Not all point has to be easily contested, and switch teams 15 times per minute. _________________ R.I.P. Spinfusor

Same goes for CTF flag placement, but is even more apparent here. Variety is good.

Worst case if one team hardcaps the two main bases you can hold the other 3 and win. I suspect most C&H with no FF is going to be a bit of a spam fest, but there is no reason people can't just chose what they like in that regard now that there are custom servers.

*facepalm*

Re: immediate problem with CAH Raindance.

A secondary entrance really needs to be added. There are multiple entrances with the other maps, so why not Raindance?

Capture point inside base generator room can be held to easily with very little defense due to how the base is setup. The hold marker should be placed outside or a secondary entrence should be added for this game mode ONLY not the CTF version.

I like the highly-defensible HQs. It feels like something worth actually trying to capture and hold. It also gives a reason to play a better variety of classes.
