Up to 4 teams
One flag per playing team (the flag should spawn only if someone is in the team).
Each team has a fixed spawn, and their flag spawns (and respawns) next to them.
Every flag, no matter what colour, can be taken by any player of whatever team.
The aim of the game is to have 2 players of the same team carry a flag into each other - when two flagcarriers collide, the team scores (1 point to the team). If a flagcarrier collides with a non-carried flag nothing happens. A player can't pick up 2 flags. When with more than 2 teams, it works the same - the colour of the flag doesn't matter (for instance: if red team loses red flag, but manages to take yellow and blue, they can score anyway)

This means a team is supposed to have someone pick up their flag and cover him, while others (or the whole group) goes around, kill the other(s) flag carrier, pick up the flag and go back to their flagcarrier to score.
This would require specific maps, but most maps could be modified quickly for the use.
Also an old suggestion: 4 way ctf, which is kind of similar to this, would totally pwn any mode :P

Meandor, that is one of the most beautiful ideas I've ever heard, 4 way ctf... Instead of everyone trying to get the flag, that might stress the importance of static defence, wich I've noticed is totally lacking on public servers.

Flag Collect sounds great!

Not sure about 4-way CTF tough. It doesn't sound that apealing to me. You'd also have to be damn many people on the server for it to be fun, at least 12+. Yet all classical CTF servers would play 4-way instead of normal CTF.

I dunno bout this as you would need at least 4 players for a game.

Acutally, you would need to be at least players for a game.
