The point of CTF is to get into your enemies' base, grab their flag (by right clicking it with an empty hand), and take it back to your base. Capture The Flag is a gamemode that involves a lot more planning and strategy, rather than the straightforward killing presented in team deathmatch. Tactics vary between arenas.
In Capture the Flag, both teams are trying to rush to the other team's base to steal the flag while also keeping defenders on guard to protect their own flag. To grab a flag, you must right click it with an empty hand, then bring it back to your base and capture it the same way.

Infection contains 2 teams: the survivors and the infected. The survivors' ultimate goal is to survive as a human for the duration of the game, and outlast the infected. The goal of the infected is to find and kill the survivors to bring more to their side. Survivors win by living until the round ends, and infected win by killing all the survivors.  
In Infection, Survivors must take shelter inside nooks and crannies littered throughout the map to survive the horde of Infected for roughly ten minutes. When a Survivor dies, they join the Infected in the hunt for Survivors. Survivors win by living until the round ends while infected win by killing all the survivors.
 
'''Warning:''' Make sure to follow our minigame rules on proper sportsmanship. If you become Infected, don't hunt down survivors whose locations you learned as a survivor unless their locations have been found by another Infected or they are the last survivors.

Communication is crucial in any form of team-based game modes. To properly communicate with your team, you should join the '''/discord''' server. If you're in the discord server's minigame call, a message will pop up when going into teams giving you the option to enter your teams own call. In CTF, always make sure your flag is properly defended. Some arenas are in the sky, and if the flag carrier falls to the ground, the flag will remain down there for a minute. During this time, the team whose flag has dropped can go entirely on all offense since they have no flag to defend. The opposing team would then (logically) go entirely on defense to compensate for the fact that the entire other team will be charging them. It's important to note that if the flag is dropped on a half slab, it will disappear, and will take a minute to respawn. Infection is primarily hide n' seek. The infected are a lot faster and stronger than the survivors are. Though it is possible to fight the infected, it's recommended that you don't to improve your chances of survival. Hiding provides better results.
