You could use MatchMod
http://www.planetquake.com/matchmod/

or Lithium:
http://www.planetquake.com/lithium/

or even WoD 8:
http://www.planetquake.com/wod/wod%208%20docs/index.html
http://www.planetquake.com/wod/runserver8.html
http://www.planetquake.com/wod/files.html

None of these mods requires special maps. Make sure all your players have 
the CTF maps in the directory for the mod you choose (e.g. 
Quake2/lithium/maps) and start the server with something like:

quake2 +set ctf 1 +set game lithium +set dmflags 4 +map q2ctf2

The maps and player models are usually found in your CTF folder in the file 
pak0.pak. Have fun.
