Team Fortress Classic Hints

How should we defend our flag?

  • 1 of 4: First and foremost, try to save your grate from destruction.  This is one of the easiest ways into your base.  If it is destroyed, have an engineer place a sentry at the exit of the water tunnel, in the open water in the flag room, to cover that method of entry.
  • 2 of 4: Secondly, have some engineers set up some sentry guns around the entrances to the flag room and one in the actual flag area.  One in the water (as mentioned before) works well too, since many people just jump off into the water regardless of whether or not they will take the water way out.
  • 3 of 4: Have an HWGuy or a demoman stand guard while one of the engineers keeps watch over all of the sentry guns.  Keep the rest of the engineers elsewhere, perhaps on offense, to prevent confusion from disguised spies.
  • 4 of 4: Demomen should grenade-trap the flag compartment in case anyone does get in there.
