I've never really understood why so many guys get hung up on CTF games. Sure, they're fun for a while, but in my experience, they're the biggest smacktard arenas out there.
Biggest smacktard arenas? How so? Is it anymore than conquest? CTF in Desert Combat was some of the best games I've ever played in the BF franchise. It's an adrenaline rush when you are the flag carrier, and the entire opposing team is hunting your ass down and they know where you are! Meanwhile you are being escorted by your teammates to get the win, it's like a well orchestrated football game. The tactics in those games are far more complex and interesting than boring Conquest. Conquest often times just turns into a 'merry go round' of capping flags. Sometimes I feel like a damn hampster playing conquest, around and around and around and around, AAAGGGH!! :)
Yeah, I can just imagine after getting the enemy flag and hoofing it all the way back to your base, an army of smacktards would be waiting to TK you and each other in other to have the honour of 'capturing the flag'.
Well that's an incredibly easy fix, have the tker lose more points for tking a flag carrier than he would get for scoring a point in CTF. You will always have smacktards in every game, you can either:
a) Let them ruin the game for you and not make a game or leave out a certain aspect of the game
or
b) Use your imagination a little, and throw in aspects to the game to prevent or minimize smacktard behavior.

Sorry, but it's been my experience that CTF brings out the worst in players. I think of every type of frustrating smacktard behavior that's ever mentioned in these forums and multiply it by 10 and that's CTF.
I'm not saying that it's not fun, it is in limited amounts. I just don't see it as the end all be all for online gaming the way some of you guys do.

You nailed it Johnny! Conquest is not only pointless it's boring.
You also make some good points about adjustments that would need to be made for it to work properly. With my experience ranked servers are FULL of PointWhores. Adding the ranking system to BF2 was not only one of the biggest mistakes EA has made it also killed teamwork.
Personally I only play on a couple of unranked servers where teamwork is greatly used (except for some chopperwhores) and would only increase with a common goal of 1 flag to defend and 1 to snatch.
I can only imagine the possibilities with squads and a commander how awesome CTF could be.
