I'm not advocating "nannying" the game... quite the opposite. Certain game modes work that way, and that's fine. I like those modes, plus I like the chaos that can ensue in general pub CTF games.
You did mention the "old school" mentality, and yeah, I'm old school. I like games that are replayable. I have grown to seriously dislike the disposable games that are coming out. You play through, beat it, and on to the next game. That's why I love TFC, FF, and thousands of other games. They stay fresh, even though the game doesn't change much. Hell, I've spent 18 straight hours on a TFC server, playing the same map, and not gotten bored. Because it's ever changing in players, skill levels, etc.
Like I said a few replies ago, many of todays gamers want to press a button and be instantly gratified. Yes, that's a problem, and I have no idea how to solve it.
