Use your eyes! Don’t charge the flag. Just because you have a clear view of the flag doesn’t mean you should run after it. Especially in a game without radar, you must be mindful of how many enemies will be around and where they will come back to life (respawn).
* Communicate with your teammates. How many enemies are dead? Where are the remaining enemies?
* If most of the enemies are dead, which way should I go in to the enemy base to grab the flag?
* Once you have the flag, know which way you should be running it ahead of time.
If you’re clear about where you want to go ahead of time, and you know that you’ve successfully taken down the enemy, you should be able to go in, grab the flag and run it away from the enemy base with little trouble. Remember, sometimes an enemy will spawn in a bad place and take you down, but that doesn’t mean your team didn’t do a good job of setting up a successful flag steal.

Timing is key when stealing an opponent’s flag.
