CTF games taking too long.

[Tyler]

Capture the Flag used to have a timer, but ever since they removed it I find that many games end up just having 5 to 6 engies on each team and no caps are being made, which goes on for litterally hours before something happens and the last capture is made, anyone else think that the timer should be added back on CTF?

Yes. Go play Payload instead.

I'd rather find a way to fix CTF; I'm not just going to abandon it, this way of thinking is what'll kill the game sooner or later, it needs fixed, not ignored.

That how TF2 used to be, no limit on some gamemodes, match taking hours to win, THAT was TF2, not like today's casual that TF2 Team thinks is good, it just bring longer wait time and useless badges to show off, but no one gives a crap and these with higher level get into with lower levels.
So, anyways blame MYM.

Engineer should be banned from ctf :^)

I personally think "screw around" servers are the best.

It's not that I want it to be competetive, it's that to me, having 5 sentries on both sides is super boring, and a timer which will reset the match. Even before they had a vote to extend the timer if the server wanted to keep on going, that's how it should be.

I disagree. I like the fact that ctf takes so long.

Yeah, but before they also had the timer extend vote, so that way it's up to the people playing on the server.

Just go Demoman, grab a Medic, play around for a minute so Medic can build uber, then go storm the nest for an easy capture. Bonus points if you get a second Demoman/Medic pair, or a Heavy.

why cant you cap it instead?

[Tyler]

I understand there are other ways, but I'd rather have the timer to stop both sides having way too much defense and making it super hard to cap. Keep in mind that I'm also saying a way to vote on extending them timer if it is wanted by the people on the server.

It's because ctf is the land of the hoovies and f2p's

do i really need to explain how the gamemode exactly works? its not that hard to tell why some players is defending the intel and some players tries to cap the intel

I am talking about how the team balance becomes so bad where each team is focussing solely on defense and no offense

i have barelly meet players defending the intel so much. most of the players ive seen is just focusing on both kills and capturing the intel. just go to a new server and hope for the best to find a "perfect" server for you
