The mod which inspired dozens of copycats
There was a time in multiplayer first-person shooters when Capture The Flag modes were as ubiquitous as Battle Royales. Also like Battle Royales, it was a mod that was responsible for that ubiquity: Threewave CTF forQuake.
Now you can more easily play Threewave CTF again. Bethesda announced during Quakecon today that Threewave Capture The Flag was now part of their enhanced Quake release, with nine maps, the grappling hook and new improvements.

I never played Threewave CTF, but Capture The Flag was among my favourite ways to play Quake 2 and 3, and I think it remains a great mode in modern games. It’s great that this piece of gaming history is now more likely to be played, and nice to have an excuse to write about Threewave 26 years after it was first released. My fingers are crossed that Update 5 gives me an excuse to write about Quake Rally.
