Keep the enemy from ever touching the flag in the first place by blowing them up before they're able to drop down!

 Defenders in the Flag Room can see who's coming though the Water Route via the windows directly across from where attackers land right after they get the flag. Attackers can't see through the window on their side, so this is a great way to catch attackers off-guard with a Pipe Trap or HWguy right in front of Water Route's exit.

+Dropdown takes place in snowy Maine, where Red and Blue have decided to test new anti-gravity technology by having a game of CTF where the flag is floating in a long chute.
 Dropdown is normal CTF, but with a few twists regarding how to get the flag. In Dropdown, the flag (which is in a long chute that leads to the basement) can only be accessed via an entrance near the spawn room. The doors leading to it are closed, but a security switch can be flipped to briefly open up the doors, allowing anyone to get the flag. Once the flag has been stolen, the flag runner must get out of the enemy's basement and run back to the capture point in his base.

 Defenders should focus their first line of defense, such as Snipers and a Soldier or HWguy. This is a good location for Snipers (especially Rambo ones), as their Auto Rifle works very well in it's cramped space, the stairs leading to the Ramp can be used to avoid enemy Snipers, and it allows them to get a good shot of incoming defenders. They usually won't get a headshot here, but they can tag enemies, allowing fellow defenders to track where an attacker is going.
