Would you like a TRUE Capture the Flag game type? Over 1,300 Supporters!!!!

[The Munkey]

It should be capture the thrashball instead!

In fact they should just call the mode "thrashball". Put a couple of goals on either side of the map... eh?!?!?

[Baltar]

Always thought classic CTF is the best multiplayer mode of any game ever. I vote yes. Nothing as simple and elegant as.. They got something over there we want.. lets get it, and kill anyone on the way there and on the way back

You get a yes vote, sir.

Obvious gameplay tweaks would have to be enacted (flag carrier gets like a limited roadie run or something, I'd think)

[Scuba Steb]

if you did have a ctf mode the flag carrier surely wouldnt be able to shoot or roadie run, simply because of how small and square some of the maps are. unless CTF was only playable on certain maps.

i would love a CTF mode though the only reason i played MW2 for so long was CTF, but camping on that game really is an issue.

[Fyre]

i want attack and defend dammit!!!!

[Porshapwr]

Thank you everyone for your replies. As expected, a good majority of players would love to see this. Let's keep it going.

[eVo suicide]

Would be a good addition

[Swedish Dante]

Sure and they could release it but I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft will charge us for it...

[Blindfire21]

I like the idea. It sounds like a more strategic gametype for gears............ I'll vote yes

[XX C Mox xx]

I just want to say, stop trying to turn GOW into Halo or Call of Duty. Gears had a CTF, it was called Submission (which has now being incorporated into Capture the Leader...which if you think about it "Capture the Flag" and "Capture the Leader" basically have the same syntax). Granted it's not multi-flag like halo (since your flag is mobile), but it's still the closest Gears needs to get to a CTF mode.

TDM is the highlight of this game, and tons of people will be playing it. They've already changed enough around, they're not going to add another gametype, and they shouldn't, as it's not needed. Every shooter on the market doesn't need to conform to all the other shooters (if that was the case, Gears probably wouldn't even exist).

[LittleSatan]

It doesnt sound too bad, but i cant help but think about how much stopping power might affect the flag carrier, even if it is the teams objecive to protect the carrier.

[xDIxLaRoCkO]

Yes the more gametypes the better imo

[Elsambo]

Would be amazing, if its played correctly

[Porshapwr]

Thank you guys. Let's keep it going.

[ZzZ BrikHog]

Yes, A CTF or Bomb gametype would be amazing.

[Porshapwr]

Bumping for exposure.

[Pandut]

I still say yay. CTF would be insane on Gears .

[xDIxLaRoCkO]

absolutley would be fun change

[Luigi649]

while it would be very awesome there would be major flaws to it. All you need is one person retro lancer charging to the capure point while 2 people cover him and they win the game easily

[Porshapwr]

I don't think a simple retro lance charge and 2 people are going to win anything easily. The retro charge is very easy to counter.

[Porshapwr]

KOTH is obviously a game type that's enjoyed - it's running the 2nd highest population to TDM.

CTL typically has less than 1,000 people playing it in ranked the past few days. I think that really says it all. Let's keep asking for an objective game type that could truly have a solid population playing it.

[iFail]

Being a long term UT player, I would love to see a CTF mode in Gears of War 3, I reckon it could work very well.

10 agreeds!!

[Medevacs wXs]

I completely agree and have been wishing this would be in gears since gears 1. I also have said there that you should be able to "charge" with the flag. Kinda like the retro charge in gears 3. Plus add a regular excution and I would ALWAYS play this game type. Still I think it should be just 2 rounds, with first to 2 caps. Yes gears can be a fast game, but if you have 2 teams that know how to use there lancers and shottys right. THen games can drag on, which is the kinda gears I LOVE. Don't get me wrong I love capture the leader, and me and my friends play on a regular basis. It's just one of those game types that can go on for a while and be a nial biting process of what to do when. Still a CTF gametype would just be amazing, I also agree with the slower run speed. You should run as slow as you do if you are holding a boomshield. I think you should be able to put the flag down though if you want to use your rifle or shotgun. Just to give people more options and add more tactics to the mode that be can use. Also this gametype would be amazing for MLG. PLEASE epic make a CTF

[Porshapwr]

Agreed on all fronts. Thanks for the support bro - pass the word. Let's keep this going.

[Leospartan30o]

Not before a Bomb gametype.

^_^ I say this

omg, imagine the gore in this type...

[TehRe4per]

hey anything that gives this game variety i hate how little gametypes their are

[Porshapwr]

Variety is much needed IMO. Warzone is just TDM with limited lives. Execution at 3 rounds isn't worthwhile anymore. Really the only modes for 5 on 5 are TDM, KOTH, and CTL. And CTL frankly............sucks.

[xemplifyy]

Even if this wouldn't be my personal favorite gametype to be added (Guardian first in my opinion), I can't say I wouldn't at least give it a shot. CTF gametypes have been done pretty poorly in other shooters, but if it was done well, I could definitely see myself playing it quite a bit. I'll vote yes on the hopes that if it's added, it's implemented well.

Thanks bro.


And IMO, I would change CTL back to Guardian (which has been requested by many, many people) and add CTF. That way we get the best of both worlds - the best Gears objective mode along with the best MP objective mode.

[Porshapwr]

140+ supporters and still climbing.

[Porshapwr]

Friendly bumpity.

[dwk]

The reason I voted No is because Objective games are already low in number of players and adding another Objective mode that shares some similarities with capture the leader would just spread the numbers even lower and IMO would be pointless and do more harm than good.

[Forty]

yes i agree !

[Porshapwr]

Thanks for your opinion. That said, KOTH actually is 2nd in players out of all the modes only behind Team Deathmatch. It has substantially more players than Execution, Warzone, and Wingman on a daily basis.

Also, let's face facts - Capture the Leader is a disappointment. It loses every poll on here and it's playlist population is incredibly low. It's just not a good game type.

[IXxRolandxXI]

Great idea Porsha, you know I'm down with this. With the loss of Guardian CTF would be right up my alley. Some of my fondest MP nights have been in CTF playlists. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure CTF would be all I'd play.

@ some of the people who said CTL is close enough to CTF, I have to disagree. These two play lists would be worlds apart. Standing and holding the leader wouldn't have the same tension filled game play that trying to score that last flag to win would. Imo of course.

[TheWickedEnd]

Would be great but only if they gave us bigger maps for this specific mode ><

Indeed. And absolutely it would be all I play with TDM.

This is Gears though - close brutal combat (most of the time). Attack/Defend style could be epic.

[Nayr]

Gears needs better spawns for CTF to work. I've always liked the idea, Epic just doesn't want to do traditional gametypes, except for TDM, which they put their own annoying spin on.

[-Raven-]

No just because I greatly prefer Epic putting their own twists on gametypes. After all, I still think Submission was the greatest gametype to ever have been created but it was killed by its own community when they figured out that you can just plant mines near spawn and farm players.

[__Blaz0__]

Actually, I'm kind of shocked that Gears never had a CTF gametype seeing as how great fun it always was in Unreal games. I would love to see one.
