When I initially discovered CTF, I rarely went back to FFA/DM games.  Team 
games
rock.  While I loved vanilla CTF and yes I've played the Lasermine and 
Netdoor servers
with lots of fun, my absolute favorite ultimate team Q2 game was Jail Break. 
That game
DEMANDED team coordination in order to win - no bones about it. I had loads 
of
fun playing that mod!  Good maps too!  Oh yeah, how bout Loki Minion's 
CTF..?!
Now that was great too, loads of maps, off-hand grapple, sounds etc....fun
fun fun fun.

Team WoD also was great fun, especially the latter versions in my opinion 
(CTF)...
thanks Cy..!!

But at the end of the day as you've pointed out, not much interest 
apparently from the
group other than a pickup Coop game every now and then....
