I've added ctf_wildfire to my server since it won the Competitive CTF TF2maps.net contest and it had a direct download link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/538305/Maps/ctf_wildfire_rc.bsp.bz2 If there are any other CTF maps that the tester group wants to try, give me a dropbox link and I'll add them to the server. Can't download/upload them myself because my internet is too slow, but if there is a ddl link I can wget them onto my server.

You should actually look at/try Vector if you haven't, it's a really fun pub map and could maybe be adapted (or at least the A/D CTF game mode) for comp.

[...] http://youtu.be/m7Xb5v0z7YE ctf_converge. Was in the 7v7 league iirc (gunboats/rocket jumper were allowed, so epic fun)

I'm trying to remember the name of a map i played (not in 6v6) with a neutral intell in the middle of the map which was very interresting... Worked like a Bball map, the capture zone was on the enemy's half of the map. Maybe something like that could be interresting for 6v6...?

[...] Ok. What is it about the rules/meta you do not like? Do people prefer needing your flag to be home to score or?

[...] ctf_vector you mean? ctf A/D or just A/D? Why do we not play dustbowl? (best map TF2) ctf vector is a great map with bad last, but it's a bit different and opens up a whole host of alternative and different strats. Have a look at it why don't you and maybe use the A/D meta in the ctf mode. Standard A/D maps are difficult, (see gorge), to get right, but I like playing them, they're super tense and reward good teamwork. What about total mix up with A/D with a mid fight. Team that wins mid then has like 10 minutes to cap next two points or we re-set and go for mid again. Wow my brain likes to fart...

Why not an AD map like gravelpit?

stick a launchpad in it that launches you sideways and up, rather than just straight up! :D My problem with CTF is that the only incentive to capping the intel is to end the game quicker, otherwise you can just cap it once and then stalemate it if you wish to. It's a gay way to play but its the only way people are willing to play in officials, Valve tried to fix this by adding crits on cap but thats a horrible way to fix it. Maybe make it so that incremental caps open up new routes/forward respawn or closes it if you're on the opposing team? If that's even possible, idk how well that would work though in tf2, i guess it would be down to testing it and seeing.
