What's the worst kind of CTF team mate?

The 'turret', stands still and shoots
4
7%
The pickup waster, inconsiderately picks everything up even when there's no reason why the enemy would get it and hence stops respawning team mates getting armed
16
28%
The bad camper, lasers himself into a useless position that's pretty obvious and gets shot up pretty quickly
4
7%
The kamakaze, attacks enemy base repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) without thinking of how he's going to get back, ignoring all health pickups and suggestions that teamwork would be more successful
1
2%
The confused player, doesn't really understand what team they're on and shoots everyone
5
9%
The player that has forgotten that CTF means Capture The Flag and just uses it to rack up a huge number of kills without aiding flag scoring
4
7%
The suicidal maniac who dents your teams score
1
2%
The dopey defender, he seems half asleep and won't notice the flag being pinched from right next to him, often works in groups
4
7%
The obstruction, if ever you need to get soemwhere fast, he's in the way
10
18%
The arrogant showoff, he takes the flag then tries to show off on the way back to the base by hanging around shooting at respawning players before being shotgunned as serves him right and loosing the flag

What's the worst kind of CTF team mate?

I'm sure everyone has seen players in CTF who they'd really like to not have as a team mate. What's the ones you don't like the most? If anyone has any other suggestions I'll add them to the poll.

This isn't supposed to be taking the piss out of new players, it's more seeing how people could improve their play by not adopting certain tactics.

I think the bad camper is what annoys me most. There are obviously some players that seem to fit into multiple categories of course.

I cannot count how many times I respawn on facingworlds and some guy who allready has an electro or machine gun goes to pick up the nex, when I have nothing. I fire some shotgun shots to see if he's such a noob that he fires back... the looser

Worst CTF player is, who doesn't actually know, he's playing CTF. All the above are max. irritating.

Set aside pure noobishness, everyones new at some point, what fraks up a ctf game more then anything, imo, is (resonable) skilled players who dosent communicate with their team. That and sloppy defense ;)
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it? :D
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.

The ones who take the weapons without even thinking about their teammates. That always bugs the crap outta me.

I chose pickup waster. Some of the other ones were just being new which can't really be counted as a fault unless they persist even when you've told them.

I have a certain kamikaze streak in me so can't say too much ;) but I do try and defend as well if I get back with the flag or spawn near the base. Truth is, though, that I'm not particularly good at defending so I feel my talents are better used creating a threat for the opposition than hanging around geting in the way of people like esteel, hafner and axioum who are good at it. Can't say as I've ever ignored health and weapons though.

Even I'M not that stupid :D

I HATE the confused players. When I come to think of it that's the number ONE issue why I hardly play CTF. I'm too lazy to help people, hehehe.

Hehe, I kinda like that.. especially if he damages himself shooting teammates is on. Then I just stand still and hope he's stupid enough to continue shooting me till he dies :)

There IS ONE guy doing it (trying to teamkill) on purpose.. Its bad when you get used to being shot but suddenly its the enemy shooting at you :). He seems to get off on annoying people.. that guy really needs to get a life.

But for the others its hard to find the ultimate bad thing. People grabbing everything without thinking about mates and those standing around like turrets would be very close to it. With 2.2.2 the telefrag no longer frags you so those standing on the teleporter spot are no longer a problem :)
