Something about CTF is just classic.  It's like slayer, but with a little more organization.  You always spawn at your team's base, rather than random. 

Race is my 2nd favorite so far because it can never be perfect.  It needs rules or chaos ensues.  I like the sniper, but sadly not everyone knows how to use it properly without camping.  CTF assumes no rules and really doesn't need much 'directing'.

well as i'm NOT in a racing clan, or trying to be in one... i guess an opinion that isnt biast off the scale is in order..


because, it generally depends as to what sort of player you are, if you're a frantic, run around shooting everything, then Slayer would be good for you, if you're a person who likes stratagy and teamwork, CTF or King of the Hill would be your strong suit, and if you want to halo team oddball, or regular oddball, it really depends as to how crazy the game can get, because 16 man FFA oddball on chillout is crazily fun, at times.


But i guess my vote goes to CTF, because mainly, it's rule free mostly, means you have one goal: Get the enemy flag to your base as many times as possible to win. this may seem primative but with certain aspects of the game tweaked a bit, along with the physics then it can be extremely fun alot of the time.

INferno.

I wonder what a race scrim (with all experienced players) would be like if all strategies were acceptable.  In normal play it's just downright frustrating to have campers, but it would be a great strategy if both teams were doing it constructively.  I imagine navs would be quite valuable, and it's not like you can drop them like a flag in CTF.  It might go on for as long as the real awesome gulch CTFs go on for (which could be like an hour or more on a full 16 person server).

In a sense it would actually be a lot like some kind of a modified TEAM CTF.  It still has flags (some people call em that).  It would require a lot of communication and team effort.  I imagine some complicated strategies would develop.

I'll just keep wondering!  =]

P.S.  Race Rally is a lot like King, or at least it could be played that way (and that's the best strategy in my opinion - camping at known flag spawn locations).  ;)

i would have to say CTF
Getting those points when you cap the flag is so satisfying
Also its because it was the first multi type i  ever played
