Of course, this is the mode that all the classes were designed in the first place for.
1v1? Like, Scout vs Soldier? That's not a DM, it's a murder ;D And nobody would say that classes where designed for CTF, seeing as Sniper isn't leagueable, as well as Pyro and Spy as some people say =o
I will agree that it shows the ability of each team since they seek the same goal, so the best balanced offensively and defensively team will probably win.

And of course, if you don't have many players, it doesn't seem to be as much fun. You don't really get the team balance in this mode, so for me it's more of a break from CTF. BTW....when will Avanti out?
If by same classes you mean all 9 on Offense and about 6 as D, I agree =D That's way more than the ones useful in CTF, I believe. The Spy is actually pretty useful, even against very organised teams, if you know what you are doing - i.e., not Sab the SGs, just grenade them. Just the fact of avoiding the SG fire makes the Spy the best class at taking out middle range well placed SGs. It needs more players, but I think it's the easiest mode to play, since you only need to focus in one thing.

Oh yeah, we need Avanti and other AD maps, like Ksour, that allow lower number of players.
