[GMST] [1.00] Capture the Flag

I watched the CTF video a few times and I've concluded that while mobility-enhancing skills such as Flashjump and Teleport are in play, the flag carrier will NOT be able to utilize them. That's how it was in Unreal Tournament, once you picked up the flag, you couldn't translocate without dropping it. This is going to make CTF a HIGHLY team-based PvP mode, which will be absolutely amazing... until the hackers pineapple it up.

How to CTF, MS-style:

1. Bum rush to flag
   
2. Bum rush back
   

Your opponent's lack of ability to actually critical hinder your movement or body-block you pretty much makes resistance futile. The maps make the strategy even better. Run along the high ground, if they follow up drop a level. The lack of decent skill auto-targetting in PvP (even in comparison to the rest of the game) and the lag that skills are all affected by, makes actually hitting a target who's focus is running around like a derp into something out of a children's cartoon. Road Runner and the Coyote or something.

CTF is a good game mode in many games, because the mechanics are refined and tuned to actually work, and you have the ability to play goalie with your flag, creating choke points and utilizing strategies like suppressive fire. None of these will actually work in MS, thanks to how PvP works. It seems like many people other than me have realized this as well, considering the amount of negative responses to the update.
