Capture the Flag Tutorial

This two-team Capture the Flag game can be played with up to 12 players on each team. The first team to capture a flag three times wins the match. If no team has three captures during a 60-minute period, the team with the most eliminations will be declared the winner.

This game example also features classes that a player can choose when they spawn. Different classes have different abilities, equipment, and items. Players can change their class any time they respawn.
