I loved CTF (Destiny)

I seemed to recall however that Halo 4 had a variant of "Kill the man with the ball" and that the super powers made it pretty easy for a team, once grouped up to pretty much dominate. If you didn't get the power weapons spawn, then you had minimal chances of taking the ball.

In Destiny, all it would take is some wards of dawn and golden gun and you would have a tough time taking the ball.

I also think the lack of a Warthog equivalent and larger maps held it back too. Bungie has lots of experience trying to integrate vehicle and pedestrian spaces in maps, and I think they did a better job then Titanfall, but none of the maps with the exception of the Skyfall, Citiadel, and Luna map seem to be designed with vehicles in mind.

I think they could pull off a new game type, where two swords spawn on the map, one for each team. The sword holder would get bonus shields and the usual one hit melee. Each team would get points for sword kills, and would have to guard and escort their sword bearer without killing too many of the other team before the sword bearer gets them. If a sword is left unattended for a time it would respawn somewhere on the map, so you could not camp the opposing teams sword.
