POLL: CTF or CP?

[Acuturbo]

CTF for sure. I get to play my favorite classes on CTF maps (Sniper, Scout, and Engineer).

 

[Mjolnir]

I prefer cp maps over ctf.

I like cp maps. hard to beat charging into a group of 6+ defenders, lighting them up & watching them run around like roaches after the lights come on, heh

 

[Dweeb]

CTF maps in my book ... thats about all i ever play.

 

[Cl!FF]

I prefer the control points, you can always see a lot of people just sitting at the controlpoint just waiting to be blown apart

I like CTF with Instant Spawn because my favorite server is 2Fort with Instant, and I just like that style of play.

Ctf just becomes a massive turtle-fest on /any/ map. This might be related to the fact that most engineers are jerks.

I prefer CTF for the sheer fact that I really only have one objective to defend. As a person who plays Engineer a lot, I like having a simple objective to defend, which I don't feel I have in CP. In CP, I think that there is just too much stuff happening and it makes it hard for me to keep up.

It really varies for me. Every map has its subtleties, and the difference between an instant respawn vs timed respawn makes a big difference as well. My only experience with CTF is 2Fort, which I had even played back in QuakeI days (skipped a Calc I final to play when I was a stupid freshman in college). A long map time on a 2fort server really guts the feel of urgency that heightens the TF experience, and the presence of more than one good engineer on defense neuters the prospect of the game actually going anywhere.

CP/PL maps are a little better. The two map types are actually almost identical playwise in comparison to CTF, the difference being that there are only a few cap points on CP and effectively infinite "points" on payload. A quick time limit and a shifting battlefield really spice up the experience, and I almost exclusively play PL for that reason. The trade-off between these maps and CTF are that it's easiest to feel a team imbalance on a CP/PL map than CTF, since the spawns are comparatively hard to camp on a CTF.
