CTF

Flag reset timers need to come back, what eventually happens is all the flags are captured and its impossible to find a flag. I just spent the entire game in 4 team match running from camp to camp trying to find a flag.
There needs to be a lot more flag capturing.
Also I think stealing the flag should be possible, it would increase the amount of viable templates in ctf.

No, I see no valid reason why the game should get the flag back for you. Go get the flag back yourself. If anything the games should be longer. Then, you might actually be able to do something about it. Also only flag captures should be counted as points, not frags. It's called capture the flag for a reason. Also I can't stand your sig.

My 2c. I haven't been playing a lot, but the handful of ctfs I've made since resets was removed, have been better.
People are forced to kill flaggers, it should be that way. Any failed captures because of flawed strategy after you kill an opposing carrier isn't the rules fault.

Maybe this is true in a 2 team match, but nobody does this in a 4 team match because the flag capturers always have 8 healers in there camp waiting for people to come in and try to kill them. What happens when each flag is captured, and the people with the flags are just sitting there waiting for the person with their flag to die. Maybe if all the teams had their own vent channel or actually used team chat to coordinate attacks this might possible to overcome.

i havnt played a 4 man ctf in a long long time so i cant speak on that
However, the two team ctf games benefit greatly from the removal of the timer.
