[[Multi Flag CTF]] is the standard variant, where two teams compete for each other's flags.
===Assault===
In '''Assault''', which is a variant exclusive to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', teams alternate offense and defense every two minutes. One team needs to carry the enemy flag into the enemy base. The game variant has been replaced by [[Assault]] since ''[[Halo 2]]''. In '''Invasion CTF''', players only have five lives each.

'''Arena CTF''' (or '''CTF Pro''') is the game variant in which the friendly flag must be at home for players to score.
===1 Flag CTF===
'''[[1 Flag CTF]]''' is a variant where two teams alternate offense and defense of the flag.
===Neutral Flag===
A variant in which teams fight over a neutral flag to bring back to their respective base.

*If you decide to leave one player behind to guard the flag, find out if there is any available vehicles and park them over the flag. Using this strategy, you can blow away anyone attempting to grab the flag, because they will try to grab it and instead hop into a vehicle.
