I removed the following sentences from the FPS/CTF section:

Compared to deathmatch CTF often features some sort of transportation tool. It can be used to travel faster and to reach areas which the player wouldn't be able to reach without a transportation tool.

What does that mean? I'm picturing vehicles, teleports, jetpacks, rocketjumping, etc., but I don't see that those things are characteristic of CTF. --Mrwojo 22:22, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The transportation tool is usually the size of a normal gun. You use it by firing a Transportation Module somewhere. When you want to use it to move, it brings you to whereever the TM is. In Unreal Tournament its called a translocator. LUDRAMAN | T 17:07, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Is the children's game simply a race to move the flag, or does each team have some mechanism (such as rugby tackles? :P) to hinder the opposition? Lupin 20:23, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

When we played, we divided the playfield into two areas, each with a flag and a jail. You could tag someone from the opposite team in your territory and escort them to Jail. They could only be freed by a member of their own team (untagged) running through the jail area. Sometimes we'd hide the jail as carefully as we hid the flag.

Norwich Rules

The Norwich Rules don't make any sense. I have never herd of them and the explanation is too rushed to distill what this variation is. Could someone who understands this variation please help?

I think some kids in Norwich decided to play this way and then added to this page as a vanity. Notice the non-NPOV statement: "...making this game drastically better." mann mosenthal "capture the flag" gets nine hits on google that all look the same. I'm for deleting it, as I am going to do now. - Zepheus 23:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added Rules For Capture the Flag

Added rules to the Urban gaming section of the site. A similar set should probably be added for the childres game. Including a Jail.

I have reverted the list of rules. WP:NOT a howto, nor an FAQ. The list, as it is, contains elements that violate the neutral point of view, and are not written in an encyclopedic way.--Drat (Talk) 06:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
