Standard Control Point, also known as Linear or Symmetric Control Point, maps play symmetrically. Both teams start with an equal number of two controlled points and a central point that starts out controlled by neither team. The team that captures all the points wins. In standard Control Point maps, control points must be taken in an unbroken line (thus the "linear" in Linear Control Point). At the beginning of the round, each team's control points are locked while the center point is unlocked and can be taken. Once a team takes the center point, the opponent's nearest point unlocks and can now be taken as well. From then on, no more than two points can be unlocked at a time; taking a point locks the point behind it and unlocks the one in front of it if it exists. Control points close to a team's spawn point are captured more quickly by the enemy team.

Control Points (or 5cp) is the most commonly seen gamemode of any competitive 6v6 league. All 5cp maps are symmetrical, with a distinct blue and red side. A game starts with both teams owning their respective first two points, and a grey midpoint that signifies that neither team has captured it. To win, a team must capture every control point. And the further away from the midpoint you travel, the faster the point caps, which allows for "backcap" wins, when a player hides at his enemy's last point, waits for them to leave, and captures while they are away. This, however, can only be done when the preceding point is owned - it is impossible to go straight from middle to last, and vice versa.
