    Now in no means am I trying to disrespect the coders and everyone else who worked hard into pushing out CTF, but here are a few things I personally would like to see added / modified.
    1.) Flag Timers
    Flag timers were essential in many matches and general CTF gameplay. The old timers were about 2 seconds for ninjas to pick up the flag and around 1 second for every other class. This makes capturing harder and defending easier, seeing as now ninja can instantly pick up flag without any defense even noticing.

    2.) Modified HUD
    I'd really like to see a [Color] Team's [Player Name] has stolen / captured / dropped [Color] Team's Flag, or something similar. This allows for players outside of the flagroom to know who has the flag, and who to ask if they need a medic or buffs. I would also like to see a flag countdown timer added to count down how long the flag is dropped before it is respawned.

    3.) Toggleable Messages
    The messages that pop up in front of your face are extremely annoying and distracting, especially if you are a pyro trying to keep a bunch of people away from your flagpost. You won't be able to see much with the continuous stream of [Color] Team's flag is stolen and [Color] Team's flag is dropped. (I have heard that this is being worked on, but I have not heard it from a mod / coder)

    4.) /m, /b, /t
    Although I'm pretty sure Nom is already working on this, I'd really would like /m, /b, and /t back so I can quickly call for a medic whilst running away from ninjas and assassins.

    5.) Reinstate Crit / Strength Nerfs
    With the normal crit and strength, chemist with their buffs and virtually any other class has an extremely high damage output.

    6.) Flags
    I have noticed that whenever a flag is dropped, it takes out the half slab from underneath it. You are also able to pick up the flag after the game is ended

    7.) Timers
    The timers seem to not be working >.>

    These are just a few of my suggestion and if they are already being worked on, great!

    Nom is working on numbers 1, 3 and 4 as far as I know. I also think he intends to add more to the HUD like hwo has the flag and such, but I'm not sure about that.

    Just saying the timer for flags was 0.5 seconds regular 1 second for ninja. A second is a long time...

    There's some really serious lag, unless that's me... and I'm thinking it's because Brawl isn't used to have so many players playing on the same the server at the same time, or the player base is getting higher and Brawl server can't handle it. Of course, I'm probably wrong.

    @Sir_Inge Pretty sure it was 1.5 seconds for ninja.

    Also, timer glitches being fixed would be cool, I don't think they ever got them fixed.

    Ninjas don't take damage while invis and sometimes they don't take damage. I like the wool not the banner though... like so many people have mentioned.

    Ninja invis makes you completely invincible, and that's already been reported.

    Personally, I think @Quarrelt had the best idea. Keep the banner as the flag, but replace the banner on your head with a fountain of banners coming out of your cranium. This would make the flag easily recognizable to new players, circumvent the helmet being removed glitch, and keep the same look of a flag carrier to veterans, while being fairly recognizable to new players. Good job Quar!!!!!!!!!!!

    Disagree. Flagpoles had 1 thing that banners don't, won't, and never will:
    A hitbox.
    This actually gave the defense a slight edge and it broke the sprint of flag carriers.
    Also, I'm pretty sure banners allow pearls to go through them as well as Mage shots.

    I personally would rather have the flagpost, but a banner is more recognizable for newer players. One of CTF's main points of attraction is it's noob-friendliness. That's how we get new players and keep them. It's not hard to learn or play.

    And yet, Mc-War has the same flagpost? Personally, I don't think it's at all confusing for noobs.

    I know, but it wasn't really hard to figure out that the wood stick with the dropped item on it was the flag. I legit had more trouble finding the flag than figuring out what it was on some maps.

    I want my hotbar to stay rearranged after I die.
    I do it with all classes my compass goes to 8, ninja my dust goes to 9, medic my webs go to 9 etc. Don't get me started on chemist I can't even play it because I am so used to having the pots in order.

    This. So this. I have to change my whole Ninja hotbar every time I leave the spawn now, and it's driving me crazy. I've actually pearled instead of gone invis because of this! xD
    Also, the lag makes it very difficult to change the hotbar... That's also frustrating.
