4. Right-click on shortcut, go to Properties
5. Add +game lmctf to the target. You must do this outside of the double-quoted target path. In my case, it looks like this:

"C:\Steam\steamapps\common\quake 2\r1q2.exe" +game lmctf

6. Click ok and you can now launch straight into LMCTF.

Command line parameters

Examples of additional parameters and practical uses in a r1q2.exe or quake2.exe shortcut.
