July '09 Maptest
Unfortunatly CTF is a gamemode that Valve themself dont' bother much with. There's only three CTF maps of the stock maps I think.
Some of the better CTF maps discourage sentry farming by simple making it harder for engineers. :/

It's hard to find good CTF maps for the same reason it's hard to find good TC and Arena maps: the TF2 community as a whole seem to dislike the map type so usually less maps are developed for them D: I'm really looking forward to ctf_aurora which tweaks the normal CTF gameplay slightly, hopefully for the better. Casbah with egypt textures would be interesting, not sure if the map maker is still working on the map though.

That hall of death map earlier, while terribad, had a nice change to CTF. It gave the map a timelimit like a CP map which really seemed to help tone down the turtling.
EDIT: A Short timelimit, not a 40 minute one like 2fort.

Worth noting (maybe?) that TF2Maps.net has their annual contest ending September 12th or a week or so after. Dependent on the results of the poll. One of the two options for design is a CTF variant using multiple flags per side. In so far as I've seen a lot of people are going for the other option (payload race) but I think we'll still see several new CTF maps out of it.

Phase II begins nao :O Starting with this phase, we'll be testing out maps from our very own community members! This time it's cp_ghosttown, a map made by Nynnja. Put any feedback you have on the map in this thread, it will be greatly appreciated

Is there a Direct link to just that download so I can look at it in single mode? I can't get on #5 b/c I'm not a "group member" (even though I can see the thread for the Password)
