    There's no doubt this game mode has reached dead end. There's barely any casual activity, ppms are struggling to get sign ups, and there are only four teams remaining in the competitive scene.

    What I'll miss more than the game mode (Capture the Flag) though, are the classes.
    Some need work, some make me angry, but they're iconic and I'm sad to see them go.
    ..unless..

    I present not an option to save mcctf, but a way to start anew.
    I'm talking about trying new game modes.
    ..For me, I'm specifically thinking of two. Push the Payload, and King of the Hill.
    It's a Hell of a long shot, but I've been pondering the idea, and the thought of playing a push the payload or king of the hill game sounds fun. 6v6 (Or whatever number would be best here) and one of each class limit, and tighter maps is how I'd imagine that'd go.
    ..Obviously some stuff would need to be addressed. I.e: Ninja can't stall for overtime while in invis, distance from spawn(s) to objective, etc. However, with the right maps and coding, I think this could be an interesting way to continue exploring these iconic classes.

    ..Side Note: Yes, I am aware the classes would need significant balance tweaking and it would be a lot of work for a shot-in-the-dark kind of play like this, but nothing wrong with leaving the idea on the table, right?

    KOTH & Zone Control could prove to be much more enticing than CTF. If people log on and see "big area. capture big area. team help me." I can almost guarantee you'd see higher retention than going across a map over and over with no support 99% of the time. While there is a part of me that agrees with the "iconic" argument for keeping classes, gamemodes based entirely on PvP like this would change the meta enough to justify flat out removing some of them in my opinion. Clearing out an entire site with lightning or pot spam for example would be purely annoying - Archer would have to go no question. Anything's a shot in the dark at this rate, but Zone Control is actually already in some form of beta, so there's material to work with if people do decide to invest in it.

    Wouldnt mind making it like randomized. Like if it were ctf, king of the hill, or payload. Although brawl is a dying server so u never know.
    Also with the current staff idk how brawl will ever revive
