As some of you might know CTFPL is having a Offense vs defense season instead of 10vs10. We are trying to build up the population again and at the same time train players that are inexperienced and want to learn. We think having a 5Vs5 type of season will be better practice for new comers and they will also get more play time. Currently we have 4 squads. The roster max of each team is I believe 12 or 14. We need some more captains to step up and run a squad. We are encouraging USLer's to step up and make a squad of there own players. If anyone has questions about what classes should be recruited and any questions at all really, Play styles/weapon combos/armor setups/key setups/macros etc you can ask anyone in CTFPL and I'm sure they would be more then happy to help you figure what ever it is you want to know out.

Im down, but im terrible at this zone.

Hey why do the plasma weapons do kinetic and not electronic, aren't they suppose to be the counter to carapace like in superior zone eol

Nose with the hard hitting questions

How many noses are you keeping, nos?

well to answer that question Nos. Energy weapons souly focus on energy dmg. In other zones you do not have generators. Once plasma weapons drain the energy and the Gen shuts off that is when they start to really do most of the dmg. Cara is mainly protected VS explosive dmg frags rifle grenades rpgs etc. P6 is more for dmg vs bullets AR rifles and other pistol/rifle dmg weapons. But it gets deeper, PF Gen has a faster energy reload rate. But in turn is weak VS explosive dmg/ strong VS ken dmg from assault rifles. IDF gen has a slower energy reload rate but has a stronger explosive dmg rate/weak VS rifle dmg. Being good at CTFPL really relies on awareness. Knowing who is already energy drained and focusing your fire on that person to take him out and then move on to the next. That's why on a 5 man defense we have 1 heavy 2 infs, 1 med to heal and tranq and 1 engineer to keep rets up to protect our flags and use electron beamer to drain the offense of energy. 1 D inf will most likely always use CAW which is an awesome draining weapon and doesn't really do dmg until the persons GEN is drained and is shut off. While the other inf has shotgun, both also have AR rifle if I may add. But ya the SG inf focuses on taking out the players who have been drained from the engineers EB and the other infs CAW. When a infantry is at 0 energy, 1 rifle grenade takes an inf from 60HP to 0. So If you can be aware enough to know who is drained and then focus on those players. You should be an effective player. The heavy is a passive class that really stays behind the D infs and provides heavy support. Micro missile launcher and Maklov AC cannon rounds. All explosive DMG. SO the heavy relies on the infs and the engy to do there job draining the offense of there energy to really do effect damage and be an important asset.

If anyone is interested in making a squad for this PL OVD season that consist of all USL players. I'd be more then happy to attend every one of your practices and help each individual person out with everything they need to get better at the zone. Once you learn how to play CTF it is addicting. I can almost guarantee you will not want to play anything else but CTF after really learning the ropes of the zone.

Please stop making MS talk.

There is a reason why back in 99/2000 CTF had a population of 2000 players most of the time and other zones had slim to none. Other zones were considered starter newb friendly zones. CTF was and will always be considered an advanced zone.

Thread is just dripping in autism

my head hurts just trying to read that.

Define slim to none.

thats a good way to get people from SK to switch over Dodge, call them all newbs and say their zone is inferior.

If ctf is so good why is it dead? It's a pretty boring zone and it is almost as simple as usl. All of the high skill or interesting zones died a long time ago rip faydon lake/kleos conquest/ca/fleet

Fleet is the only zone really worth playing

Faydon, kleos, and ca skill zones LOL

Connor canyon was the best zone

Atlantis zone was fun, so was rogue trader on CR. Best zone though was ctf:X with a population.

(and SUT)

thanks for the new kill macro
