Yes, I still play regularly, right now my Global Ranking is 6490.

Personally, I hate the new time limits. IMO, the time limit is a poor band-aid that doesn't address the problem that they're trying to fix. The problem is in the "team balancing", where between rounds they're supposed to be taking the available players and divvy them up according to rank/skill level so that the teams are somewhat even. Well, whatever formula they're using isn't working -- there have been complaints about the lop-sided rounds where, ie in CTF, that one team gets 4 flags in 10 minutes and then spends the next 20 minutes base-raping the losers for points (stat-padding) before going for the last flag cap. So instead of fixing the balancing, they just limited the time so you can only base-rape for 10 minutes instead. :rolleyes:

Really, when you get in a good balanced match, some of the best ones are when you're down and you rally for a comeback. Now, there's not enough time to do that -- even worse, a lot of games both teams go into lockdown mode -- nobody goes for flags and its just a big team deathmatch. I've never seen so may tied games since the update Monday.
