    As a recoverer with ~300ms it is extremely annoying (and for mostly everyone else too) that when you kill the flag carrier, the flag can be picked up instantly by other team mates - no matter the class. It should have a ~0.5 second delay at least to pick up the flag again (with no delay for recovs) to give recoverers a chance to even recover after killing them.

    Some times I have to kill 3-4 people in a rapid succession because they keep picking up the flag faster than I can recover it. This is making the game even more ping-based than it already is and is generally annoying.

    I recall it having a pickup timer, regardless if you're stealing it from the post or picking it up off the ground. If there is no timer, one is intended to be there and will be fixed.

    Yeah, the pick up i'm talking about is picking up a dropped flag, the stealing from flag pole seems to be fine

    There have been instances where I wait until my teammate dies with the flag so I can pick it right up. I agree that it's a little bit unfair.

    In the past, there was a timer. So if there isn't now, it's a problem.

    Swag I think so as well. It would be great, especially if the flag carrier has support, they can just pick up the flag and run away, without giving the recoverer a chance
