On Complex, why does Red’s flag spawn right next to a grav lift while Blue’s flag spawns in the middle of an open field? Blue can grab Red’s flag and be indoors for cover the rest of the way home. That’s hardly fair.
And why is Abandon even in CTF? It’d be an excellent 1-flag map if we still had one flag (which is another thing that I’m still upset about), but it’s CTF Rule #1 to never play 2-flag on an asymmetrical map.

They wanted to try something new and failed on a few levels.
I’ll agree that some maps are better made for CTF than others. I do definitely thing that one-flag needs to be brought back into the mix and just play one or the other depending on map.
Yeah, just had 3 games in a row on Complex, always spawned as the red ream. It’s so difficult for that side to get close to the blue team’s flag, and even when I could, I’d get picked off from a distance because there’s no decent cover that isn’t the blue team spawn area.
