instaGib CTF

[iki_xx]

I've just found out about this , and it is great!
There are a lot of custom maps made specifically for this mode/gameplay type. It's really fast , and really fun :D , but there are no servers to play on (found two in Europe, but they are mostly empty).
Anyway I'm so glad I've stumbled on this type of game. :)

There's two servers in the US that are pretty popular for iCTF:

Bubbaxm2's ZP Instagib CTF(Chicago) [ ut3://68.232.168.151:7777 ] (w/translocator)

THC igCTF Clan Server [ ut3://216.52.143.209:7777 ] (w/o translocator)

Also, you could sign up and create/join a team on the 3v3 ladder at Fraggednation.com

If you're in Europe, I think multiplay UK hosts a bunch of servers. They also have an irc channel with a pugbot on quakenet I believe.

Yeah ZP iCTF is amazing... only if there's a european server for it cuz i really hate ping shots :(

I'll put a UK iCTF server soon just need a lot of time uploading the maps at 20KBPS :D

Anyone knows some active European servers?
Also I've noticed that some players are soooo good , I can't believe it , it's like if he see you, you are dead. Few times I wanted to accuse them of cheating :D

I've setup a ZP Instagib CTF server located in the UK it's not active though just born 2 hours ago :p, IP 217.163.27.13:7777.

Maps to be ready soon :)

Hate insta ctf. I hate to get all the way across the map - which can take considerable time and effort - then see 3 enemies and kill 2, but still get sent all the way back to square one. I do notice a LOT of people seem to really like it, and I always see a lot of servers doing it, from NE US. Not sure where you're at, but there seems to be plenty of players and servers, you should be able to get a game most times.
Edit - just noticed you said europe. No idea bout that, but sounds like servers are comin at yah!

Well I was playing some custom maps made specifically for instGib CTF , and they are very small maps , so it doesn't take much time to go from one flag to other ( generally it's from 10-20 seconds from flag to flag)
That's why this game play is great, if fast and it's furious. :D
btw, it's way better than betrayal...

Thanks for the plug Shak!
Anyone that is going to be playing CTF for any amount of time should grab the map packs that Buzzardvc was nice enough to put together for the maps on my server. It will save you loads of time downloading..

I can be fun. I remember liking it when I was newer but I'm with Demon Slick now. I dunno... I feel like it takes a deep, complex, dynamic game and dumbs it down to what UT is sometimes stereotyped as (a twitch-only nearly-mindless game). So basically, no matter how good of a flag runner I am, any noob can kill me in a single shot vs. EARNING the kill with consistently good play and movement. Most levels are open and bland (ala barn burner and thorns) - little room for creative or sneaky flag running. Used to love it, but just can't stand it now :P

Whoever said it's bettery than Betrayal. You're right there :P. Betrayal was a lame attempt at a new game mode but it doesn't live up to Greed! >: )

dumbs it down... hehe smiles

it was all I ever played in 99 and still do on occasion, only played it when UT3 first came out and not many bothered to play ictf.

the difference is ictf teams have to play as teams, it was not uncommon in 99 clan wars to see the whole team pick up and hold flag on a flag run from base to base before it was capped, publics are little different but most player know they have to work as a team or lose, yes one player may stand out but without the cover and support of the team it will go back to square one.

ictf = team play, yes I have no doubt there will be ctf maps that are nothing but dm maps with flags on, not good really just look at those as what they are dm...

yes there are some very good players, we cannot say anything more...

Played tons of ICTF in UT2K4, along with IGDM/TDM. It can make for some intense, frantic games.

I haven't played much IG in UT3 due to the fact the stock IG rifle is kinda clunky - as was the 2K4 rifle - and as far as I know no one has come out with a replacement.

[Chaotic_Cannon]

well there is an iCTF ladder on www.fraggednation.com

All are welcome to throw a team in and get in the mix...

Frag on!
