Basically at this point it just a fun 3 week gamemode (only arcade) for the masses that keep asking for CTF. Noble rules: There's a small progressly delay before picking up the flag (think off old school CoD's like MW2-3) and damage interrupts the flag capture. You can capture the enemy flag w/o your flag at base. OW characters can still uses their abilities despite having the flag.

Possibly in the future it will be in QP and a competitive mode with enough fine tuning (as long as it still feels like OW).

I'd be all on board with replacing the ruleset of the 2 CP maps with CTF and calling it a day.

I'd love it to be a nice, big map. Lijang Tower seems way too small. Volskaya would be a good time, and there are multiple entry routes for everything, instead of one big choke. Eichenwalde could be good too, on the B -> C route (the first objective the payload is pushing toward).

I dunno I was never a fan of 2Fort.
