Openfire - the flag can get stuck in the ceiling there too.

1. Pipes look yellow-green. Make an actual response to this one, please?

*sigh*
I don't even want to argue this, because I'm sure you have a misconception here in your mind that I probably can't get out.
But, I'll try anyway.
Knowing what team the pipes or grenades it came from is very useful, because being able to regonize IMMEDIATELY which team it came from. In any video game, it is the game's job to give the player as much information as possible so he can make the RIGHT decision for the situation.
Having to hesitate because you have to stop to figure out whose grenades or pipes those are could be critical when the other option is being able to recognize immediately what team they are on and either avoid them or go through them.
(Plus, can you even modify this? I would imagine that, because the game uses one model for the grenades and pipes for obvious reasons, and changing it for one team would change it for all teams, which would leave the same problem)
