Lack of support in Unreal Tournament 2004

A official VCTF map for Unreal Tournament 2004 has never been released. The gametype didn't show up until there was a VCTF map placed in the maps folder or the patch 3355 was installed. Although all of this obstacles the gametype got quite popular and gained many maps, although the quality of many is disputed.

Flag transportation in vehicles

In general a flag carrier may enter a vehicle, however there are some restrictions. If a flag carrier enters a Manta, Raptor or Ciccada he automatically drops the flag for balancing reasons. However there is a way to get around this restriction: a player can stand on top of a Manta while another player is driving it. This is a so called Manta run.
