I agree with ^FM, CTF is a game which enables you to encorporate all of the abilities while playing a very face paced team oriented game. I came for the sabering and learned quite a bit here at the JA in regards to Dueling, Gunning, and Force. My first pub CTF game was quite an eye opener as I chased a flag carrier with force speed only to watch him scale a wall and disappear out of site. I literally stopped and stared at the wall, dumbfounded. Since then I've learned how to wall run & hone several skills I learned here toward pub CTF games where you have to use them quickly and without thought. Although I have improved, similar to the others who have posted here, I have certainly not arrived. Within CTF gameplay there is so much spontaneity and such a diverse skill level in so many specialties, that it never ceases to amaze me. -Ian _______________ Member #7625 | Since 7.6.04 The Archives |

CTF owns! and then I am talking full true CTF, with guns and all. Fullmetal pretty much narrows it down. For me it's the fastpased gamespeed that I have so far only seen in JKA CTF. There is no other game on the market that can compete with the intensity and speed of JKA. Which is probably the reason why I still play CTF after two years. It's a shame so many people don't want to even bother to get into it because they are intimidated by the use of guns. All it takes is some knowledge of what you're doing and you are quickly well underway already. It's just the mindset to only want to use a lightsaber that has to be broken  .Edit: I am not listed in your list of players Fullmetal, damn you! _______________ ~ Honor is a fool's prize.

Hehe true ctf all the way Both gametypes have their advantages and disadvantages. However, in jka insta isnt all its cracked up to be. However insta definately eased me into the ctf gametype, all thoes late night insta games with MOTREC were an interest builder and when i couldn't find a public insta server, I decided to try the chopshop servers. There i discovered my love for ctf. If you ask a ctf'er why they like ctf, I think the answers will be very similar, the speed of gameplay, the teamwork involved, and the tactical aspects. In my opinion, no other gametype tests your knowledge of this game better than CTF. It combines all aspects of the game, Force, Sabers, Guns, and movement (granted siege is an anomoly of a gametype due to its unique movement system). Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to hold your own with saber in ctf, granted this requires a tremendous amount of skill, but it is possible (anyone remember Aiden D'Kana? He has played saber only P.U.G.s [Pick Up Games] and won them at that as the chase defense [The position that follows the enemy flag carrier and tries to return the flag]) Regardless of your ability to do this, I think you will find most ctf'ers understand the mechanics of sabers as well as any saberist, their abilit to apply this knowledege might not be as good but they still have it. For example, a ctf'er needs to know about counters and deflection posibilites, your saber is your friend while running away. Thoes who play ctf possibly have the mostknowledge of the movement system in jka (again not counting siege as its movement is different) It is an extremely fast paced gametype that requires knowledege of all movement aspects from basic running, to hardcore strafing with wall runs. As far as force goes, I started out as a saberist, and yet in all my time playing here I have never met anyone with more knowledge of the force than the ctf player by the name of Nico. granted in ctf there are players who know almost as much as him such as Tritoch, septimo, and jax. But for thoes of you who think godly aim is a necesity for ctf, you are wrong. Nico can't aim as well as jax, tritoch, or septimo (all three of whom get mid air shots as if they were nothing) But he is easily in their league because of his astonishing use of the force, and I am not just talking push pull, nico will swap back and forth between light side and dark side mid game, to get the full spectrum of the force. As far as guns go, anyone who thinks ctf can be played enjoyably with saber only is just silly You dont need godly aim, but you do need knowledge of guns, and you do need to realize in a gametype that has an easily accesible rocket launcher, people WILL go for the rocket launcher, in order to counter this, you have the force and movement. A good offense player knows how to combine all the aspects to stay alive Hoodwinker for example,at one point he was considered the fastest straffer in jka he is still an amazing offensive player, he can stay alive even against the most presisce of shooters. Disclaimer: I am not writting this post as a factual blog comming from an amazing player, trust me i am far from amazing, this is merely a subjective opinion on the gametype from someone who is a regular player of it, and who enjoys it alot _______________

i dont generally care, you are more likely to see me on an insta server (most likely the JA's). but i will play 'true' ctf if i really want a good ole CTF time. my vote goes to I dont Care. |
