at his territory, then it is safe to continue using Brute Force, although setting up defenses first is a good idea. You could also Sneak here. If the enemy is using strong Brute Force at your territory, then it is best to quickly set some defenses, then proceed with Brute Force. If the enemy is Sneaking at his territory, then you can just Brute Force to the flag. Make sure you have set some defenses beforehand! If the enemy is Sneaking at your territory, then Defend. If the enemy is Defending, then, either Sneak to find a weak point then use Brute Force, or just Brute Force your way through. If the enemy's Defense is too strong, then a stalemate is reached.
It is important to play by these concepts at all times, as not doing so will usually cause you to lose.
