So I was just on the minecraft wiiki (I know most stuff there can be edited by others people) and I came across a rather intresting thing when I was looking at game modes in the wiki, I saw a mode called -Capture the flag-, in it it said that it was stated at Minecon captured the flag would be first in the xbox 360 version before the pc and pocket edition
So what are everyones thoughts on this? Seems like a neat idea but idk what to think about it.
Dah best song everz!!!!!!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO CLICK IT! So what are you waiting for? Okay dont click it and be left out on a epic song... yea you dont want that SO CLICK IT!

I'd have to agree. Don't really see the point in CTF for MC. Although it'll help those people who are interested in the games side of it.
CTF is a PvP game. People on PC play CTF, usually with wool. It can be a lot of fun with friends. Also, Minecraft isn't about building and creating only. It's a sandbox game. It can be anything you want it to be.
I would like CTF, if only to use the flag. If you look at the Mine & Blade mod for PC, you can make different banners with different types of wool, making different flag designs. I got this from the topic:
But anyways, those flags could be on certain teams, and with armor dying possibly in the future, actual team CTF may be a reality (as opposed to leather vs. gold stealing red and yellow wool.)
On a side note, I'd pay for this to be a DLC expansion.
i actauly kinda already had an idea for minecraft like this. my idea was since xbox was kind of a multiplayer game, they (4j) would release a new gamemode (like ctf, battle dome,hunger games, something like that) and a map that goes with it every week, and that would be cool because xbox is more of a multiplayer game

No premade maps... Maybe if adventure mode comes around we can share user-made maps for it.
maybe a line down the middle (some sort of colored wool) that once player R crosses the line, player B can hit him, and it will teleport him back to his side. eh?
Edit: oh and force the block out of his hand if he got it
For those of us who would actually like to have CTF, lets discuss how it might work.
Here are some of my ideas.
Rules: (followed by reason)
1. Need at least 2 players to start or play a map. (playing by yourself is pointless)
2. Only 2 teams (keeping it simple)
3. Survival rules apply. (Would we want it any other way?)
4. Capture enemy flag and carry it back to your teams flag to win. (This is how CTF works right?)
5. Flag must be placed above sea level. (I not going to play if everyone buries their flag deep in the ground)
6. No skipping the night by sleeping. (Ha! Skipping the night would require opposing sides to cooperate)
7. Respawn has delay. (This way you have a chance to grab the flag before your enemy can respawn)
8. Blocks placed by the other team take longer to mine. (20 min to build a wall 3 sec to mine though it)
Special Features (reason)
1. A peaceable flag for each team (obviously)
2. A craft-able flag detector/ radar (to help your team find the other flag)
3. A craft-able alarm system (to warn you when your flag has been taken
I remember playing CTF like they did in the stone age with rocks out in woods. It was one of my favorite games as a kid.
I was attracted to Minecraft because it gives you the ability to build anything you want and I always wanted to build the perfect fort.
CTF in Mincraft would allow players to combine their building creativity and battle strategies in a unique way. I can see players scratching their heads trying to figure out how to get to that flag in the middle of a lava lake without being spotted by the archer in the tower. Its an experience that CoD will never be able to offer.

Thats what I was thinking too lol.

2fort from team fortress 2 .
Also just because Cod has CTF doesn't mean it's going to be just like that . CTF is fun especially now that we can sprint .
Anyways CTF would be awesome , if you think otherwise its probably because you wouldn't know what to do with it
Edit: oh and force the block out of his hand if he got it
You realize that if CTF mode is implemented YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY!!!!And how exactly it a bad idea?
That awesome castle you built in Creative Mode will not be affected. CTF simply gives us the option to play with an objective.

Retired StaffWhy do all users in this section relate every single FPS-originated gamemode to Call of Duty. CTF was around years before CoD was even thought of.
With all of this CoD talk, I strongly believe the majority of this sub-forum's users can't be a day over 14 years old.
