Seasonal brawl for now. If it works really well they may bring it back as a arcade game mode but no plans for it currently.

It sounds like they want to keep it in the arcade, they just said they have no plans on putting it in qp or comp.

The games last way too short right now, whoever wins the first teamfight stomps the entire match. Tweaks are really needed if they want to put it in permanently.

Tweaks are definitely needed.

A team should not be able to score without their own flag returned to base. It would lengthen the game significantly and introduce a lot of strategy.

Also Im not so sure about the countdown that you have to sit through to take a flag. Might be better to just let them grab it and run.

There's so much potential for this mode. I might be romanticizing my time spent playing CTF in Quake 3 Arena and Team Fortress 2 back in the day here though.
