Capture the Flag in Modern Warfare 2 has evolved a bit from previous Call of Duty games. The only changes are that you can see which players are holding the flag, and now it takes 1 second to steal, and capture the flag. It has also been updated from the CTF version in World at War so that now its harder to be spawn killed by being spawned at the point furthest from your enemies and closest to the flag. Also, tiebreakers are settled by a sudden death overtime in which the first team to pick up the enemy flag wins the game. Many players will use riot shields to barge their way through to the flag and use tactical insertions when they get close. The perks that are used most are cloaking ones like cold-blooded or ninja. Also commonly used is the combination of marathon and lightweight giving the user unlimited sprint and faster sprint at the same time. Also used is commando while the player has a weapon with a tactical knife. This combination allows the user unlimited fast sprint while being able to stab at a large distance. Smoke grenades are particularly useful, being able to swoop in and steal the flag and make an exit inside the duration of the Smoke effect, providing there are no explosives or direct campers in the vicinity. Team co-ordination is vital in this game-mode. Although, it is possible to go solo so that the enemy team doesn't suspect anyone until you grabbed their flag. Marathon and lightweight should be used for this mode.
