Make ctf_badlands_spire where you fight over one flag on spire and it’s soldiers only, that way you have a map that appeals to people as they can do loads if super awesome airshots and put them on YouTube!

Another option, have byte make a ctf map, it will be in s9 no matter how shitty it is!

This idea in part!

Badlands would make an excellent ctf map, with flags placed on spire (cp2 & 4), set the capture point to be cp 1 and 5, and you have a good map

I made this about a year ago and everyone hated it well bye

It was amazing in instagib though.

I totally agree with arnold. There are some major flaws in ctf which doesnt make it a suitable mode for the relatively slow gameplay of tf2.

But cyclemate, i dont think that making it easier to catch intelrunners will solve the problem. In fact ctf_mercy already tried that. In my opinion that map horribly failed. The idea is to move the spawns more to the center, so when you respawn you can catch the intelrunner who is probably there. The problem is that both enemy respawns become really close together so it basicly becomes a dm fight on the middle. Or you get turbine where the spawns are further away, but there it isnt that easy to stop the intelrunners.

You see it’s basically the same as capping a cp, only a lot less interesting. The actual fight happens and perhaps you will have to pop uber, force the enemy team to pop uber. But apart from that you’ll just have to win the deathmatch since there’s no real incentive to stand on a certain area you can just run around aimlessly killing everybody. when everybody’s dead you can grab intel and run. The whole running back to base with intel is just annoying and i hardly see an enemy team stop the intel from being capped once it’s out of their base. You could easily replace the intel with a cp and it’ll be more exciting. No running back with it, you can stop the cap you the fights will be more dynamic etc.

Valve has already invented this, it’s called Territorial Control.
Waiting for tc_turbine in that case.

ctf has nothing to do with tc. In fact tc is the most horribly failed gamemode that exists in tf2. It is replaced and rightly so with the much more interesting cp and pl gamemodes.
